In the statistics for each actor, the numbers given for TV episodes are for the Carry On Laughing TV series only. These figures do not include any other TV shows they may have done outside of Carry On.
I don’t follow your logic. If you are talking about carry on episodes, then the figures cannot be correct. I have seen numerous carry on films, almost all, on TV at one time or another in my 71 years.
In 1975, there was a television series called Carry On Laughing. There were 13 episodes made of this series altogether. This is where the TV episode numbers are taken from for this video.
Did you take down the Minder video?
I’m 59 and I don’t consider myself especially “old” so to see so many of these great actors dead around that age is pretty scary! Love these films ❤️😬
I agree.I am the same age as you
Turned 60 this year and was shocked to see how many did not make it this far. Think my day's are numbered Lol.
@@douglastalbot8031 Don't say that stay strong positive and try to stay well and healthy. God bless you. Love from the UK ❤️🙏👍
Indeed , so many never got to 'retire ' & they were paid a pittance in the early days , Charles Hawtrey only got £25 in his first films .
Different time
Different technology and knowledge of the human body👍
Carry on up the Khyber. An absolute classic that always makes me laugh. Those of us of a certain age were so lucky growing up when comedy was actually funny.
Fakir.......... off!
Rosebarry I think you're a devil in skirts 😂
I remember that with them all sitting down to dinner in the middle of a revolt. Joan Simms thought the man opposite to her was putting is foot up her leg when it was a snake. So funny.
That was funny when they tried to fire the machine gun and it sounded like an old Victorian music box.
Miss carry on movies. Great actors. Best of British. So many beautiful characters. Rip to those who have passed away
Just can’t beat the Carry Ons. Timeless comedies.
carry on for ever 😍
I've never found them offensive, they were full of innuendos, funny or offensive depends how your mind works. Find them offensive you've got a filthy mind!
I have just watched them all again over Christmas, as long as they keep showing them I'll keep watching, never get tired of the classics ❤️
I used to love watching the carry ons with my dad when I was a kid in the 80s and early 90s. We would watch them over and over and they never seemed to get old. Sadly we will never have anything like that again and the world is a poorer place for it!
The Carry On Movies were a part of my childhood and as a family we all gathered around the TV whenever one was shown. Dreadful that all but a few of the legends who made them so memorable have passed on but they will never, ever be forgotten.
Unfortunately, for them to still be around now (over 50 years since the heyday) the cast would be around 80 or 90 years old now. It is very sad knowing only Jim Dale and Julian Holloway are about the only male regular cast still alive now, with Anita Harris and Angela Douglas being a couple of females still with us
Patsy Rowlands was a genuinely lovely woman, and close family friend. Am forever grateful that we had that with her. Always fond memories when she's on the screen or in tributes like this.
That's wonderful.
Lucky you Simon , she came across as such a nice and sincere lady .
National treasures every one of them, Bless them all.
what beautiful wonderful people they where,i still wacth those movies and i laugh all the time ...maybe its just me but i dont think there is any actors out there thatt know how to make people laugh without bad language and crudity...so happy that i have lived through the best years of music and actors like these,never to be seen again in my opinion
SID JAMES , Blimey what a character actor. Always played HIMSELF , but it always worked !
Absolutely brilliant I own every carry on film on dvd absolutely timeless classic comedies
I met June Whitfield in 1984, she was lovely. I also saw Sidney James walking down Skegness pier around 1971, I was with my mum and grandma and we were going to see him in a comedy play in the theatre at the end of the pier. He was walking right in front of us all the way along and my grandma told me to get his autograph but I was too shy. Brilliant cast and films, saucy seaside humour, I will always treasure these films.
Some great memories there!
For sure. I also met Les Dawson at a fete and I did get his autograph and I remember he didn’t put with love on the card so my grandma took it back to him and complained and he added it! Talk about embarrassing! I saw Norman Wisdom at Skegness pier theatre as well in his live show, he was very naughty and very funny. I didn’t get to meet him though. We will never see acts like these ever again, sadly. Thanks for the video🙂
Love that your gran took the autograph back! Well done Les Dawson for adding it too! 😀
My dad worked with Jacki Piper's dad at Joseph Lucas, Acocks Green, Birmingham in the 60s before she joined the carry on team. What a pity we weren't introduced !
