The "Carry On" Films

[Bilmo]

The film was "Carry On Again Doctor", where Jim Dale and Peter Gilmore are playing "spot diagnosis". One diagnoses that Peter Butterworth has a slipped disk, the other that he has haemorrhoids. Peter Butterworth said that they were both wrong and that he had thought he was going to break wind, but that he was wrong! A pained look on his face and he waddles off to the gents!



Peter Butterworth was a veteran of Stalag Luft III and was one of the original POWs who helped with the escape using The Wooden Horse; he was one of the vaulters! http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Peter_Butterworth.



Another great "Carry On" caper! Hope that helps!

Peter Butterworth died in Coventry. My mates sister served him breakfast that day. I have never been tempted by one of her fry ups since.

Another good line was Sid's to Hattie Jacques in Carry on Loving -



Sid: "I can't fix them up with the right partners until I find out what they do and how they live.

Hattie: "Mmm, like the young widow at the tobacconists? You must have vetted her at least 50 times"

Sid: "Oh gawd, I only keep going in there for my shag."

[Bilmo]

Joan Sims: "My, but you've got a big one".

Sid James: "I'm from Texas, ma'am, we've all got big ones down there!"



We could start a thread, just about "Carry On" one-liners. I don't think it would ever come to an end!

Which would be fun to read along IF you put a warning: "Careful - don't read with a full mouth!" ha ha



At least I know where you got that audio file!! ha ha

Another scene I liked was in another hospital comedy of the team,where Bernard Bresslaw was dressed as a nurse and as he walked through a female ward,a desperate looking Pat Coombs put her hand up and whispered to "Nurse" Bresslaw. Bresslaw said "Oh,yeah" and got a portable urinal for men to pee into,leaving an exasperated looking Miss Coombs.

My youngest daughter discovered by herself at a very early age Norman Wisdom and Carry On films. Her fav Carry On is "CARRY ON SPYING" 1964. One of the fondest memorys I have is of the look on the out-laws faces as my 3 year old Flossy informed them on leaving thier bathroom too "Give It A Minute" in full Kenneth Williams mode.

One of my favorite lines is from Carry on Cowboy, when Sid James talks about his experience of smoking a pipe of peace. He says "one minute it was peace on, the next it was peace off.

Carry On... Up the Khyber (1968)



I thought I'd let you all my friends know that carry on up the kyber is on tonight on Film4

[Automotivehistorian]

What about CARRY ON SCREAMING where the Vamp, Fenella Fielding, asks Harry H Corbett's Inspector whether he objects to her smoking...and then she does (no flames of passion though)!

You have to go a long way to get better than the 'infamy' line.



But I like one that was from a Carry on Christmas TV special.



I don't remember who the actors were but 'she' wanted to bid farewell to the man she loved. Surname Dripping, rank - Captain.



Leaving the room, his superior officer said to her, "Very well, but don't keep Captain Dripping too long."
