		As usually described, it involved the victim being forced to walk off the end of a wooden plank or beam extended over the side of a ship, thereby falling into the water, to drown, sometimes encouraged by bound hands, and/or in shark-infested waters (these predators often follow a ship).
		WWE Wrestler Paul Birchill, who protrays a pirate as his gimmick, performs a move he has come to call "Walking The Plank." The move is a variations of a Standing-moonsault Slam.

	BBC - Comedy Guide - The Plank
		Master of comedy Eric Sykes explored the visual side of humour to great effect in The Plank, which he wrote (and also directed) almost entirely without dialogue: it principally comprised mime, slapstick, effects and clever ideas.
		'Sykes And A Plank', with full dialogue, was screened in 1964 as part of his ongoing BBC series, with Hattie Jacques in the main assistant's role.
		This was followed by a 54-minute film made for the cinema in 1967 - this time with partial dialogue, again directed by Sykes, produced by Jon Penington - which featured an equally all-star cast for the period and Tommy Cooper as the principal support.

		The gags are so obvious, and are set up so far in advance, and are executed as precisely as you expected, that not only can you not understand why everybody's enjoying themselves; but you get the feeling that you are not watching a comedy, but a lecture in the mechanics of comedy theorems.
		While the leads are sympathetic in their passivity, the jokes and slapstick are so old, corny and uninventive, stolen from hundreds of better 20s comedies.
		Men get splattered by paint, hit by the plank, are run into a pond etc. The one genuinely funny sequence is when the great Wilfred Hyde-White tries to cross a busy road and his walking-stick is broken.

		One of the better installment in the Death on Demand mystery series, "Death Walks the Plank" was just what I needed to unwind with -- it was a light and swiftly paced read, intriguing and yet incredibly amusing as well.
		While Murder Walks the Plank is part of an ongoing series, it has the capability of standing alone at the same time that it awakens curiosity toward, what may be for some, previously unexplored tomes.
		Characters such as the indomitable Annie with a mind that holds an eternal fount of mystery-book-garnered knowledge, her doting and indulgent husband, and her author friend whose attitude is just as overly-confident, demanding and often-annoying as the protagonist in her own novels pull the reader inexorably into the depths of don`t-stop-`til-the-last-page readability.
