A catastrophe has happened, no tonic! #shorts

Terry Thomas the comic genius of his time is appalled to discover that there is a shortage of tonic!! A catastrophe that can not be forgiven. #shorts

"GO, before I strike you", delivered with supressed rage and aplomb "
I can't think of a comic actor more capable of extracing maximum humour from these lines .

A cad, a bounder and a jolly rotten scoundrel! Terry Thomas you're sadly missed!

[bennyhannover]

Loved him in his Jeep Station Wagon 1962 It‘‘s a mad, mad, mad world 😂👍

[geneawisea]

Goddamn he was Hysterical, used to make me laugh everytime

[caseyself]

I'm a southern man but I'm of English blood family in Lincolnshire and Kent and I can say brilliant man Terry Thomas. We shall toast to your greatness in heaven sir

I saw him in a movie once where he had a courier case handcuffed to his wrist. Of course, the bad guys wanted it but could not get it off of him. One said, "Let's cut if off!" and TT says, "I beg your pardon?" I've forgotten most of the movie, but that one exchange and his outrage at the impropriety of cutting off his arm - still cracks me up. It has crept into my vocabulary and popped out at the oddest moments.

He was a cornerstone of the British Empire!

[andrewbennett]

A fantastic comedian the loveable rouge brillant

[psychDad]

Loved him as Big Moustache in La Grande Vadrouille. Classic French comedy. France's top grossing movie for 30 years.

[noonsight]

A great entertainer who had a tragic end.

[christophschaffts]

notice how calm he is when he says "are we sinking or something?" and then his face slips

[thesoultwins]

TT was brilliant as Algernon Hawthorne in 'It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World'!

from the film spanish fly with leslie phillips

[alistairmcelwee]

He’s quite right, no tonic, lemons, or gin is a catastrophe! (Member of British Commonwealth here). And it should be Schweppes tonic water.

[kellycalk]

He's Right. I Always drink Gordons Gin and India Tonic. It subdues my brain worms.

[zedhiro]

On the bright side, you could be out of gin.

[i-a-g-r-e-e-----f-----jo--b]

I had a similar moment in my life. It was at this point that I realized I could drink gin straight up.

Adore english accent it' s a 💎🌟🌟🌟🌟🌟

[johnchurch]

The movie is called Spanish Fly, it was around this time that Terry Thomas was suffering from Parkinson’s disease 😢.

If you are an Englishman you may want tonic with your gin but in Scotland the effect is available from Irn Bru.
