Supposedly based on the story of notorious Streatham brothel madam Cynthia Payne, this hugely entertaining British film (starring the brilliant Julie Walters and Emmerdale’s Shirley Stelfox) paints a captivating and extremely funny picture of day to day life in a ‘disorderly house’.

Now how can there be anything wrong in that?
