Carry On Laughing!

[Wayne]

I mentioned doing a Carry On Time Team on Ralph's comedy films thread:

Is anyone here a big Carry On fan, enough to have all the films? Just a thought, but would anyone be interested in Carry On time team sort of thread?
Not neccesarily talking about big reviews, but just watching say one film per week, sharing favourite bits, & a few laughs.
I've now got them all, (except 'Columbus') & have never watched them all in order. In fact, i'm sure there's a few of the earlier ones that i've never seen at all. I know Jonno's got them all, but has anyone else?

Ralph, Logo, Pip, & Jonno all expressed an interest in joining in, so i'm starting sometime this coming week. Naturally, anyone else is more than welcome to chip in.
I still haven't got 'Columbus', but i'll be including 'What a Carve Up!' even though it's not officially a Carry On, a few of the many Carry On cast are in it, including the mighty Sid. So that's good enough for me!

The list of films are as follows, & i'll be doing approx one per week, as mentioned.

Carry On Sergeant 1958
Carry On Nurse 1959
Carry On Teacher 1959

Sounds good! I've got the complete box set so I'll be with you all the way!

[Wayne]

Yay!

Some of them i don't think i've ever seen. Especially the earlier ones, so it will be interesting to see how they developed over time.

[Si Hunt]

That's Carry On

Lost!

Si.

[Wayne]

oops! That wasn't meant to be there. I've just removed it.

[Pip Madeley]

I think we should include That's Carry On, I love those links with Kenny & Babs We could do it as the final film, a nice way to round the journey off

[Wayne]

I haven't got it i'm afraid......

[Pip Madeley]

We can sort that out when the times comes.

[Wayne]

Ok, i'll do the same for you with 'What a Carve Up!'.

[Paul Clement]

I've got most of the Carry On Films, and can get hold of the ones I haven't, so I'm up for this.

I won't rewatch Carry on Sergeant though as I only watched it a few months back.

[Wayne]

Excellent Paul!

[Jonno]

Yay - I've got them all on video and now on DVD too courtesy of the big box set collection I treated myself to last year. I won't be able to keep up with the one a week pace - I'm averaging around one a month at the moment since starting my DVDs last year! Most recently watched is one of my all time faves - Cabby, but I've stalled a bit ahead of Jack.

Incidentally, if you stick to one a week, this should take you roughly up to Christmas!

Are you going to be rewatching Carve Up, Wayne, following your first viewing of it six months ago?

[Milky Tears]

About half of mine are still sealed.

[Wayne]

Are you going to be rewatching Carve Up, Wayne, following your first viewing of it six months ago?

Yes, i'll be watching all of them again. I know 'Carve Up' was quite recent, but having only seen it that once, i'm not exactly what you'd call familiar with it, so i'm happy to watch that again anyway.

[duncan]

I don't have them all, but I'll join in when I can.

[Wayne]

The more the merrier! Even if it's not all the way through.

It's too late edit my original post, but i forgot to include the 4 'Carry On Christmas' specials on the list.

[Ralph]

It'll be interesting to see which ones give the real belly laughs...will I change my mind over "Screaming"? I have my doubts but it'll be good to see

[Pip Madeley]

If it's taking us up to Christmas, we might as well do those specials at the very end?

[Wayne]

That was my thinking too.

[MacNimon]

I've got quite a few of these so I'll join in where I can as well. Even those I don't have, I've probably seen at some point so I'll probably be able to comment on most of them, at least.

I'm glad you're including 'Carve Up' as well, I watched this again recently and think it's great!

[Ralph]

I'm pretty sure I haven't seen "Carve up!"

[Wayne]

Right, i'm kicking off with 'Carry On Sergeant' tomorrow night.
Meanwhile, i went to the Post Office yesterday, so those of you expecting something should have it by the end of the week.

[Paul Clement]

Royal Mail works very fast these days. I enjoyed coming home from work tonight.

[Wayne]

Good news!

[Pip Madeley]

Cheers Wayne! I'll watch Sergeant at the weekend
