Product Description

In 1971 when Carry On at Your Convenience hit our screens the series had long since become part of the fabric of British popular entertainment Never mind the situation the characters were essentially the same film after film The jokes were all as old as the hills but nobody cared they were still funny But it&s just too easy to treat them as a job lot of postcard humour & music hall innuendo This tale of revolt at a sanitary ware factory--Boggs & Son what else?--certainly chimed in with the state of the nation in the early 1970s when strikes were called at the drop of a hat Here tea urns demarcation & the company&s decision to branch out into bidets all wreak havoc Kenneth Williams as the company&s besieged managing director Sidney James & Joan Sims give their all as usual but it&s the lesser roles that really add some lustre Hattie Jacques as Sid&s budgerigar-obsessed sluggish put-upon wife & Renee Houston as a superbly domineering battleaxe with a penchant for strip poker remind us that in the hands of fine actors even the laziest of caricatures become real human beings --Piers Ford
