Reception
In 1968 Kine Weekly wrote: "The comedy is light and slight, mostly amusing and appropriately kept down to 27 minutes. Very useful British filler."The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote in 1978: "Desperately unfunny programme filler, unaccountably revived after ten years on the shelf. The 'humour' is largely a matter of telegraphed sight gags ; cast mug, grimace and generally look uncomfortable."
