You do not have permission to edit this page, for the following reasons:

This IP address has been blocked from editing Wikipedia.
This does not affect your ability to read Wikipedia pages.
Most people who see this message have done nothing wrong. Some kinds of blocks restrict editing from specific service providers or telecom companies in response to recent abuse or vandalism, and can sometimes affect other users who are unrelated to that abuse. Review the information below for assistance if you do not believe that you have done anything wrong.

The IP address or range 54.163.0.0/16 has been blocked (disabled) by ‪Blablubbs‬ for the following reason(s):

The IP address that you are currently using has been blocked because it is believed to be a web host provider or colocation provider. To prevent abuse, web hosts and colocation providers may be blocked from editing Wikipedia.
You will not be able to edit Wikipedia using a web host or colocation provider because it hides your IP address, much like a proxy or VPN.
We recommend that you attempt to use another connection to edit. For example, if you use a proxy or VPN to connect to the internet, turn it off when editing Wikipedia. If you edit using a mobile connection, try using a Wi-Fi connection, and vice versa. If you are using a corporate internet connection, switch to a different Wi-Fi network. If you have a Wikipedia account, please log in.
If you do not have any other way to edit Wikipedia, you will need to request an IP block exemption.

How to appeal if you are confident that your connection does not use a colocation provider's IP address:
If you are confident that you are not using a web host, you may appeal this block by adding the following text on your talk page: ((unblock|reason=Caught by a colocation web host block but this host or IP is not a web host. My IP address is _______. Place any further information here. ~~~~)). You must fill in the blank with your IP address for this block to be investigated. Your IP address can be determined here. Alternatively, if you wish to keep your IP address private you can use the unblock ticket request system. There are several reasons you might be editing using the IP address of a web host or colocation provider (such as if you are using VPN software or a business network); please use this method of appeal only if you think your IP address is in fact not a web host or colocation provider.

Administrators: The IP block exemption user right should only be applied to allow users to edit using web host in exceptional circumstances, and requests should usually be directed to the functionaries team via email. If you intend to give the IPBE user right, a CheckUser needs to take a look at the account. This can be requested most easily at SPI Quick Checkuser Requests. Unblocking an IP or IP range with this template is highly discouraged without at least contacting the blocking administrator.

This block will expire on 17:28, 10 March 2024.

Even when blocked, you will usually still be able to edit your user talk page, as well as email administrators and other editors.

For information on how to proceed, please read the FAQ for blocked users and the guideline on block appeals. The guide to appealing blocks may also be helpful.

'''''Inn for Trouble''''' is a 1960 black and white British [[comedy film]] directed by [[C. M. Pennington-Richards|C.M. Pennington-Richards]] and starring [[Peggy Mount]], [[David Kossoff]] and [[Leslie Phillips]].<ref name="BFIsearch">((Cite web |title=Inn for Trouble |url=https://collections-search.bfi.org.uk/web/Details/ChoiceFilmWorks/150039656 |access-date=5 December 2023 |website=British Film Institute Collections Search))</ref> It was a spin-off of the 1950s [[ITV (TV network)|ITV]] sitcom ''[[The Larkins (1958 TV series)|The Larkins]].'' The film is notable for the final credited appearances of [[Graham Moffatt]] and [[A. E. Matthews]].

==Plot==

The Larkin family takes over a run-down country [[Pub|public house]], "The Earl Osbourne". The pub has a resident young French artist, Yvette. Meanwhile a property developer wants to buy the pub to knock it down to build a brand new "roadhouse" instead. He sends his nephew Percy to investigate.

The family's efforts to rejuvenate business are impeded by the long-standing tradition of free beer being distributed by the local Earl. They try to trick people in with the same promise of free beer. Meanwhile Percy Pirbright continually tries to catch the pub out by dragging the local policeman along to observe alleged breaches of the law, without success.

A natural spring erupts in the cellar causing a flooding problem. However, they are finally offered a generous £20,000 for the pub and they also sell the formula for their own beer, the secret ingredient being the spring water.

==Critical reception==
''Kine Weekly'' called ''Inn for Trouble'' and the Brian Rix farce [[And the Same to You|''And The Same to You'']] (1960) the most popular British double bill at the British box office in 1960.<ref>((cite magazine|url=https://archive.org/details/sim_kine-weekly_1960-12-15_523_2776/page/n7/mode/1up|last=Billings|first=Josh|magazine=Kine Weekly|date=15 December 1960|page=8|title=It's Britain 1, 2, 3 again in the 1960 box office stakes))</ref>

''[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]]'' wrote: "Peggy Mount inevitably dominates this episodic and protracted farce, despite extremely variable material and the slenderest of story lines. Though the general standard of humour is feeble, the film may still prove acceptable to the TV series' doubtless loyal public. A. E. Matthews and Irene Handl have little to do, and Graham Moffatt reappears after what seems like years in order to play a moronic Boy Scout. "<ref>((Cite journal |date=1 January 1960 |title=Inn for Trouble |url=https://www.proquest.com/docview/1305822920/98EA2CCDC80249CCPQ/1 |journal=[[The Monthly Film Bulletin]] |volume=27 |issue=312 |pages=53 |via=ProQuest))</ref>

In ''British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959'' [[David Quinlan (film critic)|David Quinlan]] rated the film as "mediocre", calling it a: "home-made farce, broad in humour."<ref>((Cite book |last=Quinlan |first=David |title=British Sound Films: The Studio Years 1928–1959 |publisher=[[Batsford Books|B.T. Batsford Ltd.]] |year=1984 |isbn=0-7134-1874-5 |location=London |pages=327))</ref>

[[Leslie Halliwell]] said: "Amiable extension of a popular TV series."<ref>((Cite book |last=Halliwell |first=Leslie |title=Halliwell's Film Guide |publisher=Paladin |year=1989 |isbn=0586088946 |edition=7th |location=London |pages=514))</ref>

''The [[Radio Times]] Guide to Films'' gave the film 2/5 stars, writing: "This movie spin-off from ''The Larkins'', the popular sitcom of the late 1950s, moved the family away from 66 Sycamore Street and into a country pub, and that's where the problems begin. One of the series' great strengths was its portrait of a typical urban neighbourhood, populated by familiar characters. A whole new world had to be created here, however, with only Pa and Ma (David Kossoff and Peggy Mount) and Eddie (Shaun O'Riordan) providing continuity. Even the presence of Leslie Phillips and Charles Hawtrey can't make up for the general lifelessness."<ref>((Cite book |title=Radio Times Guide to Films |publisher=[[Immediate Media Company]] |year=2017 |isbn=9780992936440 |edition=18th |location=London |pages=465))</ref>
