Retrieved 4 July 2020.Begin your journey through the annals of Britain’s longest-running comedy film series with this 4-disc Blu-ray set featuring the first 4 films of the uproarious franchise – in high-definition for the first time worldwide. Carry On Sergeant (1958) The success of the Carry On series occasionally led to affectionate parodies of the series by other contemporary comedians:

Carry On Down Under was considered when, while on holiday in Australia, Gerald Thomas scouted locations and spoke to the Australian Film Commission about a potential film. The production was abandoned when finance fell through, and a complete script written by Vince Powell is included in the book Fifty Years of Carry On. 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), westerns ( Cowboy), and Hammer horror films ( Screaming!). The most impressive of these was Carry On Cleo (1964), in which the budget-conscious production team made full use of some impressive sets that had been created in 1960 for the Burton and Taylor epic Cleopatra (1963) but abandoned when production moved to Rome. Carry On Emmannuelle, inspired by the soft-porn Emmanuelle, brought to an end the original Carry On run. 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. Sheridan, Simon (2011).

Carry On Teacher (1959)

Tanya Gold (28 September 2007). "Infamy? They've got it". The Guardian. London . Retrieved 12 December 2010. In Carry On Loving ( 1970), Sid James and Hattie Jacques run a dubious marriage agency. The film also features Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey. Rogers and Thomas were responsible for all 31 films, usually on time and to a strict budget, and often employed the same crew — some of whom were also regulars on the James Bond series, such as Peter Lamont, Alan Hume, and Anthony Waye. Between 1958 and 1992, the series employed seven writers, most often Norman Hudis (1958–1962) and Talbot Rothwell (1963–1974). Anglo Amalgamated Film Distributors Ltd produced 12 films (1958–1966), the Rank Organisation made 18 (1966–1978), while United International Pictures produced one (1992). 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) The Carry On movies are without a doubt staples of British cinema, they are iconic with iconic gags, stars and they are wonderfully celebrated in this boxset. However, to the modern audience these movies are highly dated with a lot of racial and stereotypical viewpoints (particularly towards women) which simply are unacceptable in the present day and that does for me take away from these movies, but of course they weren't designed to be future proof.
