Plot


After returning from a holiday at Hope Cove in the West Country, Dennis Carter (Adrian Edmondson) tries to impress a girl by untruthfully boasting of being a drug smuggler. The girl is unimpressed; however, he is overheard by the police, who persuade him to become a supergrass and inform on his associates. The more Dennis lies, the bigger the hole he digs for himself.

Versions


The version of the film initially released in the cinema ran 107 minutes, which was subsequently released on VHS running to 103, due to PAL speed-up.
The film was screened by Channel 4 on 13 March 1988, as a prelude to the fourth series of The Comic Strip Presents, but this was a version cut down to 93 minutes 26 seconds, equivalent to 97 minutes 20 seconds in the cinema, so missing some nine minutes 49 seconds. All subsequent VHS and DVD releases, including the "complete" Comic Strip box set, use the shorter cut-down version.
