Sadly,I'll only offend my public if I attempt Hamish and Dougal, so here goes.
Laird on lakeside bank to Ghilly: Those damn birds are too far away to take a pop at. Take the boat and get that big male to swim over in my direction,, will you?
Film. Absolutely no other clues.
Fingers on buzzers...go!

See, that's the problem. I didn't KNOW about the Hamish and Dougal thing and I was assuming the Scottish location of the initial story was somehow essential.
I didn't get the memo guys . . .

Housey, is it something about shooting cocks? Maybe the kind of film that a nice grrl like me wouldn't be watching?

No - sorry! A TWO WORD film, nothing to do with sport of any kind.
As for Hamish and Dougal, someone told me that the classic ISIHAC opening "Ye'll have had your tea?" or "Ye'll not be wanting tea, then?" is a parody on Edinburgh people who (I am told) have a reputation among the Scots for being tight with their hospitality.

Yes, that's right (the 'you'll have had your tea?' thing being an anti-Edinburgh thing.) As is Aids-ridden scum. And they will tell you that Weegies are soap-dodgers. There is little love lost. |

Plus, if he's a Laird how come he's on a lake?
Surely a laird would be on a loch? We don't have lakes in Scotland.

Very close - keep going!
Yes, of course there are no lakes in Scotland - see what I mean? I'd be hopeless at Hamish and Dougal.

No - getting much cooler now.
One of those four words, as I said, was just about there.

Is there a film called Charlie Drake? But yes, that is the right word.
I'm now worried that it is a film you've never heard of!
