Product Information

Acting Headmaster William Wakefield decides to apply for a post at a new school after 20-years service at Maudlin Street Modern School. Before he can leave he must deal with a visit by a Ministry of Education Inspector, but when a senior boy pupil overhears Wakefield plans to leave at the end of term, he and his school chums plan to sabotage every endeavour that might earn Wakefield praise. Carry On Constable (1960) 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! 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 Down Under was considered when, while on holiday in Australia, Gerald Thomas scouted locations and spoke to the Australian Film Commission about a potential film. The production was abandoned when finance fell through, and a complete script written by Vince Powell is included in the book Fifty Years of Carry On. Sony don’t seem to, as they are sitting on the much more marketable and popular Confessions films. Think they were even happy for the DVD set to go OOP.

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] 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) Truly successful horror-comedies are very few and far between. Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, An American Werewolf in London, Gremlins, Shaun of the Dead. And this … the Carry On team’s fabulous take on Hammer Horror. The secret potion, or elixir, that is needed to make them work is that as well as being extremely funny, they have to take the horror seriously enough to deliver some genuine shivers. It is a delicate balancing act to spoof something whilst still delivering the necessary thrills and chills … and it’s a right old scream watching Sgt. Bung “finger” the culprits here.

The Last Of Us Part II | An 'element' cut from the game will appear in season 2 of the TV series

I`ve got the first two of these, the quality is hugely improved from the old DVD releases and they are finally in the correct aspect ratio. Carry on cruising looks especially good. The problem with the upcoming third set is that three of the four films are already on blu ray. During the production of the series, the rights passed between a couple of companies ( Carry On Emmanuelle was made by Hemdale!), and it's likely that some of the original elements haven't survived the transition - Henry, Convenience (aka Round the Bend) and Follow that Camel are 4:3 and pretty ropey-looking) and even if they were repairable, the expense in doing so (or even just brushing them up and transferring) to sell to a rapidly shrinking market - for both physical media and the drastically changing political landscape - renders a complete set moot. To say nothing of the legal minefield with Carry On Columbus, leaving it not even officially released on DVD, a grey-area Australian one about the only option. 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.

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.Stodge City is in the grip of the Rumpo Kid and his gang. Mistaken identity again takes a hand as a ‘sanitary engineer’ named Marshal P. Knutt is mistaken for a law marshal. Being the conscientious sort, Marshal tries to help the town get rid of Rumpo, and a showdown is inevitable. Marshal has two aids—revenge-seeking Annie Oakley and his sanitary expertise. Carry On Screaming! (1966) The films are spoofs of James Bond, Hollywood epic Cleopatra, American Westerns, and Hammer horror films, respectively. Bright, Morris; Ross, Robert (2000). Mr Carry On – The Life & Work of Peter Rogers. London: BBC Books. ISBN 978-0-563-55183-6. 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. The titles already out there are the more popular ones from Anglo-Amalgamated, before everything was sold and ownership became complicated. Britbox probably restored Khyber as it made the top 100 British films list, and renders it as a stand-alone look at times past. Other films they are eyeing up include The 39 Steps, which seems to point to them only working on British films of some importance. As for Camping, it's the archetypal Carry On film, being the go-to for the series and a logical selection for HD restoration.
