Unparelled! Unchangelled! If you need any statistic from the regime of the great Carry On films, you will undoubtly find it in Kevin Snelgrove's sparkling new book.
Alan Curtis (Carry On Henry and Carry On Abroad)

I cannot imagine a more detailed book of information covering the 50 years of Carry On films. A treasure trove of facts and figures to delight the growing number of fans these films attract. I heartily applaud this mammoth statistical undertaking. (Photo: Christine Ozanne and Author Kevin Snelgrove).
Christine Ozanne (Carry on Nurse)

What a good idea and a very interesting reference book indeed. The Carry On films are, as we know, an institution and have become without a doubt a very important part of our British Comedy heritage. This book is a tribute to the hard work and resourcefulness of the excellent production teams and performers. I am sure Sid would have enjoyed reminiscing through the pages of facts and figures, well done Kevin, what a great deal of work you have done! (Photo: Author Kevin Snelgrove and Valerie James).
Valerie James (Wife of Sid James)

A perfect book for those who need to know how many feet of film there are in Carry On Henry, or what percentage of Carry On films started production in the month of October. This book isn't just anal, it's completely bonkers. A must for quiz fanatics everywhere.
Nigel Planer (Carry On Columbus)

I am still reeling from the amount of information, facts and figures your book contains. It must be the most comprehensive work of it's kind. The information you provide on the cost of the productions is in itself quite staggering. Even converting to today's money you would be hard put to mount an end of the pier show. Of course I only had a very minor roles to play in these films, with cameo parts in Don't Lose Your Head, Henry and At Your Convenience, but how I enjoyed playing them. Your book reminded me of how many of these wonderful films were made and how much I loved watching them.
Leon Greene (Carry On Don't Lose Your Head, Henry and At Your Convenience)

I am amazed at the dedication, hours of hard graft and effort that has gone into compiling this book. Fans will read and enjoy. Carry On reading!
Heather Emmanuel (Carry On Again Doctor and Carry On Up The Jungle)

What a clever book - a fascinating feast of facts for all Carry On fans! I'm sure you will enjoy Kevin's book as much as I did. (Photo: Author Kevin Snelgrove and Jacki Piper with a copy of 'The Official Carry On Facts, Figures & Statistics').

Probably the most important Carry On fact, figure & statistic is that Kevin Snelgrove has researched his facts and figures meticulously, but his statistics leave a lot to be desired - and that is from someone who has seen him with the light on! Fascinating facts for any fan of the greatest film series ever made and mindboggling amusement for anyone who is discovering the Carry On's ... for the first time. (Photo: Marc Sinden and Author Kevin Snelgrove).

The Official Carry On Book of Statistics by Kevin Snelgrove is a cornucopia of information - large trivial - about one of this country's greatest, and certainly most long-running, comedy exports. Everything you could possibly wish to know is here. The miscellany ranges from the fascinating (stars' dates of birth and birthplaces), the odd (films worked on over a specific period), and the mundane (vehicle registration plates).
Kevin Snelgrove clearly knows his stuff, with basic lists such as stars and their Carry On appearances (broken down into number of scenes if you're interested), order of billing (in which the actors' popularity can be ascertained at a glance), and film locations (including distance travelled from Pinewood) easily the most interesting. Supporting actors are also given their due, with an extensive listing of pretty much everyone who has ever featured in a Carry On, even down to brief single appearances.
Sometimes, the facts are rather over-emphasised - such as a tally of Carry On films, TV shows and stage productions expressed as a list, as percentages, and again as a bar chart. It's easy to misinterpret some lists too, such as the ones for Big Three Scriptwriters and The Big Three Overall Scriptwriters, in which the same three writers have apparently differing scores.
But there's more than enough here to satisfy the most fact-hungry fan, with an especially exhaustive film-by-film listing at the back. On top of this, Snelgrove has assembled a great many Carry On actors to share their reminiscences, most of which shed new light on old stories, with almost all of them displaying huge affection for this iconic series.
Mark Campbell, Author of 'Carry on Films: The Pocket Essential Series'

