...is nothing like a good Carry On either on a Sunday afternoon or over a Bank Holiday weekend. This has to be one of my favourites from the Carry On films because it is taking history and making it funny that appeals to most ages. The Plot = We begin the film by watching the be-heading of one of his wives and just as she has the chop, Henry runs off to the chapel to marry his next one, Marie. As Henry is about to bed his new queen, he gets ...

Advantages: Great performances all round
Disadvantages: None as such

Carry On Again Doctor(1969) is, in my own opinion, the funniest of the medical Carry On's. There is more structure to the plot than there was in Carry On Nurse (1958) or Carry On Doctor (1968) and the film being divided into three sections works well as there really feels as though there is a beginning, middle and end of a story. Most of the same actors that were used in Doctor (1967) crop up in this entry with some playing almost identical characters. ...

...the best endings in a Carry On film, firmly holding onto that fine, feel-good spirit which would slowly dissolve from here on. The cast are all on usual form, though Peter Butterworth and Hattie Jaques are perharps the best players here. 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

Advantages: One of the best loved of the carry on films
Disadvantages: Some of the saucy seaside humour seems dated

...favourite films of all time. Carry on up the Khyber is one of the best loved of the "Historical" Carry ons. It is also a film that will have me laughing no matter how bad a day ive had.
