Re: name this film please
 

no i have party party on dvd but i think most of the cast are in the swimming pool film

Re: name this film please
 

as far as i can recall i think the storyline centered around a high diving competition at an outdoor pool between a geek type and a musclehead type with daniel peacock (i think) playing the geek.....im sure channel 4 funded the film and i would like to track it down to see if its on vid or dvd coz i remember enjoying it and laffing my head off at it....

Sorry atomic22, the best I can find at the moment is this list found here

I seem to remember the film slightly though I can not remember the cast :)

If and when you find out let us know, cheers :)

EDIT:_ you sure it was him ??? :)

Re: name this film please
 

i think it was daniel peacock but i couldnt be certain...i have looked at his "filmography" and the film is not mentioned so it may not be him
:shrug:

Re: name this film please
 

I've just found your request when looking for the same information.

I saw the film in 1981/2 as a B movie - Trading Places was the main feature. Definitely had Daniel Peacock in it and the highlight was the "perfect dive". I also have a strong memory of the opening race from the lights with Daniel and father.

Does anyone know this film?

I've only just come across this site so this may have been answered long ago, but the film in question was called "Espresso Splasho":Peaceman:

Re: name this film please
 

If that's correct then yours is possibly the best first post ever seen :nworthy: :D

Re: name this film please
 

Someone let Atomic22 know, he doesn't visit as often these days.

good call brighton_exile:tu:

Re: name this film please
 

Why, thank you!

I was actually googling for references to the "Espresso Splasho" soundtrack and found a link to this site.

As previously stated in this string, many of the cast of "Party Party" were also in this one - plus IIRC a very young Mark Wingett (Jim Carver?) - they were almost like a repertory company of British film yoof.

Okay, try these then 80's some time a couple of short films on BBC2 1 was to do with Class where a working class couple send the daughter to a posh upper class boarding school to give her a better chance, the father worked in a biscuit factory and they ended up living in a caravan after selling their terreced house to pay the fee's (I think one of the pythons was involved in it)

Also (may have been the same program) something set in a post apocliptic future where its not just dog eat dog but dog shoot world+dog there was an arcade game where the players have to go through some familear scenes from the 80's that are designed to wind you up (queueing for the post office and then after the old woman in the front dithers, you get to the fron as the counter closes.) the last test invovled the coin slot.

Sorry if the details have been a touch vauge in places, I remember a bit more but to say much would give away the endings. I can let people know by PM if they want to confirm what they think.

Hi buddy and welcome to the forum,

The thread you've answered is well over 4 years old and I'm not sure that the OP or any of the responders are even active any more.

If though the film was made for channel 4 then you could contact them regarding the film and how to get a copy.

Re: name this film please
 

I Have tried to get this film, it was the follow up to Party Party.
I spoke to Perry Fenwick who was in it and he wan`t sure if any copies were available , although he did say his mum has a copy but i haven`t seen him for ages to ask him again.

A great film

I think the only way to get this is by methods that cannot be said here.

Holy cow! What a first post!! :clap::D

Re: name this film please
 

I doubt Buddy will appreciate it. He posted that 2 years ago and hasn't posted since. :erm: :)

Re: name this film please
 

Hi, I realise this reply is very late, but I've only just read your query!! That film was called, "Espresso Splasho" it was a 'B' movie at the cinema, on with a major film. My sisters and I loved that film. It was set in the 1950's and set around a swimming pool. I've never seen it again, but it was great, better than the major film, and starred the wonderful Daniel Peacock. I hope that's helped, even though it's 20 years late!!! Take care, Val.