I guess I am in a position to give you a quote on Carry On Figures, as I was one of the first actresses to bear mine for real in a film. The facts are: I loved being in the film, and working with the people I worked with, Kenny Connor and Sidney James were two of the nicest people I ever met, and I consider myself so lucky I had the chance to work with them. Statistics: those films will go on until there are no figures or statictics in the universe. They are DEFINITIVE, as all round escapism, and ENTERTAINMENT for all the family - and I'm not sure we'll ever have anything like them again.
Kevin has spent much time compiling this book, a true gem and a must for any Carry On fan!
Linda Regan (Carry On England)
~
Kevin's book bought back a hell of a lot of memories, and it made a very good read. My, oh my Kevin has done a lot of research that I would of never of thought of. So many of those wonderful characters that worked on the 'Carry On’s' films with me are no longer with us, but never to be forgotten the crowd artist, stuntmen and women, and of course the stars of the show that made them household names.
Nosher Powell (Carry On Dick)
~
Everyone will love your book. I only did 'Carry On Sergeant' as I was working so much in the theatre, but I still wish I'd done more, they are so enjoyable to watch.
Dora Bryan OBE (Carry On Sergeant)
~
This is an outstanding wee book with assets as plentiful as Mrs Pullitt's in their brief appearance in 'Carry On Matron'!
Madeline Smith (Carry On Matron)
~
For all those who love the Carry On films this book is a goldmine of information and can't fail to fascinate all who read it. To use Bernard's catch-phrase ..." I Only Asked" ... I think within the pages of this book lie many of the answers to the frequently asked questions about the Carry Ons and all who played a part in the successof the series.
Liz Bresslaw, Wife of Bernard Bresslaw (Appeared in 14 Carry On Films)
~
The Official Carry On Facts, Figures and Statistics is a great read. It is very well put together and a must read for Carry On Fans. I myself discovered so many facts I was not aware of although I was myself in Carry On Emmanuelle, playing the Doctor. Needless to say it was full of fun with Suzanne Daniel providing such a glamorous addition and Kenneth was at his element. I am glad that Kevin has put in so much details of all the films that the book will stay as a memorial for ever to all those involved in the series. I hope he will add on details of Carry On London as an addendum when the film is released.
Albert Moses (Carry On Emmannuelle)

Since watching Carry On Camping as a 10-year-old girl nothing since has ever seemed as funny. Terry Scott in his ridiculous long shorts (or were they short longs) ... Charles Hawtrey try just being ... well - Charles Hawtrey try and the inimitable Kenneth Williams being pursued by Hattie Jacques in his usual 'camp' manner ... Oh dear ... no pun intended ... As for double entendres ... they should just whip 'em out! I say, Carry on, Carry On films ... All carry on fans will enjoy this book!

The Official Carry On Facts, Figures & Statistics is extremely informative and interesting. A must for all Carry On fans!
In 2008 The Carry On Films celebrate their 50 year anniversary, having started way back in 1958. My first one was in 1968, Carry On Up the Khyber and led to me appearing in 5 others and a Christmas special. I never thought that 40 years on people would still have such fond memories of this fantastic, fun, film series and I feel great to have been a part of it.

Here is the answer to that nightmare where you are one question away from the million pounds and it's a 'Carry On' related poser. An in-depth study of this book will prepare you for this moment and you thought it was simply a load of useless information. I pity you.
Richard O'Brien (Carry On Cowboy)
~
Is it really 50 years since the first Carry On film, Sergeant in good old black and white, a truly classic film, which has stood the time. This fantastic book by Kevin, the shear time and effort to put together this minefield of facts and figures about the famous Carry On's. A must for all Carry On fans and people wanting to know about them. Carry On reading!

I read and enjoyed the book. There was so much in it that I never knew about! I was a Supporting artist for 32 years and worked on over 800 productions but it was always fun to work on the Carry Ons ... I was always made to feel welcome by all the cast and crew and when I got to know Sid and Bernie, I'd sit in with them and play poker in between takes. I got to work with Babs (EastEnders) some years later and she was still nice. The films I worked on were: Camel, Khyber, Henry, Convenience, Abroad and Dick.
Harry Fielder (Supporting actor in 6 Carry On Films)

I really enjoyed reading this book. It answers all the questions a Carry-On fan could possibly want to know and the little personal anecdotes from the cast are very amusing. It is a very welcome addition to any film-buff's library. It really is the definitive Carry-On reference work. Kevin has obviously been very diligent in putting together so many facts and figures.

