Mr. McLeavy: It's a cold collation, sir.
Mr. Bateman: It's Monday. There's always steak and kidney pudding on Monday.
Mr. McLeavy: Mrs McLeavy *died* this morning, sir.
Mr. Bateman: Your staff problems are not *my* concern!
Mr. McLeavy: Unfortunately she was unable to make a pudding before she went.
Mr. Bateman: I hope this doesn't prove to be a permanent state of affairs.
Mr. McLeavy: Well it is for *her*, sir.

Trivia
This was the first film to be re-edited by the BBC for television showings because of bad language. Its first television airing was in the summer of 1976. See more »Goofs
When the hearse that Dennis is driving goes out of control because its brakes have failed, and the other vehicles in the funeral procession accelerate to keep up, they lurch round several corners. Skid marks from previous takes are visible on each corner. See more »Quotes

You can't go wrong when Galton and Simpson adapt an Orton play.
Very black, very funny, and gloriously captures the end of the swinging sixties with the Dennis and Hal's curious way of getting out of a parking ticket.
Roy Holder and Hywel Bennett are perfectly cast as the roguesh but likable main characters, and the supporting players help to carry the film along at a pace.
Ultimately a very enjoyable film, and I can only roll my eyes at the thought of it being compared to Weekend at Bernies - where Loot has black humour, Bernies only has slap stick.
