...colourised films included, which to a die hard B+W film lover was a shocking concept, but I must admit it was great to see the boys in the digitised colour versions of all of their classic films. My advice to all the L+H fans out there is to grab a boxset while they are available and give yourselves a treat. ... Read review

Advantages: Is one of the best Carry On's
Disadvantages: None as such

Carry On Abroad truly encapsulates the feel-good spirit that made the films such an enduring success.

They make an almost Laurel and Hardy kind of duo and Jaques in particular is an unusual role, playing a Spanish, downtrodden and seemingly demented cook. The rest of the cast certainly get their moments including ... Read review
