    Storyline

    Edit
    Speedee Taxis is a great success, which means its workaholic owner Charlie starts neglecting Peggy, his wife. Suddenly a fleet of rival taxis appears from nowhere and start pinching all the fares. The rivals are Glamcabs, and they have a secret weapon. All their drivers are very attractive women! Who's behind Glamcabs? It's open warfare and only one fleet can survive! —Simon N. McIntosh-Smith <Simon.N.Smith@cs.cf.ac.uk>

    Did you know

    Edit
    • Trivia
      Charles Hawtrey was unable to drive, and was given 1 hour lessons 3 times a day for 3 weeks by Pinewood Studio staff and passed his test on the Friday before filming began.
    • Goofs
      Many, if not most, of the Glamcabs only have two doors, which would make them unsuitable as taxicabs. All scenes involving passengers only used the four-door cabs.
    • Quotes

      Expectant Father: Are you a taxi?

      Charlie Hawkins: No.

      [pointing at the vehicle]

      Charlie Hawkins: *This* is a taxi.

      [pointing at himself]

      Charlie Hawkins: *I'm* a driver.

      [pointing at Pintpot]

      Charlie Hawkins: *He's* a learner.

      [pointing at the expectant father]

      Charlie Hawkins: And *you're* a twit. Now get out of the way, I'm in a hurry.

      Expectant Father: No, no, you must help me. It's my wife - she's going to have a baby.

      Charlie Hawkins: And if I don't get home by seven, mine's gonna have a fit.

    7/10
    Dated but still better than some of the series.
    This is an old fashioned "battle of the sexes" comedy where an unappreciated wife ( Hattie Jacques ) sets up a glamorous female-only taxi outfit in competition with the existing old-fashioned male-only taxi firm run by her workaholic husband ( Sidney James ). Of course the glamorous cabs win all the custom until the male cab business is on the rocks...

    By no means the best of the series but still far far funnier than "Carry On Columbus" or "Carry On Behind" etc.
