:O
But, their accents!

Are hilarious.

Oh, I found it totally unwatchable!

And also in that one Sid seems to cross the line from charmingly un PC woman chaser into actual potential rapist. Bit unpleasant.

Carry On Girls is great.

Do you like Carry On Cabby?

Carry On Girls is great.

Yep, one of my favourites.

Margaret Nolan and Barbara Windsor fighting in their skimpy bikinis still makes me smile
:)

S o no problem with all the robbing and murdering then? Cowboy is part of the sub-genre of send-up Carry Ons, and Sid is in bad guy character, he is not supposed to be a cheeky chappy.

Carry On Girls is great.

Not as bad as Loving or At Your Convenience, but still pretty neanderthal.

I suppose.

They're great too.

Carry On Cowboy is the worst one. By miles.

Not so; it's got Jon Pertwee and Sid James. And Bernard Bresslaw as an Indian. The worst would have to be Carry On England. Ken Connor couldn't carry the rotten thing by himself.

Loving and At Your Convenience are also good. The worst in the Sid James lot was Carry On Matron.

Oh god, I'd forgotten that.
It really is the worst one! :D

But - and this is hardly likely to bolster my argument in your eyes - a frame of footage from Carry On Cowboy appears in an episode of The Young Ones. (Though The Young Ones seems widely disliked by the Philistines who failed to watch it when it was first broadcast because they weren't yet born.)

Ha! Well, I suppose that makes it slightly better.

(I quite like The Young Ones. Parts of it anyway.)

The worst in the Sid James lot was Carry On Matron.

A contender, as are the afore mentioned Girls, Loving and At Your Convenience, as well as Dick and Henry.

Of all the carry on regulars Jim Dale probably had the best strike rate, I am struggling to think of a true turd he was in, though Again Doctor and Don't Lose Your Head were nothing to write home about.

That was great. I remember going to the cinema to see it when it first came out.

Jim Dale shooting people from the man holes.
