Restoration of Carry On Camping


Gone for a Pee indeed! There's nothing better than a 'Carry On' film for lower IVth form innuendos.

The 'Carry on' films were, and are, a British Institution. Here are a few of the regulars, doing what they did best.

  1. N.B. If you wish to annoy me, or try to make out that the 'Carry On' films were sexist, non-PC, anti-woke, scurrilous, propaganda, that is harmful to children; then please go elsewhere. I've had enough for one day. I want a peaceful life.

    1. You "want a peaceful life", Cro. That is to be respected. However, considering it's a blog, a public space, inviting people to comment, what do you expect when you bring up a controversial subject?

    2. PS My comment above with reference to today's earlier post you took down.

      On Carry On films I have no view. They were before my time and, if it kills me, I shan't say a word. Other than that Barbara Windsor was an absolute gem in that famous pub in the East End.

    3. Look, at the top of my page is says that I offer 'The interesting, the unusual, and the amusing'. It says nothing about inviting conflict or annoying nonsensical opinions. When I write something vaguely amusing about 'conspiracy theorists' I don't expect to be lambasted and criticised. The problem is that certain people have absolutely no sense of effing humour, which is what this page is based upon!

  2. I am saddened to see that you took the previous post down. I just came back to see if YP had answered Ursula's question. Did he?

    1. I worked with Bernard Bresslaw's brother in 1969. He said Bernard was a very serious and sensitive person in real life. Odd that.

    2. I always loved BB's acting, but he must have hated being typecast as a bumbling dim-wit.

    3. His brother hated it for sure.

    Well said

    1. I love them too. They represent a very specific age in British comedy film history.

  4. There's a lot of judgementality around, Benny Hill is another that attracts it, and several bloggers.

    1. I had a friend who worked on BH's show... he was a bit odd!

  5. I loved the Carry On films - they were of their time - good only slightly rude humour

    1. Very much of their time, and filled with wonderful actors/actresses.

  6. "Carry On Blogging" might be next in the "Carry On" series. I would like Sid James to play me even though he died in 1976.

  7. I had to watch it a second time to get it. I knew the key was to do with what was on the board but I missed it the first time.

    1. Very junior humour, but that's what we liked about the 'Carry On' films.

  8. Light humor and funny. Everybody needs a good laugh once in a while.

  9. People ought to stick to commenting on the post, instead of attacking in the comments. My gosh.

    I enjoyed the giggle, Cro.

    1. If only, Debby. I'm afraid I get it all the time. Mostly from the same people!

    2. Every one needs a good laugh from to time. Us Brits do it in in a different way to you Americans Debby. I wasn't attacking YP if that is what you are suggesting here. I was extracting the Michael. Keeps him grounded.

  10. I remember the Carry On movies, I think my dad must have seen every single one, which meant I did too. I should look them up and get a few laughs again.

    1. I'm sure I must have seen all of them too. They still turn-up on TV. Good family entertainment.

  11. You have a wonderful view out that window! I'd be gazing out instead of getting my work done!

  12. Who could ever forget the likes of Bernard Breslaw's 'Bungdit-Din', Sid James' 'Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond', or 'Sir Rodney Ffing', Kenneth Williams' 'Khasi of Kalabar', or Charles Hawtrey's 'Private Widdle'?
    The Carry On films were so wonderfully, innocently rude, and perfectly English in their humour, brilliant stuff!
    I can still do a very good 'Frying tonight' as Fenella Fielding's 'Valeria Watt'!
    Oh I so wish I had Fenella Fielding's glorious voice!
