Just minutes ago, finished watching a film with Lexi: Chitty Chitty Bang Bang. I had literally not seen a frame of it since I was a tiny kid. What I didn't remember is except for Dick Van Dyke, it's an almost 100 percent British enterprise, shot mostly at Pinewood Studios. Unlike Mary Poppins, Dick does not trot out his much-criticized cockney accent.
Very surreal. The 60s were indeed a strange time.
And of all people, who should pop up? Benny Hill.
Lots for an anglophile and nostalgic to sink his teeth into.
