I have never in my like seen a Carry On movie
Thore movies are simply unknown in this country. Is that just us (like the Doctor Who thing), or are the Carry On movies mainly known in the UK?
Yes...the 'Carry On...' movies are very much a British institution...I doubt the comedy translates very well to other countries...
I can recomed the TV-series "Nobel" from .... you know what country. The seven part thriller stars Aksel Henie (Headhunters, Hercules, The Martian, 24: Live another day) and the themes are our war effort in Afghanistan, diplomacy, oil and foreign aid. Henie plays a special forces soldier.
The series won this year's Prix Europa for the best European TV series this year and it's sold to a large number of countries. Highly recomended!
Agreed, it's great. No disrespect to Harry H. Corbett but would it have been a better film if Sid James had played the lead? He had a heart attack shortly before filming so was replaced by Corbett.
Carry on Screaming is my favourite 'Carry on...' movie as well...I actually think it works better for not having Sid in the lead role...Harry H. Corbett was a FAR better actor and adds nuances to the role that Sid couldn't...
I like pretty much every 'Carry on...' movie though ;%
Agreed.
I don't particularly care for Sid James which is probably why I like 'Screaming' and Harry H Corbett in it.

I don't think they travel well. It's just double entendres,innuendo and slapstick ... A bit like Great British Bake Off )

I also think it's better with Harry H. Corbett, and he was a better actor than Sid.
Sid's heart attack also explains why he played most of his part in the next Carry On film in which he appeared, Carry On Doctor, while lying in bed (which fitted nicely into the plot). Frankie Howerd had the more active part, while Kenneth Williams & co did what they usually did.
I don't think Screaming would have been better with Sid, just different.
I just saw the season finale of Nobel (see earlier post) and I loved it! Who would have guessed the European competitor to Homeland would come from this country? Not me.
I'm really enjoying " Westworld" , I think I've worked out a few story lines and what

Nothing came of it.

I've got Westworld on series record - I'll watch them all when they are all recorded...I'm about to start the first series of The Man In The High Castle - my mate loved the book and he said the series was pretty decent...
The eagle eyed (or Norwegian ) viewer may have noticed Ingrid Bolsø Berdal playing the outlaw Armistice in Westworld. She was considered in the role of Madeleine Swann in SPECTRE.
I'm hoping to catch The man in the high castle at some point, as I love these

Same old complaint from me this year .... I'm a Celebrity get me outta here !
I only know about four of them ) it should really be " I'm a minor TV personality, trying
To revive my career, get me outta here" on the format, there was a hell of a lot of padding
In last night's show. In fact I didn't even watch the end of it.

I also read ( somewhere ) it has a huge budget for a tv show, with plenty of fan theories concerning

sir Miles is correct ,the carry on films would never translate into humour in non British tv , "frying tonight" DR Prod, Dan Dan The lavatory man , you cant beat that ) )
Im watching THE BRIDES OF FU MANCHU at the moment starring the wonderful Christopher Lee, and the one and only Burt Kwouk ,

brilliant, with a big reveal !
It's illegal to sell them...not to own one...yet
Haven't watched Westworld yet - have them all on the hard drive...looking forward to watching this series though -{
I loved it, the three old gits back together again, with some beautiful
Photography. -{
I am probably in a minority here but I cannot stand this trio of self indulgent idiots.
You're not alone, believe me.