When compiling my 'The Complete A-Z of Everything Carry On', I found Kevin's book an extremely valuable source of reference. Kevin has completed a sterling job in assembling a myriad of facts and figures about the Carry On films.
Richard Webber, Author of 'The Complete A-Z of Everything Carry On'
~
What an amazing piece of research and information, I suppose people do want all that knowledge somewhere. How gob smacked Kenneth Williams would have been if he could know there was such a tome as yours going to be written in the future!
The great skill of the production team of the 'Carry On' films was that they were amazingly clever at casting. They chose people of personality who were very quick worker's and fine comedians in their own right.
Rosalind Knight (Carry On Nurse and Carry On Teacher)
~
I would say about my experience of working on the Carry on Columbus film was that it was such an enormous privilege and honour for a girl of my age then to be working with some of the best comic geniuses of our time. And also to be doing a film that was such a huge part of British comedy history. All Carry On fans should read this book.
Holly Aird (Carry On Columbus)

It made my day when Kevin asked me to write the forward to this book ‘The Official Carry On Facts, Figures & Statistics’. The highlight of my career was appearing in the Carry On’s. I did eight pictures spanning twenty-one years (1971-1992) - a big chunk of my life.
We could never have dreamt that the characters created in the films would still be popular some fifty years on, our director Gerald Thomas was the best ever; the whole team were competent, professional and great fun to work with.
I feel that if anyone deserves a knighthood it is Peter Rogers for his contribution to the British film industry. In his ninety’s he still has his office at Pinewood Studios.
I still love watching the Carry On’s on television, they still make me laugh and long may it be so. Believe it or not the films were all made in the record time of six weeks. We all enjoyed them so much it was like playtime at school! Even though most of the team are gone now, they will live on forever on the screen.
Kevin has done a brilliant job compiling this book - rather him than me as wht do I know about statistics? Other than 38-24-36 – Tee Hee!
I am sure this book will be successful, so read on, and as we go into the studios, on the set, behind the camera and action.
So Carry On reading, I hope you enjoy the book. (Photo: Author Kevin Snelgrove and Jack Douglas with a copy of 'The Official Carry On Facts, Figures & Statistics').

Carry On and celebrate 50 years! Three books celebrate a British institution
By Harris Dee
No Laughing Matter: How I Carried On', by Norman Hudis
HE'S 87 and you've probably never heard of him.
He wrote scripts for episodes of The Saint, Hawaii 5-O, Buck Rogers and The Man From Uncle, all smash hit TV series.
But what he's more famous for is the writer of the first six Carry On films - that typically English film genre of the double entendre and not so double entendre.
Norman Hudis has now written his autobiography, No Laughing Matter: How I carried on', to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the Carry On' films.
And if you are a Carry On anorak who likes nothing better than to slip into a hardback (oooo matron!) there are two other books to help you pass the evenings in the run-up to spring.
First, Norman Hudis who for the first time has revealed his secrets about the stars from the series and how he became the master of the comedy big screen because Carry On still has a big following around the world, and is still being shown weekly on digital TV.
Hudis is very proud of his connections. He moved into Carry On after great success writing for the stage and screen and "wallowed in the instant riotous success and all it brought me, all around the world".
It was when he started working for himself that producer Peter Rogers asked him to write Carry on Sergeant' which would go on to epitomise British comedy for decades. This was followed by Carry on Nurse', Teacher', Constable', Regardless' and Cruising'.
