Made in 1969 Carry On Camping belongs to the Golden Years before the loveable double-entendres had been replaced by an almost nasty sleaziness Pretty much everybody is present & correct if not politically Sid James is a likely-ish if slightly elderly lad persuading Joan Sims to join him at what he secretly expects to be a nudist colony Terry Scott is a put-upon suburban coerced into outdoor vacations by his ghastly horsey-laughed wife while Charles Hawtrey is the campest of campers who befriends them Kenneth Williams who alone makes this worth watching is gloriously ridiculous as head of a girl&s school Chayste Place with Hattie Jacques as Matron & Barbara Windsor as one of the 30-year-old fifth formers in their charge Technically it&s terrible stuff with Barbara Windsor&s flying bra laboured puns galore peeping tomfoolery punchlines visible two miles off "comedy" incidental music & a reactionary denouement in which they chase off a bunch of hippies Yet if you don&t chuckle at least half a dozen times during this however many times you&ve seen it there&s probably something wrong with you --David Stubbs ...

Carry On Don&t Lose Your Head parodies the adventures of the Scarlet Pimpernel with crinkly cackling Sid James as master of disguise the Black Fingernail & Jim Dale as his assistant Lord Darcy He must rescue preposterously effete aristocrat Charles Hawtrey from the clutches of Kenneth Williams& fiendish Citizen Camembert & his sidekick Citizen Bidet (Peter Butterworth) The Black Fingernail is assisted in his efforts to thwart the birth of the burgeoning republic by the almost supernatural stupidity of his opponents who fail to recognise the frankly undisguisable Sid James even when dressed as a flirty young woman What with an executioner who is tricked into beheading himself in order to prove the efficacy of his own guillotine it&s all a little too easy As usual no groan-worthy pun is left unturned or unheralded by the soundtrack strains of a long whistle or wah-wah trumpet This is pretty silly stuff even by Carry On standards with most of the cast barely required to come out of first gear & an overlong climactic swordfight sequence hardly raising the dramatic stakes Most of the humour here resides neither in the script nor the characterisation but in the endlessly watchable Williams& whooping nasal delivery (occasionally lapsing into broad Cockney) & the jowl movements of the always-underrated Butterworth --David Stubbs ...

In 1975&s Carry On England a mixed-sex anti-aircraft battery is set up during World War II by way of an experiment The sex is indeed pretty mixed although the drafting in of Patrick Mower & Judy Geeson rather demonstrates the need for at least some of the cast to be attractive in order to make this odd premise feasible For the most part of course it&s tits-out sex-comedy slapstick all the way but there&s a nicely ambivalent performance from Kenneth Connor who portrays the wartime British officer class as being pretty much bonkers a telling interpretation which Stephen Fry was to perfect years later in Blackadder Goes Forth The location is of course typically Carry On cheap-&-cheerful but its inevitable drabness together with the indistinguishable khaki uniforms tends to put a bit of a dampener on the adult-panto atmosphere that the best Carry Ons deliver The cast commendably manage to transcend this though so there&s still plenty of fun to be had --Roger Thomas ...
