CARRY ON FILMS 1958 - 1978
I always have been and always will be a fan of the wonderful carry on films right from the start with the black and white Carry on Sergeant up to 1978 and including all the TV specials , I have them on VHS, DVD and LASER DISC and no collection of films would be complete with out a few on the shelf ,
I know some where better than others but to think thay lasted 30 years is a testament to the wonderful cheekiness,
And as there is talk of another film being made "CARRY ON LONDON" will they get it right after the last cock up ( pun intended) Carry OnColumbus,
What are your memories and which do you think funniest and best
Carry On script gets green light
The long-awaited 32nd Carry On film is one step closer to beingfilmed and could be in cinemas by the end of the year, the BBC haslearned.
A final script with a "fun storyline" has been signed off, a spokeswoman for the production company has confirmed.
With the working title Carry On London, the film centres on a limousine company ferrying celebrities to an awards show.
The news comes ahead of a party this weekend at Pinewood Studios to celebrate 50 years of Carry On films.
Casting details for the new film are expected to be announced later in the year.
Stars including Vinnie Jones, Shane Ritchie and Daniella Westbrook have previously been linked with the project.
"It was such a shame it didn't go ahead as planned because the scriptwas absolutely marvellous - very funny and clever," said Williamson'sagent at the time.
Star cameos
Carry On London will follow the mayhem behind the scenes as a fleet oflimo drivers deliver celebrity clients to the Herberts - a British takeon the Oscars.
"We will be having some cameo appearances in the film," a spokeswoman for the film told BBC News.
She also confirmed that sets for the movie were made last year, including a car yard for the limousine company.
It is hoped the film will be released by the end of 2008 to coincidewith the 50th anniversary celebrations but, depending on whenproduction begins, it may not hit cinemas until 2009.
The last attempt to revive the franchise was 16 years ago with Carry OnColumbus, which starred Julian Clary, Jim Dale, Maureen Lipman andCarry On veteran June Whitfield.
But it was slated by critics - Empire magazine called it "a cheaperalternative to pantomime" - and the film failed to make an impact atthe box office.
"never get bored of these films"
