When I was a young TV cameraman back in the first half of the 1970's I was extremely fortunate to meet Sid James in Brisbane. I have never forgotten our meeting he was a true gentle man, gracious, humble and a professional of his craft. Sid James was in Brisbane for a tv promotion and I was his studio floor manager for the one off live tv interview. He was a comedic star of utmost caliber and was very kind to me. I'll never forget him from my career.
I'm so jealous. I'd love to have met him. I know someone else that met him but alas not in the best of circumstances. She was one of the nurses at Sunderland hospital who tried in vain to save his life after his heart attack. A massive loss. I just hope that there is a heaven because I know that when Sid died and entered God's kingdom he Carried On Carrying On. And I can't wait to see him acting again 😀
A brand of humour and entertainment that won't ever be replicated. I grew up on these movies like so many others and still watch them to this day, getting the same laughs as if I'm watching it for the first time! Quality stuff!
I worked on Carry on Camping doing the adr, re recording of dialogue. Joan Sims made me laugh so much I was thrown out the theatre! Loved her. In fact they were a lovely bunch, except for Kenny who could be very moody. I caught him on a bad day so didn’t enjoy his session. But the rest of the gang were lovely! But especially Joan!
Great!...Think i'll be watching a few of the carryons in tribute to my dad who i just lost, we all rolled with laughter growing up with these, Happy Christmas 2019...👏🏻🌟🇬🇧
It’s true . With the older black and white Carry-Ons Joan was almost the early equivalent of Barbara Windsor. Absolutely gorgeous but with a real talent for playing it for laughs at the same time. By The time Babs. got her mojo on, or using her body to “play it for laughs.” And it’s funny because I don’t think she was specially buxom in those days ; or at least no more buxom than any of her other female Carry-On teammates , just the same as Sid James’s dirty old man persona was pretty much an act. He did have a thing for Barbara Windsor though. That bit’s true.
Yeh couldn’t agree more. She was a real star amongst a lot of stars! Shame there was a lot of sadness in her life. Though that again is a theme with most of the Carry On stars.
Sid James and Joan Sims. Brilliance beyond words. I was born in 1973. But sadly I never saw my first Carry On movie till I was in my 20's surprising enough I was just out of hospital recovering from a horse racing accident (I was a jockey at the time). And it had me laughing so hard it hurt my already messed up ribs even more. But I couldn't help but laugh more. These were perfect movies that they'd never get away with making now. More the shame that couldn't make pure perfection like this now
Peter Butterworth was a wartime torpedo bomber pilot who was shot down and captured by the Germans. After three escape attempts he ended up at Stalag Luft III, made famous for The Great Escape, and where he met the writer of the early Carry On films. He was one of the vaulters during the wooden horse escape. However as a budding actor he was rejected by the makers of the film The Wooden Horse as he didn't appear athletic enough.
All these carry on stars were master's of there own craft they made it look so easy and natutral with years of experience behind them.They make it look so easy easy on screen .All the hard work that went into each film.
I can still sit down and have a good laugh at a Carry On film that I've seen hundreds of times before. And what a lovely way to end the program :) Brings a tear to the eye.
Absolutely brilliant, still so funny even after all these years. In my opinion Sid James was the glue that held them together. That dirty laugh! Still watch them regularly.
+voodoo surgeon we did live this way before all the cheats,corruption,Political Correctness health and safety ,and MPs dumbing down our Britishness ,you think back all of them TV programs on TV from 1960 -1980 + would never have been made, the stars Benny hill ,Morecambe and wise , hilda baker,sid james, norman wisdom, george formby , jimmy clitheroe ,tony,hancock,alf garnett steptoe and son ,etc etc etc,all born to entertain us and some from very impoverished backgrounds.now look how these propagandists MPs have overturned the tables with propaganda,the Eton and oxford private schooling system and governments,only there people on television, radio,newspapers .and the poor, old,unemployed and disabled, as entertainment freak shows in there desperation of there needs and necessity just to maintain there poor and unfortunate life .this is great Britain now and will continue and get worse ,unless we all stand up and say enough.
Not many of them left now - we lost June Whitfield and Windsor Davies at the end of last year/January this year, and Fenella Fielding left us this year.
My dad played The Fakir, in Carry On Up the Khyber....... Of course they made the best of his small part in the film, by the classic line.....’’Fakir Off” 😂
Longhaired freaky person from Texas here, and I gotta say that it's just as hard as can be to actually find these movies in the states. I saw Carry On Up The Khyber in high-school, and was hooked. British comedy is just fantastic, and I for one, hope that more of it comes our way.
As someone who only started seeing them after the likes of sid James,hattie j and Peter butterworth had passed away and they had stopped making the films,I'm curious to know what it was like watching these gems in movie theatres in the 60s and 70s. Must have been brilliant and the place full of laughter.
poor Joan Sims wouldnae be happy with the thumbnail for this vid. She was the strongest hidden talent amongst all these unregarded carry-on talents. A really good actress, best of them all.
Absolutely fabulous, true belly laughs, great entertainment and laughter, these are great films, a part of British culture and tradition, there's nothing like it these days, they should be applauded and lauded, a part of my growing up. Sid, Joan, Hattie, Kenneth,Charles and all of you- cheers and thanks for so many smiles.
I love them all but Carry on Screaming is my favourite with Matron, Cleo, Cowboy & Don't Lose Your Head my top. Shame they didn't Carry on but there are so many you can't get bored. Frying tonight!
The carry on movies were made in happier times , and were naughty and innocent at the same time. Each movie was made on a shoe string budget , to a tight schedule . The talented cast which was like a family ,received little money, but seemed to have a thoroughly good time during the production of these classics, which i am sure will remain popular for ever !
Carry on was very special and gave so many people lots and lots of enjoyment and laughter over the years RIP all those magnificent stars that are no longer with us
