I had only just been thinking how the brother in Fargo reminded me of Oddbod in this.
Almost gave up, so much were Harry H Corbett, Jim Dale and Peter Butterworth overacting. Then things improve with Fenella Fielding (a sort of pantomime Joan Greenwood) and Kenneth Williams (who I guess was in a way a latter-day Clifton Webb).
Also quite liked appearances of Bernard Bresslaw as implacable butler, Charles Hawtrey as a cheerful toilet attendant, Jon Pertwee as dotty Scottish scientist, Angela Douglas as girlfriend. Joan Sims is in terrifying fishwife mode.
