The Passionate Pilgrim (film)

The Passionate Pilgrim 1984 is a short feature film starring Eric Morecambe, Tom Baker and Madeline Smith notable for being Morecambes last work, and one of few not to feature his longterm partner Ernie Wise. The film takes the setting of a silent film with narration provided by John Le Mesurier of Dads Army fame, this too was some of his last work prior to his death in 1983. The film centres on a Lord who lives in a castle the film was made entirely on location at Hever Castle and his Lady the latter of which attracts the amorous attentions of the titular character. The plot centres on the pilgrims failed attempts to gain entry to the castle by any means possible, and the lengths the lord will go to in order to stop him. In one memorable scene once the assailant has gained entry the lord brandishes an aerosol can labelled KnightRid to stop the pilgrim in his tracks. This film harks back to the era of silent films and is an unusual swansong for the muchmissed comedian.