I couldn't agree more, I've got the collection (minus Columbo.. every cloud has it's silver lining), and I still enjoy watching them, and despite the corny & predictable gags, that's part of the charm, but they still make me laugh, and whenever I'm feeling down and need some cheering up, the Carry On's are the best medicine. I used to watch them on itv, but everytime they put them on itv2, good god they've butchered the films with the stupid & mindless cuts for the most trivial of language (which let's face it, isn't really trivial at all for a carry on), but the PC humourless farts have cut the films to shreds...they may as well show just the starting title and then the end credits and be done with it. Having the collection is great, you can watch them on your terms and for as many times as you like, they were and always will be Great British Comedy Classics. We're proud to be BRITISH!!!!!
@@ajlomas7185 I've also got on the buses on a double disc dvd it only cost me 50p from my local car boot sale. And yes they always cut bits out and it gets on my nerves
The best jokes and bawdy lines ever uttered. I can remember watching them for the third or forth time and finally being mature enough to understand the sexuality of the dialogue. Just made me enjoy them all over again. And I know most of the young women were virtual unknowns, but gosh they were always so beautiful.
i grew up in the 70s in South Africa watching Carry On movies on 16mm projector. i purchased the full set of movies of DVD and my kids who are now in their 20s grew up with the Carry On movies and still enjoy them in 2020. We simply love them.
The other thing was how gorgeous Joan Sims was back in her day. The other queen 👑 of Carry on was of course Hattie . So it's up to you who was the real queen of Carry on.
Absolutely brilliant! Thank you for posting! I hope they decide to do re runs of ALL the ' Carry On' movies before we all die of political consumption!
Screaming, is one of the best ones in my opinion, but it’s one that gets so little press that it’s easy to forget about it. The medical Carry Ons come to mind the most easily but that one should be so much higher in people’s impressions of the series.
🙂 Screaming is my absolute favourite Carry On ever. The bedroom scene with Harry H Corbett transformed into an oddbod werewolf with Joan Sims, still has me in fits of laughter to this day.....closely followed by Up The Khyber
Love all of these will watch them again & again fantastic as have all of them on DVD.Probably a few that I wouldn’t watch as much as the others but I love them all the same.Haven’t really got a fav as they were all very good.I think Bernie Bresslaw was my fav but then they were all so good as they gave us such good memories & great laughter.So sad 😢for all the cast members we have lost.Bet they are all carrying on up there RIP to all those that we have lost ♥️♥️
The Carry Ons and Hanmer are the greatest film exports from here in England! No one does or ever will make a comedy movie series as great as the Carry Ons!
And now ~ bar Babs., Liz. F., Jim D., Les. Phillips & a tiny clutch of 'lesser' characters ~ they're ALL 'gone' & the AWFUL part is that there'll NEVER be the like seen again. Best NOT to think TOO deeply on this as it's just so distressing.
Camera lights action, carry on..... If it made you titter or laugh or just smile, it was always a great cast and a funny story and just the best comedy team in the world..... Carry on...
A lot of these films have had the originally cut-out scenes put back in for modern broadcasts. The "I can recongnise a Fokker" scene was in the film when I watched it this afternoon.
Sid James, Kenneth Williams and the rest of the 'Carry On' team were brilliant. Other than 'Carry On Columbus' I think of a single one I wouldn't watch time and time again. My eldest son loves them as well and he once asked me what one was my favourite. That's a very hard question to answer.
@@britlindy Its a long time ago now. All edited in the original cutting rooms. Great memories. A better version is available as an extra on the carry On boxset, or a Carry On Camping single disc. Ebay should have some.
***** I agree. It's a shame she fell into the trap of continuously being cast as "the fat one" in the later films, and didn't get the opportunity to have a bit of glamour.
I have seen all the Carry Ons at least once. Most I had to see again and again because I was laughing so had I missed some the jokes. I remember watching one where some of the other people in the theatre kept looking at us laughing, as if to say "What's so funny." We will never seen their like again and more's the pity.
We will never see this sort of humor again ,true British family entertainment which certainly cheered you up when you were feeling down ,every film was played to perfection and the likes of Sid James Charles Hawtrey Kenneth Williams Bernard Bresslaw etc all played the same type of character which made you want more so funny and sometimes close to edge but all meant well in the days when you could have a laugh not like today ,my favorite film for me is carry on screaming .
There is nothing worse than getting a gaggle of modern day comedians, many you’ve only vaguely heard of, condescendingly talk about past comedy that you can see they really don’t understand but are here really for the exposure for themselves more than anything else.
I love the 'Carry on's'. I will tell you what surprised me. I thought the part that Ted Ray played in Carry on Teacher was so well judged, so well paced that I was stunned he didn't appear in later Carry on's or other British films of the era.
I have a feeling that was Ted Ray's decision as he didn't want to be tied down to a franchise or maybe it was about money. I'm pretty sure that very topic got brought up in a documentary narrated by Martin Clunes a few years ago. I think the fact an established star like Ray didn't want to do any more was the reason Sid James (at the time a bit part actor) was brought on board to be a more senior presence in a cast of twenty and thirty somethings.
One of those rare Carry On Documentaries that had the wonderful Joan Sims talking about her experiences (albeit very briefly), but at 37:34 when that music kicks in, I was welling up, so many of the regular Carry On "stars" who are sadly no longer with us, SO SAD!! It was a foregone conclusion that COC was a pathetic attempt to bring back that old time humour when so many of the original cast (the ones that you would miss if they weren't in a Carry On) are no longer alive. When those that had the misfortune to be associated with the film, when even they don't have anything positive to say, well that just speaks volumes. Even the original cast towards the mid 70's couldn't recreate that magic of the earlier classics, so what chance has anyone else got!!
When I was a young TV cameraman back in the first half of the 1970's I was extremely fortunate to meet Sid James in Brisbane. I have never forgotten our meeting he was a true gentle man, gracious, humble and a professional of his craft.

