A poor turnout.

That's one of its good lines? I could build a fleet of Fokkers and fly one round the world in the time between that line being telegraphed and it being delivered.
Find me a Carry On joke that isn't telegraphed. The gags are so contrived, and that is part of the entertainment.
I find I enjoy some of the jokes in the way I enjoy an old trusted recipe. "But, but, it is I, Camembert... the Big Cheese!" is not subtle or unexpected but it is beautifully delivered and gets to me every time.

Would've picked Cleo had I seen this poll. I have fond memories of watching Carry On Girls in my younger years. Would like to see that again. They always show the same ones on TV, don't they? Dick, Khyber, Camping. They should wheel the more obscure ones out.

Cruising was on earlier this afternoon on ITV, and that doesn't seem to get shown often. I think I've only seen Sergeant on TV once.

"Don't Lose Your Head" was just on. Seemed to have a much higher budget than usual, it looked pretty good, especially the parts with the guillotine and the mob. Definitely funny, though a couple of the sequences are far too long. No Kenneth Connor, no Babs Windsor and Jim Dale is wasted as Sid James' sidekick but Joan Sims is fantastic and Kenneth Williams is on good form. By the way, Kenneth Williams would have made a great Robespierre in something if someone had thought of casting him in the role (Robespierre actually is in the film but played by Peter Gilmore, who is far too rugged and imposing).

People refusing to take Carry On films seriously >:(

I have the box set and will review them all once that seems like a good idea (perhaps never)

I was right 12 years ago and am still right
