This is my new favourite post on the BCG.

What did it topple?

Any other fans of Carry On Cabby?

I always think it's overlooked.

I must admit I've warmed to it immensely of late. I'm not sure it's one of my favourites yet, but I agree it probably deserves more positive recognition than it receives.

I think it's different to all of them, it's got a different tone to it.

My favourite 5

1. Up The Khyber
2. Abroad
3. Cabby
4. Doctor
5. Camping

My least favourite

1. Columbus
2. Emmanuelle
3. England
4. Jack
5. Loving

Carry On Cabby is a wonderfully warm film and contains one of the all-time great performances in a Carry On - that of Hattie Jacques as the down-trodden wife Peggy.

Cabby is highly underrated and deserves greater recognition.

Love the first 20 on my list

As the post title is best and worst not favourite then I will give a different list to my favourites.

1 Up the Khyber
2 Cleo
3 Doctor
4 Jack
5 Cowboy

All from a technical point of view, script, filming, acting, pacing. All above excellent and can't be a coincidence all had Kenneth Williams in and all but one Jim Dale.

Only the top two are in my top 5 faves, proving the Carry Ons are more about fun and humour and favourite charcters than anything else I think. Camping and Convenience are two of my favourites but they are terribly made. In Carry Ons it probably adds to the enjoyment.

Huge fan of the Carry Ons. I might shock a few people here but I did not like Up The Khyber at all, it struggled to entertain me and I would put it in my worst of category along with Jack, England, Emmanuelle and Columbus. Even though I thought those last two were poor I still watch them occasionally and enjoy them but not as much as my faves: Camping, Matron, Doctor, Again Doctor and At Your Convenience.

My favourite 5:
1. Carry On Abroad
2. Carry On Camping
3. Carry On Cruising
4. Carry On Loving
5. Carry On At Your Convenience

My least favourite 5:
1. Carry On England
2. Carry On Behind
3. Carry On Cleo
4. Carry On Cabby
5. Carry On Emmanuelle

I think:

1. Carry On Screaming!.

2. Carry On Up The Khyber.

3. Carry On Cleo.

4. Carry On Abroad.

5. Carry On At Your Convenience.

6. Carry On Doctor.

7. Carry On Cabby.

8. Carry On Spying.

9. Carry On Matron.

10. Carry On Dick.

The least faves are:

Carry On Columbus.

Carry On Emmannuelle.

Carry On England.

Carry On Jack.

Carry On Cowboy.

I do love Carry On Don't Lose Your Head, and Carry On Camping too.

Here's a few more of my favourites.

Carry On Loving
Carry On At Your Convenience
Carry On Girls
Carry On Constable
Carry On Doctor
Carry On Again Doctor
That's A Carry On
Carry On Dick

No particular order

Best

Worst
