The Carry On Films

Carry On Cleo is definitely one of the classics of the series and is probably the film with the strongest plot. It begins with the Roman invasion of Britain, led by Julius Caesar (Kenneth Williams) and his trusted friend, Marc Anthony (Sid James). Among the slaves captured and taken back to Rome are struggling inventor Hengist Pod (Kenneth Connor) and his new neighbour, Horsa (Jim Dale).

Following an attempt on Caesar's life, Pod is mistakenly credited with foiling the assasins and made Caesar's bodyguard for among other things, the journey to Egypt and the domain of the beautiful but cunning Cleopatra (Amanda Barrie, right)...

In Carry On Screaming, the Carry On team venture into the world of spoof horror with both creepy and hilarious results.

Sergeant Bung (Harry H Corbett) and his blundering sidekick Constable Slobotham (Peter Butterworth) are investigating a series of mysterious disappearances of young women. When a young man (Jim Dale) swears that a mannequin in a shop window is his missing girlfriend, the resulting line of inquiry eventually leads the pair to the eerie mansion inhabited by Dr Watt (Kenneth Williams) and his beautiful sister Valeria (Fenella Fielding, right) as well as an assortment of other, curious entities...

This film features Dr Kilmore (Jim Dale,) a young doctor at a busy urban hospital, favoured by the patients and the pretty young nurses alike, who is sacked from his job following a misunderstanding and the evil scheming of Dr Tinkle (Kenneth Williams) and Matron (Hattie Jacques).

The patients - who include Bernard Bresslaw, Frankie Howerd, Sid James and Charles Hawtrey - determine to right the wrong and get Dr Kilmore reinstated. Look out Dr Tinkle and Matron, there is mischief afoot...

Without a doubt, Carry On Camping is one of the best and funniest of all the Carry On Films.

Sid Boggle (Sid James) and Bernie Lugg (Bernard Bresslaw) take their somewhat innocent girlfriends to the Paradise Campsite (mistaking it for a nudist camp that they saw in a film) in the hope that it will lower their inhibitions. What they find instead is a muddy field, devoid of all facilities bar a small wash-house. Their fellow campers, however, include a group of girls from "Chayste Place" Finishing School, among whom is Babs (Barbara Windsor, right,) the Potters on their annual camping holiday which Mr Potter (Terry Scott) always "loves" and of course the girls' school's responsible adults, Dr Soaper (Kenneth Williams) and the woman besotted with him, Miss Haggard (Hattie Jacques).

A whole host of comical episodes result from this mixed group's interactions, culminating when a group of hippies arrive to hold an all night rave in the next field.

When Doctor Nookey (Jim Dale) falls foul of the administrators at the hospital where he works once too often, he is sent on a posting to a remote and extremely inhospitable tropical island. He meets Gladstone Screwer (Sid James) who introduces him to a remarkable slimming potion, made by the natives.

Nookey soon returns to Britain armed with a supply of this potion and sets up a clinic, achieving remarkable and virtually overnight success. But his former colleagues are soon investigating his activities and when Screwer turns up to pay a visit, confusion and hilarity soon reign.

Hattie Jacques rules with an iron rod at Finisham Maternity Hospital in what is effectively the title role of this movie. When Sid James and his inept gang of crooks muscle in, however, intent on securing a supply of birth control pills for sale overseas, slapstick humour abounds.

The early days of the foreign package holiday sees the Carry On team on a weekend trip to Spain. The fun starts when they arrive at their hotel near the village of "Ells Bells," to find it still very much under construction...
