As some of you may be aware, I started a full rewatch of the Carry On films at the start of this year. I’m still ploughing (snigger) through them, even though I am behind on reviews by 5 films – I’ve reached the halfway point of the series and will continue over the next few months.
Now, there’s a few fellow fans out there in #MTOS land, as we discovered when I included it last year in a poll of potential topics. It was only a matter of time before a full topic about the series came up (giggle).
So, join me this Sunday at the usual time of 8pm UK time as we chat about innuendo laden scripts and Babs’ bikini.
Q1: How old were you when you were first introduced to the Carry On series? What were your initial thoughts? #MTOS
Q2: The first 6 films (Sergeant, Nurse, Teacher, Constable, Regardless and
Cruising) were written by Norman Hudis, with the rest by Talbot Rothwell. Do you have any favourites from Hudis’ era,
and was there a difference in style when Rothwell took over? #MTOS
Q3: With 31 films in the series, the Carry On team pretty much tackled a lot of
areas of comedy. Which three films do
you consider the series’ strongest, either in terms of laughs, or in terms of
general production? #MTOS
Q4: The series, as well as the general farce approach, often lampooned other popular genre films. Did you prefer this approach over the ‘seaside holiday’ aspect the series often took too? #MTOS
Q5: Now the series has its knockers (snigger), and with good reason. Which films in the series let the whole thing down, and are likely responsible for the negative views many have towards it? #MTOS

Which members of the cast were most enjoyable on screen and why? #MTOS
Q7: Along with the regulars, quite a substantial number of British thesps and comics cropped up for 1 or 2 outings. Which faces would you have loved to have seen more of in the film series? #MTOS
Q8: It is often said that the films are a product of their era, and that style of comedy couldn’t be done today. But is that true, and would you be excited by the prospect of a new entry into the series today? #MTOS
Q9: As well as the film series, there was a 13 episode TV series. Have you watched any of these, and were they good or bad entries into the franchise? #MTOS
Q10: You have a (small) budget to make a new Carry On film. What is the setting? Who would you cast today? Any director and writer in mind who would handle the work well? Should Babs pop up in a cameo? You know the drill…. #MTOS
