At Home with the Groomkirbys

The only black & white film directed by Peter Yates. Largely known for action films like 'Robbery' and 'Bullitt', he also made chamber pieces like 'The Dresser' and this deceptively deadpan, charmingly dated adaptation by N. F. Simpson of his own play (about which the funniest thing is probably the usual disclaimer at the end about it's resemblance to actual persons living or dead).

Similar to 'Billy Liar!', only here it's the entire family that all live in worlds of their own. Alison Leggatt is particularly good as the mother but all the cast are excellent, which include Eric Sykes in a rare leading role in a film and an even rarer - almost silent - part for Jonathan Miller, who usually had so much to say in his TV appearances.
