The men's surgical ward of the Haven Hospital is staffed by an energetic nursing team under the watchful eye of Matron. Their suty time is taken up not only with nursing, but in attempting to control the riotous "shower" of patients who are always up to some prank or other. They also have to contend with the amorous advances of the patients! Heath, Paul (12 April 2017). "Exclusive Interview: Jonathan Sothcott for We Still Steal The Old Way". The Hollywood News.

Two Brits—inventor Hengist Pod, and Horse, a brave and cunning fighter—are captured and enslaved by invading Romans and taken to Rome. One of their first encounters in Rome leaves Hengist being mistaken for a fighter, and gets drafted into the Royal Guard to protect Cleopatra. Carry On Cowboy (1965) Network re released Bless This House on Blu Ray. That was released with the film shown in the correct theatrical aspect ratio ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nzj1GgEkgwE&t=2097s ) Also note how it contains the BBFC rating, before the film starts. It is like being at the cinema . The DVD release (prior to the Network release) was a 4:3 pan and scan. But recently, HD masters of Nurse, Cruising. Spying& Teacher turned up on Sky Cinema (UK). The sum of all these masters amount to less than half of them, with couple of the series not even available in widescreen, as well as existing on (possibly) 30-40 year old transfers.

So whether these companies have access to “copies” of the original, I’m not sure. In the song Some Girls Are Bigger Than Others by The Smiths, one of the lines is "As Anthony said to Cleopatra, as he opened a crate of ale, oh, I say", making reference to Carry on Cleo. Carry On Dallas (1980), a spoof of the popular American soap opera Dallas was pursued in 1980. A script was written and casting offers made to Williams, Connor, Douglas, Sims, Windsor, Hawtrey and Dale. The production was abandoned when Dallas production company Lorimar Productions demanded a royalty fee of 20 times the total production budget. [12] Well I would think a more detailed picture would be better. Yes, obviously, a load of the appeal will be in the films being amusing, but that doesn't mean that it won't be nice to see a more detailed picture. If I do decide to get them sometime, I just hope that they've been done properly. Besides, why have a DVD resolution upscaled to 1080p when you can have 1080p resolution with Blu-ray?

That Mitchell and Webb Look features the sketch "Bawdy 1970s Hospital", which portrays a stereotypical Carry On-style hospital with frequent use of double entendre, except by one doctor who has trouble fitting in as he comes out with simple obscenity, unable to understand the distinction. The sinister Dr Watt has an evil scheme going. He's kidnapping beautiful young women and turning them into mannequins to sell to local stores. Fortunately for Dr Watt, Detective-Sergeant Bung is on the case, and he doesn't have a clue! In this send up of the Hammer Horror movies, there are pastiches of all the horror greats from Frankenstein to Dr Jekyll and Mr Hyde. This is impressive stuff from Studio Canal. Carry on Screaming looks incredible in hi-def. The image is sharp and film-like, nicely textured with authentic grain – a couple of spikes dotted about, but still very faithful - and a true sense of visual depth, colours that are gorgeously presented and detail that brings the picture to life like the lightning bolt that resuscitates the long-mummified Rubbatiti from his sarcophagus. In The Spitting Image Book, released in 1985, there is a reference to a fictitious made-for-TV film entitled Carry On Up the Rectum, satirising the transparency of the puns used for Carry On Up the Khyber and possibly Carry On Up the Jungle. [35]A film had appeared in 1957 under the title Carry On Admiral; although this was a comedy in similar vein (and even featured Joan Sims in the cast) it has no connection to the Carry On series itself. The much earlier 1937 film Carry On London is also unrelated (though it coincidentally starred future Carry On performer Eric Barker). The Carry On gang strikes again – this time in the bold, brave days of the Armada, a time when countries were judged by their strength at sea, and men by their naval heroism! Containing the ninth to twelfth editions in the long-running series, Carry On Collection 3 will be issued by Australian distributor Via Vision on 8th November. ITV companies did too, even later shows well into the 70s. I'm not sure if it was most of the material, but a lot. The Carry On series contains the largest number of films of any British film franchise, and is the second longest running, albeit with a 14-year gap (1978–1992) between the 30th and 31st entries. (The James Bond film series is the longest-running, having started in 1962, four years after the first Carry On, though with fewer films.)

Very sad, though. I really enjoyed these. If Indicator can release the Stanley Long box set (which I understand is in a similar vein to Carry On), then I was hoping for these to be released. An intended sub-sequel to the successful Carry On Nurse was renamed and made as Carry On Doctor in 1967. [14] Carry On Nurse was alluded to twice in Carry On Doctor, firstly with the sub-titles (one reading Nurse Carries On Again and Death of a Daffodil), and again in a later scene with Frankie Howerd commenting on a vase of daffodils in his hospital room. A second attempt at Carry On Again Nurse came in 1979, after the series left Rank Films and moved to Hemdale. A completed script had been written by George Layton [15] and Jonathan Lynn in 1977, but the attempt was cancelled due to the financial loss of Carry On Emmannuelle. The chances of a box-set of them all coming out is almost nil. Aside from the ones on Blu in the UK, HD masters currently exist for Carry on Camping and Carry On Up the Khyber - both exclusively restored for streaming service Britbox.For six years Sergeant Grimshawe has been a training sergeant but never the proud leader of a Star Squad. He accepts a bet from another sergeant that in the next intake, his last before retirement, his squad will pass out top. But when he’s lumbered with a motley crew of inductees, Grimshawe suspects he hasn’t a chance of winning the bet. Carry On Nurse (1959) The remainder of the series developed with increased use of the British comic traditions of music hall and bawdy seaside postcards. Many titles parodied more serious films, such as their tongue-in-cheek homages to James Bond ( Spying), westerns ( Cowboy), and Hammer horror films ( Screaming!). The most impressive of these was Carry On Cleo (1964), in which the budget-conscious production team made full use of some impressive sets that had been created in 1960 for the Burton and Taylor epic Cleopatra (1963) but abandoned when production moved to Rome. Carry On Emmannuelle, inspired by the soft-porn Emmanuelle, brought to an end the original Carry On run. In The Movies it Doesn't Hurt (1975)". British Film Institute (BFI).