Great story mate... I feel lucky on your behalf... Take care man
I'm so jealous. I'd love to have met him.
I know someone else that met him but alas not in the best of circumstances. She was one of the nurses at Sunderland hospital who tried in vain to save his life after his heart attack.
A massive loss. I just hope that there is a heaven because I know that when Sid died and entered God's kingdom he Carried On Carrying On. And I can't wait to see him acting again 😀
I feel so sad for the cast members we have lost ...they are England's greatest treasure😔😭❤
There will never be another series of films that made so many people forget their daily troubles and laugh.
David Godridge So true sport.
@MichaelKingsfordGray He did stipulate a series of films. Great though the examples you listed are, they're all something on an acquired taste.
A brand of humour and entertainment that won't ever be replicated. I grew up on these movies like so many others and still watch them to this day, getting the same laughs as if I'm watching it for the first time! Quality stuff!
+Punky Powers Absolutely correct.
RJ Macready: Sorry Are You Being Served is supreme and better!
Very true. I too grew up watching & loving them

In fact they were a lovely bunch, except for Kenny who could be very moody. I caught him on a bad day so didn’t enjoy his session. But the rest of the gang were lovely! But especially Joan!

Joan Sims was the true star of the Carry On's for me. She was incredibly funny.

On-screen and off she was the real hero there.
Yeh couldn’t agree more. She was a real star amongst a lot of stars! Shame there was a lot of sadness in her life. Though that again is a theme with most of the Carry On stars.
She lived down the road from me. Lovely woman
Adored her! Worked on Camping. She was my favourite. Lovely lady.
Sid James and Joan Sims. Brilliance beyond words. I was born in 1973. But sadly I never saw my first Carry On movie till I was in my 20's surprising enough I was just out of hospital recovering from a horse racing accident (I was a jockey at the time).

