Every Home Should Have One
Marty Feldman stars in this riotous sex-comedy as an advertising exec tasked with making porridge seem sexy whilst balancing his chaotic home life.
Director: Jim Clark
Overview
One of the most recognisable faces of British comedy, Marty Feldman, plays Teddy Brown, an advertising executive at his wit’s end after being asked to run a sexy advertising campaign for…porridge? Along with his puritan wife, obsessed with “cleaning up” television, and his kleptomaniac son, Teddy is just one of a colourful cast of characters brought to life in this energetic seventies romp.
