Sykes at 80: A Celebration
Sun 7 December, 3pm

Bristol Silents are honoured to welcome Eric Sykes, one of the
legendary names in British comedy, to talk about his films. He will look back on his work as a writer and director of comedy shorts and has chosen clips from his own ‘silent’ comedies along with extracts of his comedy heroes.


This will be followed by a Q&A session. A rare opportunity to see this great comic talking about his own work. Plus a screening of:

The Plank
Dir: Eric Sykes UK 1967 45mins
Cast: Tommy Cooper, Eric Sykes, Jimmy Edwards

Sykes explores the visual side of humour to great effect in The Plank, which he wrote (and also directed) almost entirely without dialogue. The premise sees Sykes and Cooper needing one plank of wood to complete a floor but then getting into scrapes galore when transporting said lumber from timber yard to building site. Along the way a galaxy of TV stars aid or obstruct their cause.

Eric Sykes Double Bill
Sun 21 December

Mr H is Late
Dir: Eric Sykes UK 1987 28mins
Cast: Spike Milligan, Freddie Starr, Roy Kinnear

Sykes is in charge of a team of undertakers moving a coffin from a home to the church. The home is on the 26th floor of a skyscraper; the stairs are narrow; the lift is small and prone to breaking down. Chaos ensues.

It's Your Move
Dir: Eric Sykes UK 1969 27mins
Cast: Tommy Cooper, Richard Briers, Jimmy Edwards

A classic 'Sykes Silent' packed with classic comedy and great British comedians. A newly married couple move into their first house, then the removal men (led by Sykes) arrive, bringing the house and the whole street into chaos.
