What a Carve Up! — Murder, Mayhem & Magnificent British Comedy
This time on Giggle Pod, comedy historians Robert and Gemma Ross unlock the creaking doors of the classic British comedy-horror film What a Carve Up! — starring the incomparable Sidney James and Kenneth Connor. With a spooky mansion setting and a gathering of suspicious relatives for the reading of the will, with lots of razor-sharp one-liners and glorious slapstick chaos, Robert and Gemma dig into the film’s place not only in comedy history, but its many connections with classic horror cinema. Along the way, they discuss the legendary cast, and just why the film will make you yearn for a fish 'n' chips supper! So, as Friday Night is Horror Night, and today is the anniversary of the birth of Sid James, what better subject for Robert and Gemma to sink their teeth into. And if you enjoy this spirited chat about the film, we highly recommend you read the book. Well, Jonathan Coe's novel which is something sort of the same but very different! And wonderful. #GigglePod #WhatACarveUp #SidJames #KennethConnor #BritishComedy #ClassicComedy #ComedyPodcast #BritishCinema #VintageFilm #ComedyHistory #CarryOn #ComedyLegends #FilmPodcast #CultCinema #RetroComedy
