Was he on a summer holiday?  He certainly looks like a young one.  Now a shadow of his former self.

A truly dreadful film that is well worth watching for its canal content. Wonderful scenes around Gas Street Basin, and i really envy him that hovercraft. I also envy him that narrowboat which is 7ft wide outside but over 14ft wide inside.

The Brumburgers are there but now go under the "Handmade Burger Company" name

And there's no 's' in Cliff Richard.

but there is an 's' in Cliff Richards.

 

.........................  you're right, I've never heard of him either.

correct, there's definitely no 's' in Harry Webb....................  unless he's really called Harris Webb.

Shouldn't that be Harris Weave?

I understood he was not only the last person to go round The Loop, but he was simultaneously the first person to go around it by hovercraft.

Incidentally, I do believe that the younger Sister of Zita Speight may also be seen when the Coventry Brass Band appears.

It's called 'Take me High' and came out in 1973.  It's available on DVD and was also issued as a freeby in the Daily Mail. I got a copy from a charity shop, worth getting just for the canal scenes.

Cliff Richard was variously known as Harry Webb, Harris Webb, Harris Tweed, and Debbie Harris before teaming up with ex newreader Anna Ford to form the famous duo Harris & Ford.

Hope he doesn't land his hovercraft on the wrong Canal.
