Watched Loving yesterday, much better than I remembered and this one has the budgie in, I thought it was Convenience. Both films had poor endings and looked like the writers were running out of ideas. I agree both are in top ten for enjoyability, technically they aren't, but then hmm, Camping is technically poor, and all the post Khyber films really.

Perhaps the Carry Ons shouldn't be judged on technical merit at all, I'm thinking. Difficult for a technical bod like me to come to terms with but I think I'll have to redo my top ten. There's much to be said for ropey but hilarious and nostalgic for Brits/very British in humour over well made but not so, maybe such as Cowboy although Cowboy is very British and very good. Hmm...

Camping is one of my all time favourites - lot of saucy going-ons.

Hi I'm a newbie here. Love the Carry On films, and just finished watching Loving and wondered if someone could help me with a music title which is right at the end of the fims. It's an old classical piece played almost inaudibly, and I've been trying to find the soundtrack titles on the Internet, but failed so far. Can anyone help please?

Give us a kiss and I'll tell you.

Have compared these two and cannot see what the difference is, apart from one being £10 more.................the 16 disc and the 30 disc box set?

See Amazon product listing

Are you referring to this one as the other of the two? http://www.amazon.co.uk/exec/obidos/ASIN/B00R42UQF6/comedyguide-21/

If so, I believe it's just an older release, with the films squeezed together. The 30-disc set may be slightly higher quality.

Yes, and thanks for that Aaron. So, 30 discs "squeezed" into 16, must lose some quality as I have found when doing my DVDs.
Clearly worth the extra £10 for the later and probably better authored DVDs.

*EDIT* now I'm confused - I see the later one is the "squashed" one.

Ah! Okay, I'm with you now.

The earlier 30-disc set would have just been a fairly straight repackaging of the individual 30 releases. The later 16 disc set, they've actually put some time in to properly reauthoring the films as a single box-set release, which is also likely to be physically smaller. (Proper DVD companies can make higher capacity DVDs than you are likely to, so quality/space/compression issues are not quite the same.)

So you want to buy this: http://amzn.to/2BLwFE2 Then this: http://amzn.to/2CcXbY9

Er, OK yes, thank you again, but I think I will forgo the second recommendation.

However, what about the Christmas one? :-

They're great fun, but not quite in the same mould as the films. Columbus, I think, is much better than its reputation.

I did see Columbus many years ago and it didn't leave an impression - not like the others which are all memorable for one reason or another.....................or many.

In today's Daily Mail "Answers to correspondents" there was a question about working titles of planned Carry on films.

The following never saw the light of day.

Carry on smoking abut the fire service written by Norman Hudis.
Carry on flying about the RAF written by NH.
Carry on Spaceman written by NH scheduled to include Bob Hope and Bing Crosby
Later Bob Monkhouse and Dennis Gifford planned a Spaceman one too.
Carry on Escaping about a POW camp written by Talbot Rothwell.
Carry on again Nurse written by George Layton and Jonathan Lynn.
Carry on Down Under
Carry on Dallas written by Vince Powell.
Carry on Nursing written by NH
Carry on London about a chauffeur company.

Information provided by Robert Ross, author of the carry on companion.

I'm glad Carry on Spaceman didn't fly.Hope and Crosby unsuitable for a Carry on I think.Phil Silvers was in one and was just okish but it's unique British humour.
