Review

Willy Carson, a mildly diverting grub, jumps and squeaks while the knowledgeable but anaesthetic lass towering over him whitters plumily about how 'crazy' Jeff Banks is. As we soon learn, Jeff Banks is not so much 'crazy' as suffering from a serious psychological disorder. As he slimes around chinless nouveau-riche aristo-wannabes and reactionary bumpkins Banks, the arch sycophant, shrieks manically at the sight of a peacock feather in a hat and praises the wearer for 'bravely defying convention'. A brief look at some stupid horses then we are treated to more sweeping shots of the Royal Enclosure where there are more slobbering fillies and in-bred mares than there are in the paddocks. Ha ha, look at Alex Ferguson trying to be middle class - his hat is too big.
