Quotes
TV announcer: Good evening. Welcome to another edition of "Where are They?" All over the world there are men and women doing unusual things. This evening, let's take a look at Reginald Blake, author and explorer. Last interviewed on this programme several months ago, before he embarked upon one of his more hazardous adventures. Where is he now? This is a map of the Sahara and somewhere about here
[indicating on the map]
TV announcer: Reginald Blake is walking, intending to be the first man to walk across the Sahara. Mad? Impetuous? Perhaps. But also brave; a pioneer. Let me tell you something about him and his adventures.
[indicating a photo on the screen]
TV announcer: In Africa, where he removed a thorn from the paw of a savage lion; and here, six months later, having recovered from his wounds, he's on the brink of death in the Andes, but still smiling gamely. And here he is in the Arctic. An ice floe had broken away from the main body and it was several weeks before they discovered that he was still alive. Well that tells us a little about Reginald Blake and his adventures. Adventures which his many successful books have described in moving detail. But where is he now?
[he is handed a note]
TV announcer: This man to whom every trackless waste is as familiar as his own backyard.
[He looks at the note]
TV announcer: He's lost! Lost?

I Couldn't Kill A Goat By Punching It

Terry-Thomas goes missing while walking across the Sahara, researching his new book for publisher Wilfred Hdye-White. When he finally steps off the plane, bearded and dressed like a Bedouin, wife Janette Scott is glad to see him, and Hyde-White is already counting the profits. But TT now thinks like a Bedouin, which annoys Miss Scott, and the book he writes is nothing at all like his earlier best sellers, so they all decide to split up.... except that TT and Miss Scott split their house down the middle.

It's a comedy competently directed by Brian Desmond Hurst near the end of his directorial career, and very clear in what is going to happen all the way through. There are few surprises, although the performers get all the laughs they can out of the situations, with Nicole Maury as 1: French; 2: a photographer; 3: the would-be girlfriend of TT; and 4: someone who can kill a goat with a single punch.

Which gives you an idea of the humor.
