Re: Let's Carry On.

It certainly was Joanie staffslad. To my knowledge the only RADA graduate Carry On member. Tho would not be surprised if Kenneth Williams also was one.

As for your posting. Had to have been a cockney I am thinking. To have corrupted that word. The only cockney I can think of was Sid. Unless it is Bernard Bresslaw.

It was Bernard Bresslaw. The catchphrase came from his appearances in the very popular 50s sitcom The Army Game. Sid James, although strongly associated with London and having a cockney accent, was actually a South African. Surprisingly, Kenneth Williams didn't go to RADA. He was always disappointed that he wasn't considered for more serious acting roles.

Regarding Joan Sims, she imo was the best actress in the Carry On series. She was most closely associated with comedy, but was also a very fine dramatic actress. Try to catch her in an episode of the 80s series Ladykillers where she played Amelia Dyer, the Victorian era baby farmer and serial murderess, where her performance is chilling and light years away from her Carry On work.

I think that was Joan Sims.


Which Carry On star had a catchphrase "I only arsked" which was used at least once in the series, but was actually popularised from their appearances in an earlier TV series.

In 1946, X first applied to RADA, the audition was unsuccessful. X did succeed in being admitted to PARADA, the academy's preparatory school, and finally, on the fourth attempt, X graduated and trained at RADA. X graduated from RADA in 1950..

Which Carry On member is this.
