  • Carry On Camping (1969)
    Aug 25 2024

    And so our Carry On journey comes to an end with Carry On Camping, arguably the most iconic offering of the entire franchise.

    Hattie Jacques is back, which means our first; "Oooh Maaaatron". The rest of the regular cast is also in attendance for an innuendo-laden laugh fest. Expect Sid James staring at arses, Barbara Windsor's top flying off, and some good old-fashioned hippy bashing.

    This is Guy's pick to round us off and although we've only managed a mere 3 of 31, Carry On BritCom Goes to the Movies has seen the perfect cross-section of the collection. Go out and watch some more, we'll see you in the autumn for series 3 of BritCom Goes to the Movies!

  • Carry On Screaming (1966)
    Aug 24 2024

    There is no let-off this bank holiday as we hit you with another Carry On straight away.

    This time it's Rob's pick. Critic and hipster's choice, Carry On Screaming. It's a Hammer Horror Homage but without the scariest cast member Sid James, replaced to great effect by Harry H Corbett.

    There's low budget scares, laughs, and uncredited session musician's theme tunes galore.

    Will Rob still rate Screaming as his favourite on second viewing and will Guy enjoy only his second ever Carry On? Join us to find out.

  • Carry On Abroad (w/ Andy Clarke)
    Aug 23 2024

    While we wait for series three in the autumn, here's a bank holiday treat of a mini-series. What better way to spend a bank holiday weekend than with British comedy institution Carry On?

    Over the next three days, Rob and Guy scratch the surface of the comedy behemoth, choosing one film from the massive back catalogue each.

    We start our series of three with a choice from our guest. TV's Andy Clarke. Writer, presenter and Carry On fanatic. Who better to make our first pick and provide some expert analysis? (particularly for Guy, who'd inexplicably never before seen a Carry On)

    Andy kicks us off with Carry On Abroad. Widely regarded by fans and critics as the last good Carry On Film and certainly the final one with the bulk of the core cast. James, Williams, Connor, Windsor, Whitfield, Sims and Hawtry make their way to the beautiful resort of El's Bells in "the Med". In lieu of budget though, Pinewood studios must double for an exotic resort.

    Join the three of us for sun, sea and Splendid Kenneth Williams impressions as we Carry On Abroad.