I have watched 100 times over and they are STILL funny.
Love Joan Sims , that laugh - hilllarious.
If you want a good laugh, you can always rely on the Carry Ons
I went to the same school as Bernard Breslaw and met him a few times at reunions. A true gentleman
I was doing a charity gig in Harlow in the late 70s and there was many personalities there including Bernard Bresslaw.He came over to speak to me.I was on stage and he was on the floor and I think we were at the same height. What a charming and classy man he was and SO TALL.Sadly missed.
Just wow, I grew up watching these guys and now at 55 so many have passed thank you for your research and dedication for this. Can we see a clip of each one again just to bring a tear to our our eyes once more…
These films are classics. I never get tired of watching them. You could tell all the actors got on well.
I was in single figures when my nan would take me to the cinema to watch these films and they were absolutely hilarious back then and still make me laugh now. Imagine in 20 years time a yt channel running then and now videos for 'the love island', 'big brother', nah, i cant even think of anything else recent to quote.
The older i get , the more i appreciate their comedy genius.
They was all brilliant wish they was all here today .the world could do with a few laughs.
thay all be making god laugh now no wonder its been raining gods laughter tears lol
Sid James laughter echoes down the years
I loved him in Bless This House and my grandad looked just like him.
Every time I saw him on the tele it was like looking at my grandad.
It certainly does, i mimick it sometimes at work
Can you imagine (I wish ) being sat around the table with Sid and Babs and Kenneth all laughing at the same time. Hilarious 😂 😃 lol
@@fran-kittyayers5329 Their laughter is just the tonic we need in these grim times 🤣
@@gregthompson3274 that's true, it's a frightening world 🌎 we live in you take care, lol
So well done. They’re all legends. I love Kenneth Williams, Sid James, Barbara Windsor and the inimitable Hattie Jacques. My mum is a nurse, so we cracked up at the medically themed films sooooo much!
I left good old England some 33 years ago as I couldn't find a job, thanks ro Margret Thatcher. I brought all my British commedy series with me & when I want to laugh I watch them. Carry On films were my favourite as well as On The Buses etc. The British humour is unique!
Don't blame Maggie, perhaps it was your fault you couldn't get a job? Always someone else's fault...Carry on watching the classics pal, no humour like it anywhere else.
@@Richard-fv7rq I had a house in Weybridge & lots of money to live without working, but working is in my blood & writing to many companies the answer was the same. I live elsewhere & if I give my name in Google it shows what I have done. Because of Brexit, like many othres, I have a second pass. I never forget doing my job in Scotland, Wales & Norther Ireland. The company Davy , a world know company, doesn't exist anymore. I love England & once the Corona is over I'll visit good old England.
@@drkimy fair play, stay safe.
You should have applied to helping hands 👀
I bought the box set and its worth every penny.
Absolutely adore the Carry on team.
Thanks for uploading this.
OMG Richard you are so true. I'm so very glad I did all my growing up when I did. Peace mate.
The Carry on films were live action British seaside cards. Funny for the children and with innuendos for the adults.
Stuart farquar... Stupid what?
@@micheald3716 They will live in infamy, infamy... they got it in for me!
All out we're striking again. No newspapers in the bog to read 👀
Whenever İ feel down İ just watch a Carry On Film. Always does the trick, always will.
Kenneth Connor was a brilliant actor even when he did the prince Regent Black adder love his acting funny man
Hard to believe that most of the cast would be either a 100 years old now or well in their 90s. Such a shame we lost 2 recently, Barbara, Margaret ( a month or so before Barbara) and then liz before them two.
Grew up with all those characters on screen and TV , now in my 70s you realise how fleeting life is. Thanks for the memories , these posts are great 👍.
Glad you are enjoying the videos and the memories! Many thanks!
These stars were all great in their own right and gave us great entertainment. I love the carry on films, light innocent with witty innuendos. It's great to see some of the stars are still with us. Let's face it , they will still be showing carry on films in years to come, can the same be said of TV and most films today !! My two favourite carry ons are C O Camping and C On Abroad.
