A double booked holiday villa in Portugal with a tipsy travel rep who can't tell one irate couple from the other is the perfect recipe for a madcap farce.

A young couple, Leslie and Eve, arrive first and are mistaken for domestic staff when Henry and Mary turn up.  When both couples realise that they have both booked the villa for the same week, the pompous Henry thinks he has the moral high ground because the other couple are not man and wife.

So is Henry married to Mary?  Well, not according to his mother in law, Celia... or to his wife, Kit... both of whom turn up in hot pursuit.

Everyone gets caught up in the resulting melee, including a silly ass type called Perky.  And in the middle of it all, the travel rep, Commander 'Chitto' Chittenden tries to keep order but only sinks further into alcoholic confusion.

Holiday Snap is a good old traditional British farce by two masters of the genre which was well received by our audiences.
