Everyone has their favourite Carry On film. Oh go on, yes you do.
My top three favourite Carry On films are, in order of preference: Carry on at your Convenience, Carry on Screaming and Carry On Abroad. What's yours?

Definitely Carry On Screaming - "frying tonight!" - at number one.
I also have a soft spot for Carry On Camping and Carry On Up The Khyber...
Carry on Cabby - I love the (slightly) feminist plot with the female cabbies setting up their own company to rival the fellas, Glamcabs. And Amanda Barrie as a camp cabbie sitting on top of a car doing her lipstick is a great image.
Also Carry on Up The Khyber - another fave bit is when Sid James, Joan Sims et al are eating a very posh dinner whilst the bombs drop all around them and totally ignoring it in best British fashion - very surreal.
"Carry On At Your Convenience" is also my favourite. It featured the fabby Kenneth Cope and also an early appearance from Geoffrey Hughes.
I feel asleep on the couch on Friday night after HIGNFY and completely missed Jonathan Ross (which is what I wanted to stay up for). I was pleasantly surprised to find the aforementioned film playing when I awoke at about 2am.
My other faves are "...Don't Lose Your Head" and "...Follow That Camel".
Camping, Screaming & Spying.
Charles Hawtrey with oversized backpack, tiny shorts and stick-man legs - genius.
