    One of the best!

    Before there was 'The Full Monty' there was 'The Bare Necessities': a gang of lands who hapless find that they've become male strippers. A gritty tale of miners not the more cavalier unemplyed charaters of Monty, for me this is the real one! Excellent performances from all the cast, especially William Ash, who never disappoints - a talent to watch for the future!
