Gwenlyn Parry's cheap and cheerful Grand Slam is an undistinguished but generally diverting Paris-set BBC Wales comedy, hamstrung by lacklustre direction and poor editing, but buoyed by memorable dialogue and camp charm.

"The Welsh rugby match against the French in 1977 serves as the backdrop for this sporting comedy. A group of Welsh fans travel to Paris to watch their heroes in action, and cause a ruck to match any constructed on the pitch. Windsor Davies stars as Mog Jones, Hugh Griffith is undertaker Caradog Lloyd Evans, and Dewi Morris plays his son. Real life rugby stars Gerald Davies, JPR Williams, and Phil Bennett also put in appearances." Duke Video