Very well said!
I still watch a carry on film when ever they are on TV, good harmless humour.
I deliberately cultivated the Sid James cackle and only for my teacher to say one day "who's that with the dirty laugh" I liked Miss Jacobs, so I dropped it.. Probably a good decision for an 11 year old.
The set up for the "gone for a p" line from 'camping' still gets me today. Here's to never growing up!
Great list, but ones that got away: Amanda Barrie. Carry on Cabbie and Carry on Cleo. Harry H Corbett. Carry on Screaming.
I freaking love these films, the innuendo's for me this is how most BRITS are not as camped up as these but we all know someone who literally is any of these characters. Sidney James had the kind of face only his mother would love. Kenneth Williams. Barbara Windsor oh my lord can you imagine these getting made to day they would have upset every single woke idiot so badly they would need padded cells and jackets so they can hug themselves. Hattie Jacques had one hell of a following who loved that woman.
They were really funny, of course with pc nowadays they would not be made!!!!
Says a lot that they are still incredibly popular and are still shown again and again. Bought the entire set - TV shows and all - for my daughter for Xmas, she has been a fan since she was a toddler. Knows most of the words to them all off by heart.
One of the best was Carry On Camping (1969)
Hawtrey: "Hello. What's a nice girl like you doing with an old cow?"
Farm Girl: "I'm taking her to the bull."
Hawtrey: "Couldn't your father do that?"
Farm Girl: "No, it has to be the bull!"
Tony Roach, my favorite one too! Watched it a million times lol!😀😀
"Where's the owner?"
"Gone for a P."
The camp owner comes back with the letter P - to be nailed in front of the word "asses," so the sign reads "All passes must be shown." The genius of that alone - considering Sid wanted to go to a nudist camp ... brilliant.
You think that's funny.
My grandad was called Arthur and his surname Bull 😂
@@terrymurphy2032 I loved the goat 😂
I think Liz Frazer always did it for me, absolutely gorgeous.
Dawn break's carry on girls.wow.
@@jonathanfurzeland4740 a reply after four months i give up.
Love them all who where a big part of my childhood I bloody miss the 80’s
I counted 9 that are still here. Hattie Jacques was always my favourite. I enjoyed a few of the films.
Legends!.. All of them!
Sad that so many have passed on. I absolutely love the Carry On films. There will never be anything like these films today as the PC brigade wouldn't allow it. RIP to all of these greats.
Political correctness has gone too far and has ruined comedy and I've had enough we want our country back now !
@@ashleyhallows2566 we have the full set of carry on films, I absolutely love them, I agree, they wouldn't get away with that humour nowadays, I've also just got nearest and dearest dvd box-set and its absolutely hilarious, Its so long since I've laughed, a good proper belly laugh with tears !!!
I love Hylda Baker, one of kind that actress and Jimmy Jewel is funny as well.
And there is plenty innuendos so again in this world, wouldn't have a place.
ummmm, they're on telly all of the time and no one complains
I think there maybe only 4 left now from the carry on films, and those only did handful of films. I think Barbara, may have been the very last one to star in a good number of them.
I remember watching carry on movies on tv in the seventies as a teen. You are right they are so PC incorrect that was the best thing about them, even some TV shows were PC incorrect, I grew up in an era where any thing goes. Today it's all different.
Legends, we'll never see such comedy again!
Timeless classics long live carry on forever
I love watching the carry on films. Still laugh at them even when i have seen them so many times
the carry on movies are double fantastic i could watch them over and over like i did and still do god rest the ones that passed on.you carnt beat british humour i loved everyone of them
Thank you loved the carry on films. Great Times. Lovely to see what happened to all the cast.
Thank you. Glad you enjoyed it!
What can I say but thank you all for such fun and laughter. 😀❤😀
Timeless. Always brings back memories. And no I’m not old , just Matured 🥰
Absolutely love carry on films 👌
Old Sid James eh!!. It wouldn't be a Carry On film without him.
I still remember when he died down the town in our Empire theatre.
So so sad!!
But what a guy eh!
You hear his name then picture his face and you can't help but grin.