This always makes me sad. They gave us so much laughter only for most of the cast to pass away so young or so unhappy!
When all the Carry On actors sadly passed away so did comedy in this Once Wonderful Country. RIP!
i agree. i'm 82, born in Eastbourne, so i enjoyed all those films , also u k. before it lost its identity.
An amazing time to be alive. These days have gone but for me never forgotten.
Aye, wish Windsor Davies was in more, but in the crew too late sadly.
Peter Butterworth was a wartime torpedo bomber pilot who was shot down and captured by the Germans. After three escape attempts he ended up at Stalag Luft III, made famous for The Great Escape, and where he met the writer of the early Carry On films.

Dean Stuart wow interesting ty
Every Carry on is a classic. I love them all.
Awe, ❤'d the ones with Terry Scott (+/or June W) & Behind was bl**dy brilliant too. The 2nd last of the best sadly, but plenty to enjoy.
All these carry on stars were master's of there own craft they made it look so easy and natutral with years of experience behind them.They make it look so easy easy on screen .All the hard work that went into each film.
If I had to say who encapsulated Carry On films, it would be Sid James, Joan Sims and Kenneth Williams
John Mercury and Hattie jaques
Rest In Peace all them
No Hattie Jaques or Kenneth Connor! Let alone 'Babs', but can't fault your 3.
I can still sit down and have a good laugh at a Carry On film that I've seen hundreds of times before.
And what a lovely way to end the program :) Brings a tear to the eye.
Absolutely brilliant, still so funny even after all these years. In my opinion Sid James was the glue that held them together. That dirty laugh! Still watch them regularly.
Bob Mills, hit the nail on the head at the end. I think it was the England we wished we lived in!

@@craigpearson7578 Please both of you print that on your foreheads so anyone with any taste and decency can avoid you.
has to be said Joan Sims was a class act fantastic to me she was the queen of carry on her and hatty
BlytheWorld1972 and either Sid James or K Williams was the King
She was a lovely lady. Adored her. Lucky to have worked with her.
The carry on series never gets old. 🤣 All actors played brilliantly in each film. Kenneth Williams and sid james were my 2 fav actors. 👏👏
Watched these during my childhood they never get old such joyous naughty innocence !thank you for this
The Carry On films,remind you of a time when the world laughed together,unlike today.
So very true, I've just written about that on here.
@MichaelKingsfordGray No that's a very serious matter, no words can describe my feelings, my heart goes out to their families
Yea, now we're all in our little spaces with wifi,,, and we think we're connected.
So Tom Cruise does his own stunts and the world goes mental yet Jim Dale did all his without anyone noticing.
I edited this show 20 years ago. We're uploading more footage
Not many of them left now - we lost June Whitfield and Windsor Davies at the end of last year/January this year, and Fenella Fielding left us this year.
And Dame Babs and Rosalind Knight in December 2020

the 40th anniversary part brought tears to my eyes, bless them all 💞🙏💞
Loved them always. Now as I have passed the 50 mark myself, love them even more.
My all time favourite movies I just love them I have every single carry on movies on DVD.
Fantastic Justin. A great tribute to a classic film series. I also loved the deleted scenes. I know a fokke when i see one. What a line
Absolutely fabulous, true belly laughs, great entertainment and laughter, these are great films, a part of British culture and tradition, there's nothing like it these days, they should be applauded and lauded, a part of my growing up.

Kenneth Williams was awesome
I grew up watching the carry ons and still watch them today and laugh hard every time you can’t beat them the world needs these films

I wish someone would upload some Carry Ons to UA-cam. I love all of them. Loved watching them on telly in the 1970s when I was a kid
google, carry on daily motion 17 on there.....
Also I'm surprised Carry On Screaming wasn't mentioned :(
Amber The Fangirl my favourite with Harry h Corbett
Screaming, is one of the best ones in my opinion, but it’s one that gets so little press that it’s easy to forget about it. The medical Carry Ons come to mind the most easily but that one should be so much higher in people’s impressions of the series.
Lord Belial id like to watch it with Sid I don’t normally like carry on with out sid in

It's kind of sad that nothing like Carry On could exist in the US.

Thanks for down loading happy memories watching this.
And now ~ bar Babs., Liz. F., Jim D., Les. Phillips & a tiny clutch of 'lesser' characters ~ they're ALL 'gone' & the AWFUL part is that there'll NEVER be the like seen again. Best NOT to think TOO deeply on this as it's just so distressing.

