What happens
The Night We Got the Bird is a 1961 British comedy film directed by Darcy Conyers and starring Brian Rix, Dora Bryan, Ronald Shiner and Irene Handl. It was written by Conyers, Rix and Tony Hilton, based on Basil Thomas's 1957 play The Lovebirds. It was the follow-up to The Night We Dropped a Clanger (1959), and includes the last film appearance by Ronald Shiner. The title references a phrase in British English with its origin in the world of 19th century theatre, where it was customary to hiss like a goose to express disapproval. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
