Can't believe I am watching this !

Sometimes I watch old stuff like Carry On. Yes so bad but strangely enjoyable and when you’re not feeling well that’s just the ticket

I wasn’t a big fan, but I loved Carry on Up the Khyber!

Yes, the Carry Ons are appallingly sexist,corny,vulgar and downright crude but they're an effortlessly entertaining and light alternative to the deluge of intense psycho-thriller dramas we're bombarded with when everyone stands about looking po-faced,serious,miserable,gritty and trying to be dramatic but IMHO only coming across as laughable.

"Line of Duty" is a dreary example of the above.

So God bless the Carry Ons and their ability to give us a cheap and cheerful laugh when we bloody well need it!

Love them! Every bank holiday, they run them back to back.

Sergeant is my favourite, then Khyber, Cleo, Camping and Convenience. I love how dashing Bernard Bresslaw was in Khyber. Usually he was just a big, dumb stooge to Sid James but he's dark and eye-flashingly handsome in Khyber. Bungdit Din.

This Mem off for a spot of tiffin.....

Are any/many of the Carry On cast still alive? I couldn't understand how any woman could have ever been attracted to Sid James

I love them and so do my family.

As said, got the lergy (lurgy?) and watching any old on telly.

Carry on Camping - honestly!?! But just can't stop, it is soooooo bad.

Right second time - it is indeed lurgy.

Thanks, thought so. Sent an e-mail to a friend whose spelling is usually spot on, and she wrote 'lergy, so wondered.

I just love Carry on Constable

“Lergy” sounds like an abbreviation of “allergy” and would presumably be pronounced in a similar way, whereas the “g” in lurgy is hard

My fave is "Carry On Henry". Certainly totally devoid of historical accuracy and Terry Scott as Cardinal Wolsey is a complete hoot!

Re. * Sid James* that laugh …love them or loath them he and the other cast members had unique voices that you could recognise instantly, blindfolded. Ok they were typecast but so many actors sound the same now and there is so very little daft comedy to be had anymore

What quite shocked me tonight, if that the 2 guys are old men- lusting after young girls. Never noticed it before.

Love the Carry Ons.

Met Bernard Bresslaw in the 60s. He was gorgeous. Really nice and friendly too.

I think Jim Dale is the last one still alive.

Oo yes, Constable is a favourite too. I love when the policemen are all marched out to their beats. So many of them!!

Yes Fleurpepper I know what you mean just..🤮 …similarly On TheBuses, but the past really was a different country and I wouldn’t even attempt to explain or watch any with my Grandchildren or even my children or in fact anyone aged under 50 🫣

Carry on Cleo and Carry On Screaming were my favourites.

I used to love them all and especially the two early b/w ones Constable (so innocent) and Teacher (heart warming). A very young Richard O'Sullivan was one of the children and Leslie Phillips was leering all over Joan Sims but luckily she felt the same.

Later favourites were Screaming, Cleo, Cowboy, Camping and Khyber. All very raunchy, racist and everything else, but you could be as politically incorrect as you liked back then.

I loved the Joan Sims characters, usually the nagging wife and she was so wonderful in the role!

Favourite line: Fenella Fielding lying on the couch saying 'Do you mind if I smoke?' in Carry on Screaming. The expression on her face was just priceless.

"Infamy, Infamy, They've all got in for me".

Kenneth Williams "Carry on Cleo".

I have the lurgy too and been enjoying the Carry On Films. Carry on Camping and Carry on Matron yesterday made me laugh.

It’s comedy and just like the Black and White Minstrels and many others it’s an anachronism. Replaced by ultra violent and abusive language we see on mainstream films and pornography online today, in my opinion the material more damaging than in the past, but society in general finds it acceptable.

I enjoy the Carry on films, they seem rather innocent by 2022 film standards.

(I also really love the old Doris Day films, so corny but…)

Can’t believe anybody is watching these who doesn’t enjoy the Carry on series.
It’s not as if there is nothing else on. So far since coming home on Tuesday -and because all my friends and neighbours seem to be still away- I have watched Knives Out, Glass Onion, a couple of episodes of Emily in Paris and the “special” editions of Only Connect and Christmas (graduate) University Challenge. Not to mention the excellent Royal Institution Christmas lectures.

Yesterday I watched Whisky Galore which was an old, easy watching story without the sexism of the Carry On films.
I also watched South Pacific. I love the music but it is rather racist.
