Re: Carry On, Carry On's

Peter Rogers was uncertain in adding "Doctor" in the movie title, in fear that the makers of the Doctor in the House series would sue him. His wife (who owned copyright of the Doctor series) allowed him to, and was paid a percentage of the credit.

I didn't know this. I like Doctor In Trouble starring Leslie Philips, i laugh my socks off each time i watch it!

Re: Carry On, Carry On's

I have a new one. My colleague just told me this, she said she thinks it's Carry On Nurse, and Kenneth Connors character is a boxer who has an injured hand, his hand is bandaged up, my colleague says he had a real life hand injury and it was written into the film.

I'll have to google Round The Horne, i've never heard of it. In Carry On Camping Sid James had an old caravan where he and Babs would go to inbetween filming.

Re: Carry On, Carry On's

Round the Horne presumably was a sitcom? Yes surprises me too as Betty's laugh would have gone a long way...just like Sid's did.

Anybody have a new one?

Re: Carry On, Carry On's

Peter Butterworth was in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during WW2. He was shot down in 1940 and spent the rest of the war in German POW camps, one being Stalag Luft III, scene of the Great Escape. Also there was Talbot Rothwell, writer of many of the Carry Ons. Butterworth and Rothwell formed a double act in the camp to entertain the POWs and their act helped to mask the sounds of escape tunnel digging.

Very interesting, i never knew Peter Butterworth was a POW.

Re: Carry On, Carry On's

Round the Horne was a radio comedy. It had a humour style that was full of innuendo and double entendre, just like the Carry Ons. Kenneth Williams also starred in it.

Re: Carry On, Carry On's

As far as I know, Betty Marsden only appeared in Camping, and it has always surprised me that she didn't appear in more. I am not sure, but her involvement in Round the Horne may have ended by the time she made Camping--owing to Kenneth Horne's sudden death.

Re: Carry On, Carry On's

Sure did Nugs. I have plenty more trivia to come. Here is another from Camping.

Betty Marsden was terrified of riding the tandem bicycle while Terry Scott found the ride very painful as evidently he suffered haemoroids during filming. ha ha. Did you know that Nugs?

Haha! No i didn't know this! Haemoroids are painful enough, but to ride a bike with them.... Ouch!! Haha

Remember we watched it at the same time, opposite sides of the world but we still chatted through out! Haha.