The Official Carry On Facts, Figures and Statistics', by Kevin Snelgrove
For a very Brit comedy' Carry On Nurse still holds an American record - running for a whole year at a Los Angeles cinema. Nurse in fact came after the first, Sergeant, and was written in just ten days: A work takes as long to write as it takes..' The first four of the scripts were in fact aimed at towering British institutions, with the audience needing no reminder of the ready-made comic aspects'.
Public familiarity with the subject was everything, or at least desirable. Well meaning people could not grasp that we'd have to spend time at the start of Carry on Stock Exchange explaining the unfamiliar market before we could make fun of it.' Carry on Angling promised to be rather static: someone falls in the water - then what?' For the first time Hudis tells us of two couldabeens' that finished up as neverwases' written just in case he was asked to come back and write another film. Carry On Under the Pier If Wet', celebrating two formidable British institutions, the seaside concert party and the boarding house. And Carry On Shylock Holmes': I would have turned the Doyle images on their heads.' Hudis gives frank opinions about the Carry On stars like Ted Ray, Joan Sims, Hattie Jacques, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor (a giant comedy talent') and Kenneth Williams. And of his later time in Hollywood, among others, Elvis and Joan Crawford.
As the bishop said to Bach: "Well I'll be fugued" (ooooo, no matron!), you can get a real insight into this delightful man, a giant of his industry who nobody remembers!
AT the same time we have The Official Carry On Facts Figures and Statistics' by Kevin Snelgrove.
Such crazy facts as: there were 20 (really?) Carry On television programmes broadcast as well as the films, some as Christmas specials but 13 in 1975 alone, while Kenneth Connor appeared in most (18 or 90 percent), followed by Jack Douglas (wu-fwhey!) on 17 and Barbara Windsor 15.
There were also three stage shows - Carry on London', Carry on Laughing with the Slimming Factory' and Wot a Carry On In Blackpool'.
Every film is detailed with technical data, stars and production staff, while some even have details of where each scene was shot.
More amazing are details of what the films cost to make - from just £74,000 for Sergeant in 1958 to £2.5m for Columbus in 1992.
And the wages paid to the stars seem like peanuts today - a total of just £10,985 for Sergeant while the highest were only £50,000 for Follow That Camel' in 1967 and Behind' in 1975 due to payments of £30,000 each to Phil Silvers and Elke Sommer.
There are even all the vehicle registration plates seen in the films, kissing scenes, the number of people cast, when films were started and finished production .. the list is endless. So stop messin about' and go and get your copy now, matron!
This is a brilliantly researched compilation of information that will have Carry On fans rolling in the aisles (ooooh, I say!) with every conceivable statistic you could wish for, well almost, and anecdotes and memories from some of the actors.
Author Kevin Snelgrove was born in Frome and is considered one of the country's leading experts on Carry On films.
AND finally we have the official Carry On Quiz Book'.
It contains 1,000 questions covering every feasible subject, such as the films, the actors, behind the cameras, actors birthdays, movies' release dates, locations and catchphrases.
As the sleeve notes say: "You could end up in hospital screaming for the saucy nurse and ending up with the grumpy old matron."
Oh, and there are answers too.
Infamy, infamy they've got it in for me! Oooh, matron.. A-har-har-har (cue Sidney James laughter..) No Laughing Matter: How I Carried On', by Norman Hudis, published by Apex Publishing Ltd (paperback) on March 24 to coincide with the 50th anniversary of the first Carry On film, £7.99.
The Official Carry On Facts, Figures and Statistics', by Kevin Snelgrove, published by Apex (hardback), £9.99.

