The result isCarry On England, and the sex is indeed pretty mixed, although the drafting in of Patrick Mower and Judy Geeson rather demonstrates the need for at least some of the cast to be attractive in order to make this premise feasible. For the most part, of course, it's tits-out sex-comedy slapstick all the way, but there's a nicely ambivalent performance from Kenneth Connor, who portrays the wartime British officer class as being pretty much bonkers, a telling interpretation which Stephen Fry was to perfect years later inBlackadder Goes Forth. The location is of course typicallyCarry Oncheap-and-cheerful, but its inevitable drabness, together with the indistinguishable khaki uniforms, tends to put a bit of a damper on the adult-panto atmosphere which the bestCarry Onsdeliver. The cast commendably manage to transcend this, though, so there's still plenty of fun to be had.On the DVD:The feature is presented in 1.77:1 aspect ratio, but the disc has no added features.--Roger Thomas

that a beauty contest would be the perfect place for the Carry On team to discover new heights of hilarity and new depths of depravity - well you'd be right! Sidney Fiddler brings a beauty contest to a quiet seaside resort. His problems start with two curvaceous Hells Angels Miss Easy Rider and Miss Dawn Brakes. There's Major Bumble Bernard Bresslaw as Britain's first drag beauty queen and last but not least Mrs Angel Prodworthy who is fighting on behalf of Women's Lib. Carry On Dick: Notorious outlaw Dick Turpin (More commonly referred to as Big Dick) is running rings around King George's Bow Street runners. Can the half-witted Captain Desmond Fancey Sir Roger Daley and Sergeant Jock Strapp succeed in bringing the wily rogue to justice? Sid James and the rest of the 'Carry On' gang are having a ball and everyone is invited merry England was never merrier. Carry On England: Make love not war! The Carry On team are part of an experimental mixed anti-aircraft battery during World War II. The Luftwaffe never had it so easy! Recruits ready (Jack Douglas) Willing (Judy Geeson) and Able (Patrick Mower) join forces to strike terror into the heart of the enemy and run rings round their pompous captain S. Melly (Kenneth Connor). Discover where Churchill's famous Victory sign originated from in this classic khaki caper: patriotism has never been funnier! Carry On Behind: Archaelogists Professors Anna Vooshka (Elke Sommer) and Roland Crump (Kenneth Williams) are desparate to begin poking round the remains of a Roman encampment.

All the usual Carry On crew are at hand to fuel the 'in-tents' humour!

By 1975 the series was on its last legs with this almost the final nail in the coffin, Carry On Emmanuelle would come 3 years later but apart from an attempt to revive the series in the nineties with Carry On Columbus that was it. For starters Sid James has passed on and Kenneth Williams was becoming tired of the series without these two stars of the series it was left to Kenneth Connor and Joan Sims to make an appearence for the old guard. Patrick Mower and Judy Geeson took the parts that Jim Dale and Angela Douglas may have had ten years before Windsor Davies,Peter Butterworth and Jack Douglas all made an appearence and Diane Langton was the obvious replacement for Barbara Windsor
The plot of a mixed sex division of the Army was weak to the say the least the jokes creaked and nobody really seems to be putting any sort of effort in believe me its just not worththe effort. However if you are a collector of the series then you might just push yourself to purchase this
