[Bounci]

I usually upload on here on a Sunday, but circumstances mean I shall be taking a break from here for a while. So here is the next clip in what seems like an endless supply from film and TV of bum patting on screen. Never did I think when I first started this that I would have so much material in hand (so to speak).

Anyway, this clip is from the film On the Fiddle (1961), starring Alfred Lynch, but being more interesting for the fact that his dim witted buddy is a pre-Bond Sean Connery. Here they turn up to help out at a canteen kitchen run by Jack Smethurst and a young Patsy Rowlands (from Hallelujah!, above) in a very early screen appearance. And it is her who ends up having her bum slapped by Smethurst, as she sits on the table applying her lipstick. Patsy would later go on to find fame in the Carry On films and TV's Bless This House in the 1970's in a varied career. She died in 2005, just 3 days after her 74th birthday.
