Carry On... Page 6
A discernible chink there which may be open to exploitation at a later date. Fnaar, fnaar.

£100,000 and no twix?
>> Do you take cheque?
£100,000 is more like what I'm thinking of, yes. 
Direct bank transfer only though. Like I say, I do love Carry Ons.
(We're probably getting a little off topic here now. Even though strictly speaking it is discussing Carry On merchandise...)

I was going to post that, but noticed: "Sorry this item is temporarily out of stock. Order now and we will despatch as soon as it is available."
I might just have a punt at that when sober !

Right, I'll just find a bank account. 
I'm a bit iffy about the Carry On films. I've seen a few and they've all been rather a bit tedious, but I did love Carry On Screaming. Camping was alright, but I did think Up The Khyber was overrated.
They seemed to be on TV all the time when I was a child, so I guess I've seen and enjoyed most of them. But I tried to watch Khyber last year and had to turn it off, so perhaps they don't work for me now.
I have the feeling the quality declined in a big way as the films went on, to the point where they tried to compete with the British sex films in the 70s with ...England and ...Emmanuelle, the latter of which is truly awful.

Yes, after Sid James' death they did go down that route. Pity really, but that's the way the appetite for those kind of films was going.

Do you like any of those cheeky, smutty comedies? Are You Being Served?, perhaps? Up Pompeii!, the Confessions films?

The scene where there are eating dinner as the place is bombarded is pure class.

Up the Chasidery* Belt is great
Aaron will correct my spelling
I can't watch them and think they're hugely overrated - especially by people being ironic. Carry On Screaming is the exception.

Love that sequence. Even if I didn't like the rest of the film, it'd be worth it for that.

Chastity.

Funnily enough (or not), that's probably my least favourite of the lot.

What is Aaron's view on this masterpiece?
I seem to spot new jokes to groan at everytime I see yet another umpteeth repeat of a Carry-On film. As already mentioned they were such a bunch seasoned pros, Charles Hawtrey was doing this kind of stuff with Will Hay before the war. Always thought Joan Sims was the most versatile as she could do mumsy, battle axe, vamp and floozy with very little effort.
