Confessions of a Driving Instructor - 1976 - This was one of a series of British sex comedies (some might say soft-porn comedies) made around that time and put on general release. This particular one concerned a driving instructor and his mainly bored-housewife pupils, but culminates in a car chase between his driving instruction car and the Bentley belonging to the irate father of one of his lady friends. As they hurtle down the road a pipe band appears from the other direction marching in the middle of the road, causing the cars to pass one either side at high speed. The speed of the pass is such that the pipers' kilts are all torn off by the slipstream and they are seen (from behind) marching into the distance with nothing but jock straps (sports supports) between the tops of their hose and the bottom of their doublets. This sets the taste and level of humor which runs throughout the film. The band involved is referred to in the credits as The Caledonian Highlanders. This however is a cover name used by Pipe Major Willie Cochran and Bob Murphy for bands they put together for jobs through their entertainment agency. They used many pipers from the London area for cabaret and television work but on this occasion hired the Stevenage Pipe Band to do the work. Cochrane and Murphy also appeared.
