Come Play With Me (1980): stage farce loosely based on the film, starring Bob Grant from On the Buses. Come Play With Me was filmed during the autumn of 1976. Bovington Manor was in reality the Weston Manor Hotel, near Oxford. Owing to work commitments, Suzy Mandel was absent from the scene that introduces the girls travelling to Bovington Manor onboard a coach (she was taping a Benny Hill episode at the time). After seeing a rough cut of the film, Sullivan and representatives of the distributor Tigon thought the film needed more nudity as well as more Mary Millington, so several additional scenes—including Mary's big scene with Marks' regular Howard "Vanderhorn" Nelson—were filmed. The "add-on" nature of these scenes to the narrative is sometimes apparent.
