The Story

Camelot - King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table preside over a united England. These knights are nothing like those in the history books, however.

   

 

Comments

This show and Short Knight, Long Daze are almost the same in storyline with just a couple of minor details changed. With most of the comedy coming from a word play of Knight/night, it is very poor. Kenneth Connor struggles desperately against a script of single entendres linked with misconceived farce. It doesn't really seem worth Joan Sims appearing, as her lines are poor and few in number. Give this one a wide berth.
