message: Wasn't there somewhere in the seventies a funny television movie called A Grand Day Out with Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker? (and several others). DannyCaes (talk) 20:29, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: 1989's A Grand Day Out did not have them in the cast, will leave it with you to search for an earlier movie. . dave souza, talk 21:47, 14 May 2021 (UTC)
replies: text: Mmmmmm... it was not that one (from 1989). The version with the two Ronnies and many more well-known British television actors was from the mid seventies (probably from 1974, or 1975, or 1976). It was a very funny movie. At a certain moment a naughty person went to the dike to paint the eyepiece of a coastal telescope black (shoe polish), while one after the other tourist went to the telescope to take a look (to see certain magnified parts of the beach and the sea). None of those tourists immediately knew that the surroundings of their eyes look'd pitch black after looking through the apparatus (can't remember if it was a monocular or binocular telescope, and if each one of those tourists had one or two black eyes).

text: I think you're looking for By the Sea (1982 film). My favourite scene is where Ronnie breaks the chair outside the bathroom, a perfect bit of silent acting. Bob talk 15:11, 20 July 2021 (UTC)
