Comment/Synopsis

After his wife leaves him (Graham Champman), a man hires a the odd job man (David Jason) who appears at his door to kill him, since he has failed to commit suicide. David Jason then goes a variety of attempt to kill Graham Chapman, but only ends up killing other people. Meanwhile his wife (Diana Quick) returns and they want to try and stop the contract to kill him. This was Graham Chapmans first film after Monty Python and runs as a series of sketches. The best performance is from David Jason in an otherwise weak film.
