mr_blue_owl   10 #1 Posted May 30, 2014 I remember watching a film on TV years ago but have failed to track it down Here is what I remember It had a father/daughter cast, possibly John Mills and Juliet or Hayley There were among a group of people holed up in a bank following a robbery The police tried to get them removed by bombarding them with Engelbert Humperdink 'Please Release Me' There is a guy running around with his underpants stuffed full of banknotes I believe it was made in Germany for some reason Yes I know it should be easy to track down, but I have so far failed Grateful for any help Cheers Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

Funnily enough as I typed that post, I was thinking about an even dafter animation that you and I watched around forty years ago - in darkest Woodseats I believe Cheers Keith Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
16niffirg   10 #4 Posted May 30, 2014 Can't remember the film? But that's not all that unusual considering our take on life then! Nearest I can get to it is the flat I was living in at the time on Derbyshire lane. I vaguely remember me, you, Mike Woodhouse and a lady friend at time "Jackie" But in all honesty quite a lot of it's a blur, except for the bets - which I always seemed to win -Snooker, Flags, you name it! Do you still have that website? For some reason it either crashed or you took it down or it was taken down, which seems like the more realistic option... Still living down the road from "The Cottage." Keeping Keeping on Patrico. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

The only thing I remember about the animation is that it was a comedy sci fi thing called something like Captain xxx and the xxx xxxx, and it started with a snooker ball coming through a living room window. We all had terrible hangovers at the time I have a new website now of which I will pm to you the address. The old one is still active after being suspended - which is why I switched to WIX. You were dead lucky with that snooker bet:suspect: Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...

mr_blue_owl   10 #8 Posted May 31, 2014 I have never seen either The Titanic or Capn Scarlet:( But there was defintely no Leo Nerdo Cappuccino in it:thumbsup: Was Scarlet the captain of the Titanic?

Beakerzoid   10 #9 Posted May 31, 2014 There's a 1999 film called "You're Dead" which has Please Release Me in it, and a scene with Rhys Ifans with cash strapped all over him as he runs around with a gun.  http://www.imdb.com/media/rm2228723200/tt0178997?ref_=ttmi_mi_all_prd_6 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites Share this content via...
