I have all the Carry On films. Great fun!
[quote=âPhil H, post:44, topic:3484â]Carry On Loving (1970)
I actually enjoyed this one a lot more than I was expecting. Very much in the sex comedy style and a farce by structure yet somehow it had a gentler, more old fashioned Carry On feel to it. The fashions, furniture and interior design of 1970 Britain is also a treat to behold and the jokes all work pretty well. This isnât necessarily a classic but will get a far higher rating than I would have predicted.[/quote]
Imogen Hassall (Jennie Grub in Carry On Loving) was also the Mexican lady in El Condor. She committed suicide at the age of 38. Tragic. 
Did you ever complete the run, Phil? Dick, Behind, England, Emmannuelle, Columbus?
Not yet, no.
I started watching Carry On Dick a while back but the disc crapped out and I was enjoying so little I havenât managed to bring myself to get a new copy. I will complete it but it might take a while yet as there are definitely diminishing returns at this stage of the series.
I have them all except Columbus.
Carry On Girls, Behind, Constable, Matron, Camping and At Your Convenience are my personal favourites. Carry On Cowboy and Up the Khyber are great fun, too.
Forgot how much I love Carry On Again Doctor. They couldnât make comedies as good as these nowadays.
The carry on films for me are a mixed bag. I think itâs fair to say that you have The Good the Bad and the Ugly in terms of quality, but my two favourites are carry on screaming and carry on cleo.
Two new Carry On⌠movies in the pipeline, apparently:

Good idea? Terrible idea?
Doesnât sound like a good idea to me. Iâve only watched, letâs say, 5 percent of the movies, Iâll never get to 10% if they start makeing new movies
It depends on the writing and the cast, but probably not a good idea.
The last few Carry On films were not the best in the series and with most of the original actors dead, it sounds a dud idea to me.
Bad ideaâŚ!!
Donât do a Frankenstein, and attempt to revive something that should be dead and buried.
The last effort - â Carry on Columbusâ (1992) was poo!
According to IMDB, it has a rating of 2.9!
By the way, if any amigos go on to IMDB, and check out this travesty, they can click on âTriviaâ, and learn some very interesting facts about the film. These facts are more interesting that the film!
As for reviving the film franchise,âŚdonât botherâŚ
In 2004, I had a telephone interview with Kenneth Cope, for my local magazine.
Kenneth appeared in âCarry on at your Covenienceâ; and âCarry on Matronâ. As well as the âCarry Onâ films, Kenneth was most probably better known for playing âMarty Hopkirkâ, in âRandall & Hopkirk (Deceased).
I asked him about his experiences of âCarry Onâ.
The actual quotes from Kenneth are packed away in my filesâŚbut - from memory - he said that it would be very difficult to re-vive the âCarry Onâ franchiseââŚif only for the fact that you cannot, nowadays, get the calibre of comedy actor now that you could in the 1960âs - 70âs. He specifically named his wonderful experiences of working with the magnificent Sid James (Ha! Ha! Ha!); and Kenneth Williams etc.
Recently, the BBC announced that it would be re-making several classic comedy sit-com episdes - including âSteptoe & Sonâ; âTill Death Us Do Partâ: âHancockâs Half Hourâ; âPorridgeâ; âAre You Being ServedââŚWHY?
It seems, to me, at least, that these were (and will always be) - shining diamonds of quintessential age of comedyâŚBBC, stop trying to revive the memories of a generationâŚ
Whatever the outcome of both the âCarry Onâ film proposal, and the BBC sitcoms, I think that we can rest assured that the âP.C.â Brigade will BâŚks this up!
Adios, amigosâŚI think Iâll go and stick a favourite âCarry Onâ in the DVD playerâŚjust to re-live the â good old daysââŚ
Loved the Carry On gang as a kid. Most of it thiugh went over my head as a kid watching them.
Indeed. And, as an adult, thereâs so much more to enjoy as well as the double-entendres; the broad, silly nature of the comedy belies some truly magnificent performances, real masterclasses of timing and delivery.
Liked them as a kid, so ,so with most of them these days.
