00:00In the year 1750, the lay-bys of Old England were absolutely bristling with layabouts, ready to whip out their weapons at the drop of a cocked hat.
00:13And the cockiest layabout of all was one Richard Turpin, commonly known as Big Dick, on account of the size of his, uh, gun.
00:22Down, down, to the ruff!
00:24What is he? Where have we stopped?
00:25He's Dick Turpin, ma'am.
00:27Blimey!
00:28Oh, that's right where you are!
00:30Yeah, you're thrown down!
00:32Excuse me, madam, I don't think you've noticed what I've got here.
00:36Hmph, that doesn't scare me. I've seen bigger ones in my time.
00:40Only Sid James could play Big Dick with such a plunge.
00:45And he's the Reverend Flasher, too, on the choir.
00:48Which one of you is looking for Big Dick?
00:50He is!
00:52Barbara Windsor fills two roles very nicely.
00:54Oh!
00:55Kenneth Williams is a rather thick dick.
00:58You might just as well come quietly.
01:00I am trapped in fancy of the both street runners.
01:04And I'm Titania, queen of all the fairies.
01:07And Hattie Jakes pulls out all the stops.
01:11He's a very distinctive birthmark, sir, in a rather unusual place.
01:14Oh, well.
01:15He's not called a Big Dick for nothing, sir.
01:18Bernard Breslau.
01:21There are no flies on him.
01:23This is Joan Sims, doing the turn of the century.
01:26Come on, let me have a look at it.
01:27No, you mustn't!
01:28Come on!
01:28Kenneth Connor, doing his bit.
01:33Come on, my girl.
01:34I'll get away with you in the locker.
01:37This wench is Peter Butterworth, though he's really a Tom.
01:41The quicker that villain's caught, the better, eh, Tom?
01:43That's right, sir.
01:44No one's safe from Big Dick, and that's a fact.
01:46And who else but Jack Douglas, slashing his way to fame?
01:50Seldom, if ever, have the carry-on crowd rung out as many laughs
01:54in their quest to uncover Big Dick.
01:58Look out, sir!
02:00Oh!
02:02Selfie beast!
02:03Give me a bit of paper.
02:04Don't be silly, that pigeon will be miles away by now.
02:07Come back to the good old days with Peter Rogers,
02:09Gerald Thomas and the carry-on gang.
02:11Looks like we've got another big success.
02:13Oh, sir, all I want is your forgiveness.
02:16They're all in it, looking for Dick.
02:18You've got to get on top of it!
02:20Dick rides may not be strictly historical,
02:23but it's certainly hysterical every inch of the way.
