Jack Warner and Kathleen Harrison Mr.&Mrs.Great Britain as the Huggetts were known are back from Holiday Camp where they made their big screen debuts with a whole lot of cast changes. Only Warner and Harrison and Jimmy Hanley are playing the roles that they played in Holiday Camp. In fact the Huggetts came home with two extra daughters and minus the son they had. Oh well, the Hardy family underwent several casting changes after their series debut at MGM.
Jane Hylton, Susan Shaw, and Petula Clark are the daughters and it was a nice change to see Petula in her younger days before she became an international star with Downtown in the Sixties. Hanley and Hylton fell in love at Holiday Camp and here they get married, but not without a few bumps along the way, one of them being David Tomlinson.
The Huggetts also get a distant cousin dumped on them as a border and while young Diana Dors is lovely to look at she's one spoiled brat who is quite aware of her attraction to the opposite sex. Most reluctantly Jack Warner gets her a job at his place of employment and she causes no end of trouble.
Funniest bit though was at the parade for the Royal Wedding where Warner gets into a scrape and the Huggetts miss the parade. How often do those things happen and Petula Clark is most disappointed of all.
Here Come The Huggetts continued in the tradition of Holiday Camp and this is a nice introduction to a family a lot of people in the UK identified with in those post war years.
