What happens
Slapstick and Old Lace is a British television sketch show which originally aired on ITV in 1971. Starring Charlie Drake, it was his follow-up to his hit television comedy The Worker which had lasted from 1965 to 1970. Also appearing in the show were Anna Dawson and Henry McGee. The title is a reference to the play Arsenic and Old Lace. In 1976, Drake appeared in a stage show of the same name, which failed due to the extraordinary hot summer during which audience numbers dramatically fell. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