Happy days
Interesting information. Amazing how many carry on stars were born in London. 🙂
#COMEDY #LEGENDS
All of them are very sadly missed
Kenneth Williams is famous for having been a star of radio comedies, and doing other television work, which is probably why he didn't do any television Carry On.
This summary demonstrates how so many in the changing lineup were interchangeable by types. Some, like June Whitfield, I hadn't thought of as a Carry On player at all. Too much typing to put in everyone's "Also acted in" top three jobs. lol
Thanks for this.
So sad and how time flies. So many died in their fifties or early sixties. I remember watching the early films in the 1960's. PC has destroyed harmless humour these days.
Cannot believe that Esma Cannon (the last on the list at 10.03) who played small roles as the dotty old lady in 4 films was in fact aged 54-57 when the films were released in 1960-1963.
I know what you mean billy, but unlike today 57 was "old" in 1963!
Whenever I see Sid James, i cannot help going 'yayayayayayayayayayaayya'!
Matron "I'm a simple woman with simple tastes, and I want to be wooed!"
Sir Bernard "Ooh, you can be as 'wude' as you like with me!"
So many classic scenes, but that will always be my favourite!
Matron Points to logo saying Chayste Place on her T shirt "Oh, as you can see Doctor, I'm chaste"
Dr.Soaper " Not very often, I'm sure"
Carry on Camping, Mrs Fussey "I've got sore misgivings".......Sid, " You ought to put some talcum powder on them."
I’ll buy you a packet of fruit and nut tomorrow!
Bless them all, alive or otherwise. Many years of making people happy. Leslie Philips will always be special to me and my brother, because he was the spitting image of our late father.
And in the 2 years since this was posted we've lost Bernard Cribbins, Leslie Phillips, Anna Karen and Linda Baron. 😢 Rest In Peace. Carry On was a Legend of Characters with golden 💛 hearts
I'm working on a big video on the whole Carry on universe, and this saved me a lot of wikipedia time. Thanks! Geat to see other people still putting in work, to keep the legacy alive
*_Carry on Regardless it may be a hit in 2021_*
Brought on great memories of my youth
I have several carry-on episodes on DVD I found last year at a very reasonable price and the charity shop I watched them I've seen them on TV but you don't see them on TV so much anymore but they're really good to watch very good comedy very risque and that's what I like so it's worth having and thanks to UA-cam you can always go back in time and enjoy..
Best thing since sliced bread were the Carry On films and all these great and funny actors/actresses👌👍🥇as good as any tonic/medicine to lift the spirits, thanking them all for the laughter they brought us👏❤️
Good old Leslie Phillips still going strong.
And Bernard cribbins 👍💯
And Jim Dale
Ding dong not wrong
He's had some difficult times in his life sadly he's beloved wife killed her self a number years ago 😔
@@thx113thx That's terrible.
How sad that apart from Jim Dale nearly all the main cast are dead. And most so young.
8:32 - a true treasure is still with us!
Recently found out he's a singer as well as an actor. Multi talented man especially in Hocombe Woods with Doris Mann
I've been counting, 9 are still alive
I was going to comment on how young a lot of them were at time of their passing
Yes Jim Dale is still with us, 86
Loved watching the film's as a child and I still do💯🇬🇧
More of a how many are still with us than then and now. So sad and a shame . Bless them all 💗❤
Fantastic and many thanks for posting. These films will live on forever 👍
They certainly will and thanks John!
Missed from cast List: Windsor Davies as the Sergeant Major; also Melvin Davies who played Gunner Shorthouse. Both in "Carry on England"
There time was peak of T.V. and cinema . And they were the true stars in there times . We have very good memories . It is not like that any more.
May there souls rest in peace .
We will miss them as long as we live because we have beautifully memories of our younger days.
So Many faces and characters you grow up with and laugh with and sad to see many have passed
Really enjoyed this. When comedy was at its best.
Sid will always be my favourite
Mine too!
*Sid - I thought he was from Wagga Wagga Australia ?*
The best Carry on films were the early ones, Carry on Sergeant Nurse, Teacher anf Constable. They had a certain depth and offered a social commentary. The later ones became very formulaic and one dimensiona, full of suggestive smut even if quite funny. My favourites are Teachet and Sergeant; both have poignsnt endings.l
Kenneth Williams absolute Legend
Fantastic people some of whom I knew. A great comedy series.
