Keep it Up Downstairs is a British sex comedy film that was released in 1976. It was directed by Robert Young and written by Jeremy Lloyd and Ronald Chesney. The movie is set in Edwardian era England and revolves around the exploits of the staff and residents of the aristocratic Hampton Court Palace. The palace has been converted into a hotel and is now run by the sexually repressed Lady Buckering, who is desperate to win the favor of the visiting royalty.

The main character in the film is a young footman named Albert played by Jack Wild. Albert is a cheeky and mischievous lad who is forever getting himself into trouble. He is constantly on the lookout for opportunities to engage in sexual escapades with the various maids and ladies of the palace.

One of his main conquests is a young chambermaid named Polly, played by Sue Longhurst. Polly is a shy and innocent girl who is besotted with Albert. She is forever trying to get his attention and dreaming of being with him.

Another character in the film is a handsome young aristocrat named Lord "Bungo" Fotheringay-Phipps, played by Mark Singleton. Bungo is a bit of a playboy who is always getting into scrapes with the ladies. He is also one of the people tasked with entertaining the visiting royalty.

The film is filled with a series of hilarious misadventures involving the various characters and their sexual exploits. There are numerous scenes of comic nudity and sexual innuendo, as well as several full-blown sex scenes.

Throughout the movie, Lady Buckering is constantly preoccupied with impressing the visiting royalty. She goes to great lengths to ensure that everything runs smoothly, including requiring the staff to wear special uniforms and forbidding them from engaging in any inappropriate behavior.

Despite her efforts, however, things start to go awry when the visiting royalty arrives. The various characters get caught up in a series of outrageous hijinks, including Albert getting stuck in a wardrobe while trying to spy on the ladies, and Bungo ending up in bed with the queen herself.

Keep it Up Downstairs is a classic example of a British sex comedy from the 1970s. It is undoubtedly politically incorrect by today's standards, with its over-the-top sexual humor and bawdy gags. However, it is also a product of its time, and provides a fascinating glimpse into the attitudes and values of the era.

Overall, Keep it Up Downstairs is a light-hearted and enjoyable romp that will appeal to fans of British sex comedies and anyone looking for a bit of escapist entertainment. While it may not be to everyone's taste, it is a fun and silly movie that will leave viewers laughing and feeling a bit naughty.
