Three hour-long television specials filmed for Thames Television during Dick Emery's brief hiatus from his 15 successful years at the BBC. The shows feature all of Emery's best-loved comic characters, including favourites such as Hettie the sex-starved spinster, Gaylord the bovver boy, camp Clarence with his catchphrase 'Hello, honky-tonk!', and busty middle-aged blonde Mandy ('Ooh, you are awful!'). Guest stars include Lulu, Lynda Carter, Richard Todd, the Three Degrees, Gemma Craven and Beryl Reid.
Sketches include 'Keep Fit', 'Vicar Wine Tasting', 'Loading a Cannon', 'Sleeping Beauty Act III', 'Attic Memories', 'Dick Emery's Fun Book', 'Ada and Herbert', 'Bert Plans a Trip to Mars', plus music from guests Brooks, and Lulu.
