"I love them, I’d say Carry on Abroad and Carry on Camping are my favourites.
What do you think Carry on Fabbing would be like. 
Oooh matron. "
I see you've already claimed the Kenneth Williams role  |

In reality I’m more Bernard Bresslaw. |

Bought the full box set during Lockdown1, they are shocking; seemingly funny in parts but I'm determined to plough through ALL of them.
The memories they bring back are priceless and wonderful though. |

Yes carry on abroad is the best one but rarely gets any praise.
I think I've stayed at the hells bells hotel.

For me the golden period was 64-74 with a great run of funny films...
Cleo
Cowboy
Screaming
Don't lose your head
Camel
Doctor
Up the kyber
Camping
Again doctor
Jungle
Loving
Henry
Convenience
Matron
Abroad
Girls
Dick
....
But carry on abroad is definitely the best. |

They are certainly of their day. |

There and to the left a bit |
They re-made Carry On Abroad as the Ate You Being Served film pretty much.
I don't have a favourite as such although Doctor/Nurse/Matron are probably up there and particularly like Camel just for the presence of the legendary Phil Silvers effectively reprising the equally legendary Bilko
I'm also fond of England which was made much later (76 I think) and doesn't have as many of the regulars in, so often gets overlooked but isn't bad |

If it wasn't for LWT and Hammer films then there would have been another Carry on film: Carry on the buses.
Imagine that.
Sid and Babs as driver and clippie
Joan Sims as canteen cook
Bernard Bresslaw as mechanic
Kenneth Williams as Depot manager
Kenneth Connor as nervous trainee driver
Frankie Howard as the know it all passenger
Charles Hawtry as a Vicar who keeps forgettiing to get off at his church
Jim Dale as a teacher who can never pass his driving test
Bob Monkhouse as inspector
Can you add to that list.
Sadly this can't be done with real actors and actresses as most of them are no longer with us. However someone could animate it and use voice artists instead. Big Finish do a lot of sci-fi spin offs like DR Who and Sapphire & Steel, so it's not that ridiculous an idea. Their antics might be.

At Your Convenience and Loving were quite underrated.
Abroad, Doctor and Up the Kybher are my favourites, with Cabby as the best black and white Carry on.
The less said about Emmannuelle, England and Colombus the better. Thankfully, Carry on London with Shane Ritchie never got made. |

"Was there a reaon that Sid James was typically called Sid in the films, unless he was a king or Roman leader?"
He was known as a rough diamond hence Sir Sidney Rough Diamond in Carry on up the Khyber. Also Vic Flange in Carry On Abroad.
But he was simply Sid, Britain’s unofficial king. |

"But he [Sidney James] was simply Sid, Britain’s unofficial king."
He was actually South African (born there when it was a British dominion), and a professional hairdresser. But somehow he managed to blag his way into acting and the movies. |

Carry on Star Wars would have been good. Babs as Leia, Jim Dale as Luke, Sid and Bernard as Solo and Chewie, Hawtrey as C3PO, Williams as Vader, Kenneth Connor as Yoda....its too good not to do it. Surely some impressionists and animators could knock something up. |

He also did a bit of boxing. |

He claimed to. His Wikipedia entry says, "Upon moving to the UK later in life, he claimed various previous occupations, including diamond cutter, dance tutor and boxer; in reality, he had trained and worked as a hairdresser."
All of which makes you admire his chutzpah... |
