Carry On No. 23
5 May 2020
This is not to bad, not as good as the last ........Convenience', but still Ok. Some daft goings on in the hospital, with bungling thieves headed by Sid James trying to steal pills.

Apart from Sid the other Carry On regulars are :- Ken Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Hattie Jacques, Bernard Bresslaw, Terry Scott, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor, Bill Maynard, Patsy Rowlands, Valerie Leon, Margaret Nolan and Jacki Piper, Jacki was on her last, she was a late starter and only did 4, but she was a welcome addition to the team, if only for a short while, she had a god career in acting, retiring in 2012, but still with us, now aged 73.

Kenneth Cope was also on his last, he only did 2, this and .... Convenience', but he raised them a little, he has had a longer career than Jacki, retiring in 2009, he is now aged 89. There were a few actors who played small bit part roles, that have done a few,, whom you may not have heard of :- Michael Nightingale, who did 13 Carry Ons, plus 2 of the spin offs and the TV series 'Carry On Laughing', Brian Osborne who did 6, 1 spin-off film and the TV series, this was his first, Alan Harris, who did 5, Amelia Bayntun who did 5, usually as a nagging mother figure and Gwendolyn Watts who did 4, this was her last, she had a long career, starting in 1958, until 1995, mostly in small roles, sadly she passed away in 2000 aged 62. Valerie Shute also did 4, this was her last as well, but she only had a short career from 1969 until 1983, just 13 roles, mostly in Carry On's, 'Carry on Camping' was her first film, happily she is still with us, now aged 75.

Another actor who plated a small role and went on to do a few more was Jack Douglas, one of the most annoying actors ever, with his big shoulder twitch acting trait which brought attention, because he could not act.

Anyway, it was ok, not too much in the way of sex antics, which improved it a little, but still too much sexual innuendo, it was the 70's!
