What we need is a cleverly edited film based on Barbara Windsor and Jim Dale performing the sketches in the BCG Critique section...
...or maybe not.

Definitely not. 
Quote: Aaron @ September 23 2009, 3:48 PM BSTGod knows what happened after that. I do still hope it gets made though, as we need some really silly comedy again. I'd love to be able to write one myself.
Have a go Aaron. Why not. It's fun even if it doesn't get made. I can vouch for that. 
I'm not sure I have the patience - but I do love constructing innuendo!
Everyone start prodding Aaron with a stick till he posts a sketch in Critique. You can tell he'd like to have a go at this but he's worried everyone will laugh at him instead of his script.

We do that anyway. Where have you been for the last three years?
I'd prod him with my stick - but it'd tear him in two poor lad.

Don't. The naming is a complete coincidence, it's nothing to do with the Carry On series, it's based on an old stage play apparently.
I reckon a new Carry On film could be great if they do it properly and especially if they leave Russell Brand out of it.

What about Carrie and Carrie 2: The Rage, do they have anything to do with the Carry On series?
Well Carrie had Charles Hawtrey in it but Carrie 2: The Rage is nothing to do with the Carry On series.
Quote: Tuumble @ September 23 2009, 3:47 PM BSTI think it could only be saved by using technology to super impose the regulars in some way. Maybe as bystanders or cleverly using old lines in the new script.
That will happen one day with animation techniques improving. You'll get all the old dead actors reappearing.
Hello, only just discovered this thread after a little occasional browsing on this site and I thought I'd help answer a few points raised here.
Firstly, Carry On London is as far away from being made as it ever was and realistically the idea died with Peter Rogers - there is not the will or the financial clout to get the project off the ground any longer after several false starts.
As for some films being made with a different title and then being converted to a Carry On - the first example of this was Carry On Cabby which was originally to be titled "Call Me A Cab" (listen to the theme tune and you'll see how the title fits!) - on reflection they decided it must be a Carry On after all. Follow That Camel and Don't Lose Your Head were originally released without the Carry On prefix for contractual reasons (Peter Rogers had split with the original distributor Anglo Amalgamated and they felt they had ownership of the name) but the Carry On was added at a later date.
Talbot Rothwell wrote many of the films from his first entry in the series Cabby to the last one he wrote, Carry On Dick in 1974. During the writing of this he suffered a stress related illness and couldn't type any longer so he dictated to his daughter to get the script completed on time. This forced his early retirement. He was a POW in the Second World War in Stalag Luft 3 where he wrote the camp concerts (in all senses of the word presumably!) that were put on for general entertainment and also to mask up the digging endeavours of the Great Escape. Carry On actor Peter Butterworth was a POW there also.
As has been pointed out already Carry On Admiral had nothing to do with the series despite it featuring Joan Sims in it, although one suspects Peter Rogers knew of it's existence and blagged the name from there for Carry On Sergeant.
I have the will, but alas not the finance, contacts, or know-how.
And Carry On London Limited, which was formed to produce the film, is presently undergoing liquidation proceedings.
Didn't someone used to cry 'Carry on London.' on the wireless ?
In Town Tonight rings a bell. The traffic noise used to stop and then start again IIRC.
