The Bed Sitting Room Blu Ray – Peter Cook, Harry Secombe

In the hazy aftermath of World War III the fallout from a ‘nuclear misunderstanding’ (which lasted two minutes and twenty eight seconds including the signing of the peace treaty) is producing strange mutations amongst the survivors and the noble Lord Fortnum finds himself transforming into a bed sitting room. This vividly imagined darkly satirical filmic version of a post apocalyptic England directed by Richard Lester (A Hard Days Night How I Won the War The Knack) is based on the highly regarded play by Spike Milligan and John Antrobus.
