Frankie Howerd DVDs to be won

An obscure Frankie Howerd cult film is to be released on DVD next week, and we have five copies to give away.

The kitsch 1973 Ealing comedy The House In Nightmare Park is a spoof of the Hammer-style horrors of the Seventies – and has attracted only five-star reviews on Amazon.

In it, Howerd stars as Foster Twelvetrees, a struggling actor who scrapes a living by giving hammy performances from the classics. But when he’s invited to give a dramatic reading at the country home of a well-off family he discovers dead bodies, snakes and a madwoman in the attic. Can he uncover the hidden family secret before he comes to a terrible end?

Here is a clip:

The film, which also stars Hugh Burden and Ray Milland, is released on Monday, priced £9.99 – but to stand a chance of winning one of our copies, just answer the following question by April 15, when we will randomly select the winners from all correct answers received. Usual terms and conditions apply.

Good luck!

Which of these is not a Frankie Howerd catchphrase?
