I have to say that the Carry On movies are absolutely dreadful even the standards of the 60s.

Seemed to loved by the same type that think Mrs Browne is peak comedy.

The early black and white ones from the 1950s were actually very funny.

The first hospital one with Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques was a classic.

The franchise did lose its way in the late 60s and early 70s and became rather cheap and smutty (but the entire British movie industry went that way in fact).

The title alone to Carry on Up the Khyber is itself funnier than anything that's appeared in Mrs Brownes boys.

I was genuinely saddened to hear of Barbara’s death. She brought so much light and joy and laughter into so many peoples lives including my own. Any show she was in she shone like a star. Alzheimer’s is such a terrible cruel disease. May she Rest In Peace.

Carry on Cleo was OK. Millions were spent on the sets.

LOL

Carry On Screaming is a guilty pleasure.
