I love them and so do my family.

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 hmm

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.....

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!

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

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 smile

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.
