The Spare Tyres is a 1967 British short comedy film directed by Michael J. Lane and featuring Terence Alexander, Judy Franklin, Pauline Yates, and Frank Finlay.[1] It was written by Donald Churchill.
Dennis and his wife move to a new house. Discovering a pair of old tyres in the garden, he spends the rest of the day trying to get rid of them.
The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "Desperately unfunny programme filler, unaccountably revived after ten years on the shelf. The 'humour' is largely a matter of telegraphed sight gags (sample: a runaway milk float is labelled 'U.D.D.A. Dairies'); cast mug, grimace and generally look uncomfortable."[2]
