This glorious sequel to Whisky Galore! sees the islanders of Todday once more at odds with the authorities from the mainland!
The very future of the idyllic Hebridean Island is threatened when the government decides that Todday would be the ideal place to build a giant missile base! Hugh Mander is sent from the mainland to compile a secret report on the island and its inhabitants. While there, he falls in love with Janet, the local schoolmistress, but he is soon exposed as a government spy!
Hurt and humiliated, Janet now personally leads the islanders in a campaign to stop the missile base being built.
A star-studded cast including Donald Sinden, Gordon Jackson and Jeannie Carson (plus Ronnie Corbett in an early role) keep the laughs coming in this great traditional British comedy.
This is now a deleted title and now really hard to get. Indeed what few copies are about sell for £30 - £60.
As of May 2015, a cheaper and more rewarding alternative (in fact the only alternative) is to buy the UK Donald Sinden 11 disc Dvd boxset which includes Rockets Galore. It retails for between £20 - £30 but there are 12 films, I seem to remember. Further details are at amazon.co.uk and a direct link is here
