Re: Let's Carry On.

Peter Butterworth met someone as a POW.. who and what significance did it have on his career?

just felt naming each of them one by one was rather superfluous tex. Mine is easier. Only have to name one man. Clue he was not one of the Carry On Gang but was involved away from the camera..

Re: Let's Carry On.

Had to do some research here and came up with Talbot rothwell, apparently he and Butterworth would entertain the prisoners together which had the added advantage of creating a diversion for attempted escapes!...Later a writer for several of the carry on films and also up pompei.

A rather macabre one...Who is supposed to have glimpsed Sid James' ghost in a dressing room mirror and been so disturbed he vowed never to play that venue again?

Recall reading about this. Forgotten who it was. Just a stab Morcombe or Wise?

Yes, it was Les Dawson, only the account I saw said James' face appeared and looked truly ghastly. The ghost or whatever it was is also supposed to have spoken to Dawson, but the comic would never disclose what was said.
