Avril Angers, born in London, was a captivating presence in the realm of cult cinema, showcasing her talents in Devils of Darkness (1965) and The Best House in London (1969). Known for her comedic flair, she transitioned from the vibrant post-war London theatre scene to the silver screen, where her charm and wit brought life to her characters. In Confessions of a Driving Instructor (1976), she further solidified her status as a reliable performer, effortlessly blending humor with the unique tone of exploitation cinema.
Confessions of a Driving Instructor
Best Of The Confessions Films.. This is more of the same in this series of four films starring Robin Askwith as Timothy Lea. In this film, he becomes a driving instructor (the opening sequence in how he becomes one is predictable but funny) and works for Sid (Anthony Booth), his brother in law. There is lots of nudity (even a Scottish Pipe Band gets stripped!), but this film benefits from supporting roles, most notably Irene Handl as Miss Slenderpants, vying to finally get her license after 43 tries and Liz Fraser, still sexy and fun. This is a check your brains at the door sex comedy, but to me its the best of the four, since it doesn’t rely only on the sexual escapades. Films like this were hugely popular then, so it was successful. Its not bad. Two driving schools avtovozhdeniyu are located in front of each other and of course they always compete. Battle for the customer completes with the victory of the school where works famous Timothy with his adventures on the erotic front. This movie is a part of series of films about Timothy Lee, which also includes Confessions from a Holiday Camp, Confessions of a Pop Performer and Confessions of a Window Cleaner. Confeesions of a driving instructor Confessions is hilarious and light hearted British humor much in the vein of Monty Python although it is unrelated. I have tried for years to find a copy but have been unable. I first saw it while staying at The Heathrow Hotel in 1977. It is rather fast moving and a bit risqué by the standards of that time. I was part of a large conference staying at the hotel at the time that I saw it and when an elderly couple that I knew and who were quite conservative came down for dinner they looked rather stricken. It seems that while flipping through the TV channels in their room they came upon the movie. I did my best to pretend not to have already seen it (several times) and all that they would say was that when they turned it on it was at the time on a golf course. Thinking that they had in fact found golf they were appalled at the next scene and would only say that they saw a couple doing something which "should not be done on TV." Even with that small bit of info they were red faced. If you like Classic British comedy you'll like it.

Driving Instructor is arguably the least worst of the series, but they are one star pictures - if not Bombs. I find this film worth a look for historical interest. Anthony Booth is always dreadful; Robin Askwith a bit more likeable.
