Timmy Lea and his brother-in-law Sidney Noggett are working as entertainment officers at Funfrall, a typical British holiday camp. The staff are lazy and inefficient, preferring to laze by the pool rather than organise activities for the holiday campers. A new owner, Mr. Whitemonk, an ex-prison officer, takes over the camp and is determined to install discipline into the staff. He is on the verge of dismissing Timmy and Sidney; however, Sidney's suggestion of organising a beauty contest changes his mind.
Acting
Robin Askwith's permanently flustered everyman energy.

Genuine Butlins-adjacent camp locations, authentic down to the chipped paint.

Norman Cohen
Trivia, insights & behind the scenes
Part of the 'Confessions' series that made Robin Askwith the unlikely face of 70s British sex comedy, spawned from a novel series that sold millions.
The holiday camp setting directly parodies Butlins, where director Norman Cohen had actually worked—he knew this world intimately.