All, and more, than you wanted to know about the films that became cult classics, and spawned stage and TV spin-offs. Want to know the furthest distance travelled for location filming (the wilds of Snowdonia) or whether custard or cream was used in the slapstick "custard" pies? It's all here. Why does Sid James score more than Terry Scott? Ooh matron - see page 83.

CARRYING ON A GREAT BRITISH TRADITION
One of the grand old institutions of the British film industry is 50 years old this year.Production on Carry On Sergeant started on March 24 1958 and it was first screened just a few months later in the August.
It was the first of the 31 Carry On films produced by Peter Rogers which gained a worldwide reputation for the troupe of actors who appeared in them regularly and the scripts packed full of sauciness and double entendres.
"It's basic seaside postcard humour - very British," said Kevin Snelgrove, who lives near Bath and who has just completed The Official Carry On Facts, Figures & Statistics to coincide with the golden jubilee celebrations.
Kevin saw his first Carry On film, Camping, when he was nine and fell in love with them instantly.
As he grew up, he acquired more and more and eventually devised a Carry On board game.
Pinewood Studios were initially very interested in this, although it never came to anything, but he was invited to one of the Carry On conventions that are organised there regularly.
That was in 1999.
"There was a question and answer session with actor Jack Douglas and I asked him a question which seemed to stir up a lot of interest with the audience," said Kevin.
"I had some material left over from what I'd collected for the game and I decided to do something completely different from the ten or so books that have been written about the Carry On films. I just wanted to contribute to this great film series."
He became a member of the British Film Institute in London and used to go up and study the boxes of scripts and production notes allocated to each film.
"Peter Rogers, the producer, also sent me 18 post-production scripts from his office at Pinewood so I could study them in my own time."
This was a great help. Kevin had to fit in his research around his full-time work with people with learning disabilities and his family life. He lives with his wife and two children in Frome.
The book took him three and a half years and involved painstaking research.
He played his DVD collection of the films over and over again to uncover all sorts of fascinating facts, from the registration numbers of various cars used in films to the order of star billing.
He has unearthed a large number of fascinating facts.
That first film, Carry On Sergeant, for instance, made its money back within two weeks of opening in London.
It had been made for just £74,000, that's the equivalent of £984,200 today, still a remarkably small budget when compared with the multi-millions that films cost these days.
Indeed all 31 films were made for just £6.5million.
One of the reasons for this was that they were made in a very short time and the cast members were not paid very much.
"In 1962 Peter Rogers offered all the main actors a percentage of the films' box office takings but they turned it down and went for a payment of £5,000 each per film," said Kevin.
"Kenneth Williams later told him it had been a big mistake not to accept his offer."
Williams appeared in more of the films than anyone else - 26 in total - and he is Kevin's favourite character.
He chose a typical pose of the actor for the front cover of his book. Appearing with Williams is another perennial Carry On face, Charles Hawtrey. He was the favourite of Kevin's late brother.
Apart from all the statistics and facts, he also approached around 60 of the actors who have appeared in the films for their memories and thoughts on his book, and received replies from 45 of them.
Nicholas Parsons said: "Appearing in a Carry On film was like working for a family. Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas (the director) had assembled a group of highly talented comedy performers, who starred regularly in these films.
"They all knew one another, understood each other's timing, and a great camaraderie existed between them. They worked at speed to get everything filmed in time and within very strict budget limits.
"A newcomer took a little time to adjust, but it was an enjoyable experience being in one of these films."
Dora Bryan only appeared in the first film.
"I only did Carry On Sergeant because I was working so much in the theatre, but I still wish I'd done more, they are so enjoyable to watch."
The book has two forewords, one by Alan Hume, who worked as a cameraman on 16 of the films, and the other by actor Jack Douglas.
He said appearing in eight Carry On films was the highlight of his career.
"We could never have dreamt that the characters created in the films would still be popular some 50 years on. Our director Gerald Thomas was the best ever, the whole team were competent, professional and great fun to work with," writes Jack Douglas.
According to Alan Hume, Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas were a very strong team.
"None of these 30 Carry On films were ever over schedule or over budget, a unique achievement in the unpredictable business of film production.
"Every day was a pleasure to be there, and it was the happiest, funniest film set I ever worked on. Often there would be hilarious laughter behind the camera at the antics going on in front of it."
There have been moves in recent years to revive the Carry on formula but Kevin Snelgrove believes that very special performers would be needed to make any new film a success.
"When Carry On Columbus was made 14 years ago, only a few of the original actors were in it. The others were comedians, not comic actors. That's the difference."
His book is published by Apex Publishing Ltd tomorrow (March 21) and costs £9.99.

