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.

The BBC puts it like this: Proggy mats were a common sight in working-class homes in the North East of England until the mid-20th Century. Made from old sacks and recycled fabric they were an economical option to keep feet warm and toasty in an era before fitted carpets were the norm. I remember my grandma had proggy mats in her house and I also remember her making them, but I was never interested back then in learning how to make my own. As Ione of my characters in my novel makes proggy mats, I could have read about how to make them or even watched on YouTube, I wanted to discover for myself what the process felt like, smelt like, sounded like. And so I booked myself on to a workshop at Beamish Museum, a place I love to visit. There were six of us on the proggy mat workshop...
