Well, watched The Rebel, recently shown on TPTV and although it was funnier than I remember (especially Irene Handl "D'yer wanna a bit a cake?" )**, I still prefer The Punch and Judy Man - I think the fact it is in B&W reminds me more of HHH and my childhood, which is probably why.
Just a little observation - I'd forgotten that one of my fave actors, Mervyn Johns was in it briefly.
** And Mario Fabrizi, always makes me laugh, in a brief appearance as the coffee bar owner, and didn't recognise Oliver Reed or Jean Marsh as two of the beatnik artists
