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".
Everyone has their favourite Carry On film. Oh go on, yes you do.
Definitely Carry On Screaming - "frying tonight!" - at number one.
ReplyDeleteI also have a soft spot for Carry On Camping and Carry On Up The Khyber...

Camping, Screaming & Spying.
