Carry On Doctor is my favourite ever film, love everything about it. Frankie Howerd's spot on performance, Jim Dale on the roof, quick guest spot from Dandy Nichols, the women patients giving Matron a blanket bath, the Invisible Man popping up. Excellent film
It was a wise decision inviting Frankie to be part of the cast.

Thank you Mr. Sirs. I am glad Carry On films are on television over the Easter break.
For some years Carry On Henry and Carry On Don't Lose Your Head were not shown on UK terrestrial television at all. It is good that they are now being broadcast more regularly. Well done ITV 3 for showing them more often.

I would like to see Carry On At Your Convenience on again. It has been shown on BBC 2 several times in recent years - usually early on Saturday evenings during May - and I am hoping that it will be brodacast soon.
Carry On legend Hattie Jacques and Carry On star Jim Dale are on television on Saturday 12.4.2014 and on Sunday 13.4.2014
Carry On legend Hattie Jacques and Carry On star Jim Dale are in The Plank now showing on Channel 5 (also from 12.35 am on Channel 5 +1 on Sunday 13.4.2014).
The Plank stars Eric Sykes and Tommy Cooper. It is followed on the same channel by the film Up The Chastity Belt starring Carry On legend Frankie Howerd (as mentioned in posting number 2684).
Carry On legend Frankie Howerd is on television on Friday, 18th April, 2014 and on Saturday, 19th April, 2014
Carry On legend Frankie Howerd stars in the film Up Pompeii which is being shown on ITV 3 on Good Friday, 18th April, 2014 from 12.40 pm to 2.20 pm (from 1.40 pm the same day on ITV 3 +1).
As mentioned in the last posting to this thread, Up Pompeii is also being shown on ITV 3 on Saturday, 19th April, 2014 from 7.55 am to 9.40 am (from 8.55 am the same day on ITV 3 +1).
For any readers who do not know it, Up Pompeii was based on the popular BBC television comedy series.
Completely randomly, I happened to catch 'Spying' on UK Gold last weekend.
It's definitely one of the best Carry Ons - great characters and locations, Babs in her first role (playing a slightly more innocent character than she usually did), and all the regulars on top form. It probably satirises that particular genre of films better than any other (well, OK, apart from 'Screaming') - although it's more Third Man than James Bond up until the end.
I always thought 'Regardless' was my favourite B&W Carry On, but I am not so sure now.

I agree, Birdsworth, Carry On Spying is a brilliant film. I think it is one of the best Carry On films. As you say, it has all the regulars on top form. Of all the black and white Carry On films, I believe that Carry On Spying and Carry On Cabby are the best.
Carry On Don't Lose Your Head - the thirteenth Carry On film - has just started on ITV 3 (it begins today on ITV 3 +1 at 7.05 pm and it will be shown again on ITV 3 tomorrow - Saturday 19th April 2014 - from 9.40 am and from 10.40 am on ITV3 +1).
