The Best Pair of Legs in the Business was also released as The Best Pair of Legs in Town. The story is set at a British holiday caravan park. Reg plays the resident compere and drag artist. It is about how his life revolves around the need to perform even though it is a dreary caravan park. An entertainer at the end of his career but who tries to kid himself he can return to the big time. It is about having hope when there is no hope.
