  • Story:
    With the destruction of their previous neighbourhood has inevitably come the destruction of the lads’ favoured watering hole The Fat Ox. Again, it’s Bob rather than Terry who is visibly distressed by this. Upset and much the worse for free alcohol, Bob then storms into the library to seek sympathy from Thelma - who is, predictably, unimpressed. So when Thelma finds out that Terry has been getting semi-serious with glamorous Finnish shop assistant Chris, she takes it upon herself to try and pair them off for good via planning first a dinner party and then that mainstay of 70s comedy, a camping expedition. Of course, things don’t go quite according to plan and before you can say ‘I can see the way this is going’ we are set up for japes, larks and embarrassing incidents aplenty, which culminate in the lads getting rather fed up with their partners’ attempts to inflict the rugged outdoor lifestyle upon them and trying to hitch up and drive off with the girls still asleep in the caravan.

TRIVIA AND POPULAR DIALOGUES

Trivia

Bob's poem quotation ("Dirty British coaster with a salt-caked smoke stack,/Butting through the Channel in the mad March days") is from 'Cargoes' by John Masefield. As the lads observe, it was a standard piece of recitation in schools and particularly noteworthy to Tynesiders.

Seen throughout the film, Noda Taxis are a genuine North Eastern firm, established in 1947.

Alun Armstrong (milkman) would later star with James Bolam in New Tricks (2003) in the early 21st Century.

Alun Armstrong (Tommy - Milkman) appeared in the series 2 episode Whatever Happened to the Likely Lads?: Conduct Unbecoming (1974) as the character Scaife.

Rodney Bewes stated that during the filming of this movie, James Bolam made personal remarks against him, and they have not spoken since. The true version of events is that Rodney Bewes spoke to the press and inadvertently mentioned that James Bolam was to be a father. Bolam was not happy and never spoke to Bewes again.
