Carry On (franchise) - Wikipedia. The Carry On franchise primarily consists of a sequence of 3.

British comedy motion pictures (1. Christmas specials, a television series of thirteen episodes, and three West End and provincial stage plays. The films' humour was in the British comic tradition of the music hall and bawdy seaside postcards.

Producer Peter Rogers and director Gerald Thomas drew on a regular group of actors, the Carry On team, that included Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth, Hattie Jacques, Terry Scott, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Jack Douglas, and Jim Dale. The Carry On series contains the largest number of films of any British series, and it is the longest continually running UK film series, although with a fourteen- year break (1. Anglo Amalgamated Film Distributors Ltd produced twelve films (1. Rank Organisation made the remaining nineteen (1. Producer Peter Rogers and director Gerald Thomas made all 3.

All the films were made at Pinewood Studios near Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire. Budgetary constraints meant that a large proportion of the location filming was undertaken close to the studios in and around south Buckinghamshire, including areas of Berkshire and Middlesex. However, by the late 1.

• The versatile actress is a firm favourite of the man seeking a new generation of Carry On stars.
• EARLY CRUISING The earliest ocean-going vessels were not primarily concerned with passengers, but rather with the cargo that they could carry.

Snowdonia National Park, Wales, (with the foot of Mount Snowdon standing in for the Khyber Pass in Carry On Up the Khyber), and the beaches of the Sussex coast doubling as Saharan sand dunes in Follow That Camel. Background[edit]Carry On Sergeant (1. National Service; its title, the command commonly issued by army officers to their sergeants in the course of their routine duties, was in keeping with its setting. The film was sufficiently successful to inspire a similar venture, again focusing on an established and respected profession in Carry On Nurse. When that too was successful, further forays with Carry On Teacher and Carry On Constable established the series. This initial 'pattern' was broken with the fifth film in 1.

Carry On Regardless, but it still followed a similar plot to that of many of the early films—a small group of misfit newcomers to a job make comic mistakes, but come together to succeed in the end. The remainder of the series developed with increased use of the British comic traditions of music hall and bawdy seaside postcards. Many titles parodied more serious films, such as their tongue- in- cheek homages to James Bond (Spying) and Hammer Horror (Screaming!). The most impressive of these was Carry On Cleo (1.

Carry On Emmannuelle, inspired by the soft- porn Emmanuelle, brought to an end the original 'run'. The stock- in- trade of Carry On humour was innuendo and the sending- up of British institutions and customs, such as the National Health Service (Nurse, Doctor, Again Doctor, Matron and the proposed. Again Nurse), the monarchy (Henry), the Empire (Up the Khyber), the armed forces (Sergeant, England and the proposed.

Flying and Escaping), the police (Constable) and the trade unions (At Your Convenience) as well as the Hammer horror films (Screaming), camping (Camping), foreign holidays (Abroad), beauty contests (Girls), and caravan holidays (Behind), cruise holidays (Cruising), education system (Teacher) and others. Although the films were very often panned by critics, they mostly proved very popular with audiences.[1][2][3][4][5][6][7]A film had appeared in 1. Carry on Admiral; although this was a comedy in similar vein (and even featured Joan Sims in the cast) it has no connection to the Carry On series itself. The much earlier 1. Carry On London is also unrelated (though it coincidentally starred future Carry On performer Eric Barker).

The cast were poorly paid—around £5,0. In his diaries, Kenneth Williams lamented this, and criticised several of the movies despite his declared fondness for the series as a whole.[9] Peter Rogers, the series' producer, acknowledged: "Kenneth was worth taking care of, because while he cost very little [..] he made a very great deal of money for the franchise."[8]Filmography[edit]Unmade films[edit]Several other films were planned, scripted (or partly scripted) or entered pre- production before being abandoned: [1.

What a Carry On.., 1. Carry On Smoking, 1. The story revolved around a fire station, and various attempts to train a bungling group of new recruits. Carry On Spaceman, 1. See section below ↓. Carry On Flying, 1.

The complete script was included in the book The Complete A- Z of Everything Carry On. Carry on Dallas, 1. A planned spoof of the popular US series Dallas. A script was written and casting offers made to Williams, Connor, Douglas, Sims, Hawtrey and Dale. The production was abandoned when Lorimar Productions demanded a royalty fee of 2.

Carry On Down Under, 1. Watch The Holly Kane Experiment Mediafire. Gerald Thomas did some location scouting while on holiday in Australia and spoke to the Australian Film Commission. The production was abandoned when finance fell through. A complete script was written by Vince Powell and is included in the book Fifty Years of Carry On.

Carry On Spaceman[edit]Carry On Spaceman was to be released shortly after Carry On Regardless, in 1. It was scripted by Norman Hudis, and was to satirise interests in the Space Race from the Western world's point of view, and was to have been shot in black and white.[1. The cast was to consist of three would- be astronauts who constantly bungled on their training and their mission into outer space – most likely the trio would have been played by the trinity of Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, and Leslie Phillips that had been established in Carry On Constable. Attempts to revive Carry On Spaceman in 1. Denis Gifford, again by Hudis, failed, and the project was subsequently abandoned.

New Carry On films cast: Sheridan Smith could be in the frame. Casting is going to be key to the success of the new Carry On films says Jonathan Sothcott, the man tasked with the delicate job of bringing a British institution back to our screens. And while he won’t be attempting to sign up any Hollywood megastars, he is looking to bring in some faces that will be familiar to UK audiences.“What I want to do is get the mixture of well- loved faces from television and film that they had in the originals,” the producer tells Radio. Times. com. “Popular television actors, popular film actors – I don’t think we need big, big movie stars because the franchise is the star.”So who might be on Sothcott’s wish list? Well he’s pleased to have signed up writing duo Susan Nickson and Tim Dawson to pen the scripts for the first two instalments, Carry On Doctors and Carry On Campus. They are best known for BBC3’s long- running bawdy comedy Two Pints of Lager and a Packet of Crisps, which could provide something of a blueprint for the modern day Carry On films. And Two Pints, which first aired in 2.

Sheridan Smith, now a Bafta- winning actress with a string of acclaimed dramatic roles under her belt. Sothcott, who has worked with Smith in the past, is remaining tight- lipped about whether he’s considering her for a part, but admits he is a huge fan.“All I can tell you is I think Sheridan’s one of the best actresses in the country,” he tells Radio. Times. com.“Sheridan’s brilliant, I’ve done a picture with her, I adore Sheridan, I think she’s amazing.”Whether or not she’s yet been approached about the prospect, Smith certainly fits the bill. A popular and well- known face, and a versatile actor with a knack for comedy, she’s surely just the kind of star who could help give the Carry On films a new lease of life.
