Without doubt this is the best of all the 'Carry on' films. Most of the team is here for this one, and the Sid James, Barbara Windsor on screen chemistry is at it's peak. For me the highlight is Terry Scott's wifes laugh, it had me in bits every time I heard it. Charles Hawtry is also superb as the nice man that always seems to be under Terry Scott's feet every time he turns around! If you going to buy any of the series, make sure this is first on you list.

Made in 1969, Carry On Campingbelongs to the Golden Years before the loveable double-entendres had been replaced by an almost nasty sleaziness. Pretty much everybody is present and 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 and 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 and 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
