A discovery from TMDB

The Plank

19790h 28m7.4/ 10 · TMDB · 15 votes
Comedy

Classic short British comedy, full of stars, about two workmen delivering planks to a building site. This is done with music and a sort of "wordless dialogue" which consists of a few mumbled sounds to convey the appropriate emotion. TV remake of the 1967 short.
