The trumpet scene WAS on here at one point but may have been removed. I'll try and upload it at some point :)

@webothlovesoup

Couldn't you post the whole picture? I can't find it on DVD...

[webothlovesoup]

@Parvati78100 I'm afraid I no longer post full movies becaue I did in the past and not only did it take a lot of time but I got into trouble from youtube. Sorry. It is available on DVD at Play.com

As an ex-trumpet player the trumpet bit is silly because Kay is pressing all the wrong valves - the idea that Kendall could play like that, especially after stopping at 16 is impossible But the solo itself is the wonderful work of that genius Kenny Baker! I have only just learnt that Kay Kendall died at 32!

If any foreigner would like a quick crash course on the British psyche, just watch the bed and breakfast scene.

'No-one's ever complained before!'