Carry on remembering Joan
By Tom King
Joan Sims in a famous scene from the Carry On series
IT is time once again to pay tribute to Joan Sims, Essex's greatest contribution to film comedy. This month marks the 50th anniversary of the first Carry On film - which went on to become the most successful comedy series in British cinema history.
Carry On Sergeant appeared in 1958, and was so successful a follow-up, Carry On Nurse, was hurried into production in the same year. Joan made her series debut in that film, as the perky nurse Stella Dawson.
The Laindon actress immediately joined the immortals. Her character was responsible for one of the best-remembered scenes in any Carry On.
The celebrated moment involved an overbearing patient, "the Colonel", played by Wilfred Hyde White. Nurse Dawson finds her revenge by sticking a plastic daffodil deep into a part of the Colonel where daffodils don't normally grow.
The scene was immediately identified as the perfect symbol for the cheerful vulgarity of the Carry On films.
It became such an icon the film company imported two million plastic daffodils from Japan to promote ensuing Carry Ons.
Joan went on to appear in 24 of the comedies. Only one other performer, Kenneth Williams, exceeded that record, with a total tally of 26 appearances.
Joan also broke a Carry On record, achieving the greatest unbroken run of performances (from Carry On Cleo in 1964 to Carry On Emmanuelle in 1978).
In terms of span of years, she also again came in "just under" Kenneth Williams - the sort of double entendre you have to treat with care when talking about Carry On films. Williams appeared in the series over a period of 21 years, Joan just over 20 years.
All these figures appear courtesy of a new book released by the Essex publisher Apex to celebrate the 50th anniversary.
To call the Official Carry On Facts, Figures and Statistics exhaustive would be like calling Sid James's smirk suggestive - it understates the truth considerably.
The book contains everything any Carry On lover could ever wish to know in a lifetime of revisiting the films, right down to the numberplates of the cars appearing in front of the camera and details of the stars' birthdays.
One statistic missing, though, is the number of performances Joan Sims gave in her Laindon home-town.
The acting started early. Born and raised in Laindon station, where her father was station master, Joan started her career with an unusual audience - train passengers.
In her autobiography, she recalls giving impromptu performances on the station platform as the trains pulled in and out. The commuters, no doubt glad to break the monotony, watched the little actress with amusement.
"Even then," she recalled, "I realised I raised laughs more easily than tears."
She cut her teeth in amateur drama at home in Essex, before training at RADA and moving on to the professional stage in London.
Throughout her career, the running gag about Joan - who specialised in wannabe roles - was "she has ideas above her station".
When they sent Joan the script for Carry On Nurse, Carry On producer Peter Rogers, and director Gerald Thomas, already recognised qualities in Joan that were ideally matched to their strain of humour.
She could do stiff upper lip (Carry On Up the Kyber), scheming (Carry On Cleo), cheeky (Carry On Nurse), sexy (Carry On Teacher), pretentious (Carry On Screaming), sexually frustrated (Carry On Camping), or all these things rolled into one (Carry On Up the Jungle).
Every script managed to introduce her inimitable trademark, the Joan Sims giggle.
Perhaps her best-remembered appearance was as Lady Ruff-Diamond, the memsahib married to Sid James in the days of British Imperial India.
It was in Carry On Up the Khyber she gave vent to a line that is probably better remembered than any other Carry On joke.
As revolting tribesmen bombard the British governor's quarters with artillery fire, the Ruff-Diamonds demonstrate their stiff British upper lip by staging an elegant dinner party.
A well-placed shell brings the ceiling down on to the dining-table. Lady Ruff-Diamond emerges from the rubble and dust, stiff upper lip intact, with the line: "Oh dear, I think I'm getting a bit plastered".
The Carry On films lost their way in the mid Seventies, culminating in the dismal flop Carry On England. Joan, like other regulars, switched her talents to television.
She turned in some fine comic performances in shows like Only Fools and Horses, but nothing else achieved the world-wide popularity of the Carry On films.
On Joan's death in 2001, her Carry On colleague Barbara Windsor summed up her talent and her contribution to the legendary series. "To me she was the last of the great Carry Ons.
"She was there at the beginning, she was there near the end.
"Her talent was wonderful; she could do any accent, dialect; she could dance, sing, play dowdy and glam."
Then, in a final tribute to Joan's best known feature, she added: "We laughed all the time, and when Joan was around, we giggled".

FIVE QUESTIONS FOR ... KEVIN SNELGROVE
Kevin Snelgrove An expert on the Carry On films, Kevin Snelgrove will be signing copies of his book, The Official Carry On Facts, Figures & Statistics (Apex Publishing, £9.99), tomorrow at Waterstone's Bristol Galleries.
* Which is your favourite Carry On film?
Carry On Up The Khyber [1968] and Carry On Screaming [1966] are people's favourites, but I think Carry On Camping [1969] is one of the best. A lot of the main cast were in that film.
* Don't you think they were formulaic?
Not really. The first five or six films were written by Norman Hudis, and then in 1963 Talbot Rothwell took over, and his was a different style of writing. I think Carry On Girls [1973] was the last good one; after that it did go downhill a bit with Carry On England [1976] and Carry On Emmanuelle [1978]. Then the big 14-year gap to Carry On Columbus [1992], which was a flop.
* Did you fancy Barbara Windsor when you were a boy?
I think everyone did. When her bra was pulled off in Carry On Abroad [1972], I think any 12-year-old would have looked and gone 'wahaay'.
* Weren't the Carry Ons a bit sexist?
In this day of political correctness you can look back at most stuff that was made in the 1960s and 1970s and say it was sexist. We're all afraid to say boo to a goose now, I don't think we've changed for the better.
* Do you have any views on the rumoured Carry On London film?
It's been in the pipeline since 2003. We'll have to judge it when it comes out. I'm dubious as to whether it'll work. The Carry Ons are probably best left where they are.
* Sat, Waterstone's Bristol Galleries, 11A Union Galleries, Broadmead, Bristol, 1pm, free. Tel: 0117 925 2274. http://www.waterstones.com