She sure was. And how we who loved her miss her so much.
When that film historian Tony Sloman's talking, you can almost feel the poison in him.
Joan Sims was beautiful
Oo
Camera lights action, carry on..... If it made you titter or laugh or just smile, it was always a great cast and a funny story and just the best comedy team in the world..... Carry on...
Great film's got most of them always have a right good laugh everytime I watch them great slapstick comedys......
what a lovely documentary and a fitting tribute to the past an present carry on actors
Peter butterworth was an unsung hero for me.
A lot of these films have had the originally cut-out scenes put back in for modern broadcasts. The "I can recongnise a Fokker" scene was in the film when I watched it this afternoon.
This is a lovely little documentary. I love these films.
I grew up watching the Carry on movies. I am a fan and I have the box set. They always make me laugh if I have a bad day. A great pick me up.
one of the best. thanx for the fun times.
Sid James, Kenneth Williams and the rest of the 'Carry On' team were brilliant.
Other than 'Carry On Columbus' I think of a single one I wouldn't watch time and time again.
My eldest son loves them as well and he once asked me what one was my favourite. That's a very hard question to answer.

Ever time the carry on films are on I got to watch them
Oh, I understand, now. Thanks for the upload.
Fantastic movies - Love them all!
The Carry Ons were in a long line of English bawdiness going back to Chaucer.
Pure comedy gold! Timeless.
Best thumbnail to a video ever.
Strange to think that Kenneth Williams disliked Sid James. They worked so well on Hancock.
Loved the carry on series! 1 of best comedy of all times! Shame tho some of main casts weren't able to join in
Kenneth Williams was born to be a comedian. He never took himself and life too seriously as it appears...
.
Joan Sims was the Queen of the Carry Ones dunno why the overrated Babs Windsor gets all the credit.
My Precious she was a real beauty
jessie james She certainly was and a wonderful actress to boot.
My Precious she was amazing such a talent great great woman makes ya proud to be British x
+My Precious True , Joan was the most used female actress in the Carry On's, Babs only made 10 out of 30..

@Nicole Powell yes she was brilliant in that, when she got drunk and couldn't say her words properly! Always has me laughing 😂😁
@657 Blue Army
You absolutely right.
Its another time that Never comes back...
I have seen all the Carry Ons at least once. Most I had to see again and again because I was laughing so had I missed some the jokes. I remember watching one where some of the other people in the theatre kept looking at us laughing, as if to say "What's so funny." We will never seen their like again and more's the pity.
'I'm doing Shakespeare and Checkov now' 😂
Hello from Canada. Such a fine event!
Great fun! Thanks!
I grew up with the Carry On Films and my favourites are Carry On Up The Khyber, Carry On Camping and Carry On Screaming
Sweet Lolita they are the best 3
We will never see this sort of humor again ,true British family entertainment which certainly cheered you up when you were feeling down ,every film was played to perfection and the likes of Sid James Charles Hawtrey Kenneth Williams Bernard Bresslaw etc all played the same type of character which made you want more so funny and sometimes close to edge but all meant well in the days when you could have a laugh not like today ,my favorite film for me is carry on screaming .
There is nothing worse than getting a gaggle of modern day comedians, many you’ve only vaguely heard of, condescendingly talk about past comedy that you can see they really don’t understand but are here really for the exposure for themselves more than anything else.
I love the 'Carry on's'. I will tell you what surprised me. I thought the part that Ted Ray played in Carry on Teacher was so well judged, so well paced that I was stunned he didn't appear in later Carry on's or other British films of the era.
I have a feeling that was Ted Ray's decision as he didn't want to be tied down to a franchise or maybe it was about money. I'm pretty sure that very topic got brought up in a documentary narrated by Martin Clunes a few years ago. I think the fact an established star like Ray didn't want to do any more was the reason Sid James (at the time a bit part actor) was brought on board to be a more senior presence in a cast of twenty and thirty somethings.
One of those rare Carry On Documentaries that had the wonderful Joan Sims talking about her experiences (albeit very briefly), but at 37:34 when that music kicks in, I was welling up, so many of the regular Carry On "stars" who are sadly no longer with us, SO SAD!! It was a foregone conclusion that COC was a pathetic attempt to bring back that old time humour when so many of the original cast (the ones that you would miss if they weren't in a Carry On) are no longer alive. When those that had the misfortune to be associated with the film, when even they don't have anything positive to say, well that just speaks volumes. Even the original cast towards the mid 70's couldn't recreate that magic of the earlier classics, so what chance has anyone else got!!
Best part for me was at 7:54.
That was ingenius!
“fakir! off!” may be my favourite ever movie gag...
My lovely dad was the Fakir! Thank you for your comment! 😘
Loved Sid, just to see that craggy look and the wicked eyes and gales of laughter!
Oh my days I love the carry on films 😆❤️