Great, old fashioned British comedy to light up our lives and ourselves! "Up The Khyber" the most outrageous and my fav.
Aw, it's so sad nearly all of them have passes over, Jim Dale is still alive, 83 I believe?
These films were good, clean fun, they cheer me up!
But this innocent type of humour sadly would never he allowed today!
Thank You StuView👍🔥🔥
Jim Dale will be 88 in August and doesn't look a day over 70. Amazing.
@@stuviewtv ...aw I'm out by a few years!
Wow! 88, bless him ,thanks Stu👍
Kenneth Williams will always be my favourite!
i have a action figure that talks from carry on cleo of kenneth williams its awesome makes me laugh lol
Back when comedy was actually funny. Modern 'comedy'is dire!
I loved Carry On. God bless them all. Thanks 😊
Really enjoyed this thanks,watched an old carry on film the other day,will always still find them great entertainment ..Been watching them my whole life!
Thanks Mark! Glad you enjoyed the video. Carry On laughing!
👍 Great work... didn't know there were TV episodes, though there were only films, Also thought Jim Dale was the last of the original 'carry on'ers'
The TV episodes don't get repeated very often these days. Thanks for watching the video! Glad you enjoyed it.
we all miss them all to day loveing them allstill to day
Absolutely Loved this
Thanks from a huge carry on fan
Thank you! Glad you enjoyed it. Carry On laughing!
Great movie's, great set's, great fun...
Made in the same studio's as the Bond movie's, when the epic Cleopatra was being filmed it is was originally made in Pinewood Studios but complaints about the cold forced them to film abroad which left an entire set of Roman buildings behind.... hence 'Carry On Cleo'
Some have passed away since this video was made, too many died too young, sadly missed.
Im 71 so I vaguely remember seeing a few Carry Ons at the movies.
These carry on films will go on forever ❤
I live in Montreal, Quebec, Canada and used to go to the movies a lot when I was a teenager. In the fifties and early sixties Quebec had the strictest censor board in North America and would cut out whole scenes from movies. Quebec politics was closely controlled by the church and even drive-ins were not permitted in the province. HOWEVER, the plays on words, the sexual innuendo, and all of the off=color jokes went right over the heads of the censors so the Carry On movies were screened in their entirety; much to the enjoyment of the English speaking audience!
Angela Douglas was (and still is) so beautiful. Those eyes.
Leslie Phillips, ding dong, Thank you for all the laughter, you were brilliant
Wonderful people, unfortunately today you couldn't repeat the humour due to the sad state of the world that we live in
You’re right. Most people nowadays are so pathetic.
It’s bloody GREAT COMEDY👍🏻
I couldn't agree more.....In my opinion there should be a TV channel specifically for The Good Old British Classic Comedy so those that are easily offended don't need to tune in. We are being dictated to by what we can watch and what we can't and no one in authority is brave enough to stand up to them!
@@williamcampbell6887 We have UK Gold for this.
@@VincentRE79 That doesn’t show all Classic comedy
Oh shut up. Of course you could repeat the humour today. But humour has changed since the 1960s and 1970s and it just wouldn't sell as well today as it did back then.
I love the Carry on films and the actors so funny.
Great video. Love the carry on films. If you make another one please mention the great Kenneth Cope, Joan Hickson Marianne Stone and Terence Longdon?
Thanks Steve! There will be a part 3 coming soon.
So many died so young!
Fantastic, brought back a few childhood memories. Had forgotten that a few of the lesser known actors actually appeared in more films than some of the bigger names.
Did I miss Kenneth Cope and Richard O'Callaghan??
Glad you enjoyed it! I am going to do a separate video for supporting stars such as Kenneth Cope and Richard O'Callaghan. Coming soon!
@@stuviewtv Thanks. Much enjoyed. However, did Jon Pertwee not appear in four Carry Ons? I may have missed him.
@@emersonschosenfew He's going to be in part 3 coming soon.
@@stuviewtv Look forward to it.
Those were the best years such a shame so many of them Died so young 😢
