The film has no script but is a mixture of sketches.During the tour, Starkey and his aunt argue considerably.

Meanwhile, Mrs Starkey begins to fall in love with Buster Bloodvessel, who displays eccentric and disturbing behaviour.

The tour involves several strange activities, such as an impromptu race in which each tour group member employs a different mode of transportation (some run, a few jump into cars, a group of people have a long bike they pedal).

The tour also goes through a long crawl tunnel which leads to a set-up projector theatre, and involves a strange scene where the group walks through what appears to be a British Army recruiter's office.

The film culminates with the group splitting up to see strip shows.

Musical interludes include The Beatles performing "Iam the walrus " wearing animal masks,

and George Harrison dressed as a monk, singing "Blue Jay way " while waiting on Blue Jay Way Road.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Much of the film was shot in and around an airfield in Kent that had recently been decommissioned.

Many of the interior scenes, such as the final ballroom sequence for "your mother Should know ", were shot in the disused aircraft hangars. The exteriors, such as the "Iam the Walrus" sequence, and the marathon race,

were filmed on the runways and taxi aprons.

 

The mystery tour itself was shot throughout the South of England, including Devon and Cornwall,

although most of the footage was not used in the finished film.

The final striptease sequence was shot at Paul Raymonds Reveue bar, and the sequence for" The fool on the hill"was shot around Nice, in France.

The Film was slated at the time of release and is really only of interest to die hard fans!
