The SassyFlix Take

If a cleaning job came with this much erotic chaos, you’d expect hazard pay. Jim Atkinson’s comedy delivers a parade of slapstick, innuendo, and British naughtiness, as Gil’s talent for stumbling into risqué entanglements is matched only by his inability to keep his trousers—or his dignity—intact.

Why Watch It

British Sex Comedy Mayhem

About This Film

Accident-prone Gil wants a steady job but is dismissed by every company that recruits him due to his unfortunate habit of ending up in sexually embarrassing situations. His girlfriend Annette says that she will marry him only if he can stay employed for at least a week. Hired by Mr Grimwood's cleaning company "Here To Service You", Gil is unwittingly drawn into a series of bawdy misadventures: sharing a bath with a married woman and getting caught by her husband; having a threesome with a hospital patient and a woman doctor, followed by a foursome with Annette, Grimwood and a woman psychologist; awkward encounters with a gay man and a lesbian; and getting caught by Annette playing strip poker with a group of women. Incredibly, Gil remains in his job and Annette marries him, but before the couple can have their wedding night Gil collapses on the bed and passes out from exhaustion.
