For six years Sergeant Grimshawe has been a training sergeant but never the proud leader of a Star Squad. He accepts a bet from another sergeant that in the next intake, his last before retirement, his squad will pass out top. But when he’s lumbered with a motley crew of inductees, Grimshawe suspects he hasn’t a chance of winning the bet. Carry On Nurse (1959) Each of the four films - Carry On Spying ( 1964), Carry On Cleo ( 1964), Carry On Cowboy ( 1965) and Carry On Screaming! ( 1966) - has been completely restored in high definition, and comes with an original commentary from stars including Bernard Cribbins, Angela Douglas and Fenella Fielding.

Truly successful horror-comedies are very few and far between. Abbott & Costello Meet Frankenstein, Mel Brooks’ Young Frankenstein, An American Werewolf in London, Gremlins, Shaun of the Dead. And this … the Carry On team’s fabulous take on Hammer Horror. The secret potion, or elixir, that is needed to make them work is that as well as being extremely funny, they have to take the horror seriously enough to deliver some genuine shivers. It is a delicate balancing act to spoof something whilst still delivering the necessary thrills and chills … and it’s a right old scream watching Sgt. Bung “finger” the culprits here. Carry On Robin (1965), a spoof of Robin Hood starring the Carry On regulars. Rogers outlined the film and registered it with the British Film Producers Association but never pursued it any further. [14] Carry On Spaceman (1961), scripted by Norman Hudis and planned to be released shortly after Carry On Regardless. Satirising the Space Race, 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 trio of Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, and Leslie Phillips that had been established in Carry On Constable. Attempts to revive Carry On Spaceman in 1962 under Denis Gifford, again by Hudis, failed, and the project was subsequently abandoned. As usual, a lot of ignorance about cinema aspect ratios is on display. Every Carry On film was shot open matte, i.e. the whole 35mm frame was exposed but all the essential action took place in the middle. In cinemas the film was projected through an aperture plate which cut off the unwanted top and bottom of the image and projected the rest onto the standard "wide screen" which was 1.75:1 in the UK. Wide screens (i.e. wider than the hitherto standard "Academy Ratio" of 1.37:1) arrived in UK cinemas in the middle of 1953 and could be various ratios but after the introduction of CinemaScope wide screen standardised on 1.75:1 (in the UK, in the US they adopted 1.85:1 which simply meant that a bit more of the top and bottom of the frame was choppped off) . A typical circuit cinema had two ratios available, 2.35:1 ("Scope") and 1.75:1 ("wide screen"). The screen was a fixed height, with variable side masking. No other ratios were in normal use for general releases and all talk of 1.66:1 being an original theatrical ratio is bunkum. On many 16x9 tv's discs presented at 1.66:1 actually fill the screen due to overscan. Bright, Morris; Ross, Robert (2000). Mr Carry On – The Life & Work of Peter Rogers. London: BBC Books.

The men's surgical ward of the Haven Hospital is staffed by an energetic nursing team under the watchful eye of Matron. Their suty time is taken up not only with nursing, but in attempting to control the riotous "shower" of patients who are always up to some prank or other. They also have to contend with the amorous advances of the patients! Carry On Flying (1962), about a group of RAF recruits. Norman Hudis penned a script and the film got as far as pre-production before being abandoned. Jim Dale was to have had a starring role. Clips from several Carry On films are used in In The Movies It Doesn't Hurt (1975), a short film on laboratory safety for schools starring Bernard Bresslaw. [38] [39] Well I would think a more detailed picture would be better. Yes, obviously, a load of the appeal will be in the films being amusing, but that doesn't mean that it won't be nice to see a more detailed picture. If I do decide to get them sometime, I just hope that they've been done properly. Besides, why have a DVD resolution upscaled to 1080p when you can have 1080p resolution with Blu-ray?

HarperCollins. ISBN 0-00-718223-6.Carry On Sergeant (1958) is about a group of recruits doing National Service; its title, a 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 1961, 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.
