Following on from the 'Up Pompei' link, who can think of REALLY shit spin-off films from reletively successful BRITISH shows?
Here's my list;
1) The Sweeney! (First film was crap, 2nd far better)
2) Love thy Neighbour (even more dire than the series)
3) Till Death us Do Part ( Alf Garnett flick)

However, there were one or two 'better' offerings such as Steptoe and Son and The Likely Lads

if we're counting hollywood stuff, 'the saint' has to be a prime contender.

(been dying to do this for ages)

Please read the original post which clearly states which BRITISH films from spin-offs, keep the US productions to the appropriate department, ie the bin


cue for deletion?

Steptoe & Son.
Series ruled; films sucked.

Amazing considering they hated each others guts in real life.
