    Amanda Barrie was in Corrie as well

    wonder how many other Corrie actors appeared in Carry Ons !

    Apart from Kenneth Cope I can't think of any others in Corrie.

    Eastenders has a bit bigger list.

    Barbara Windsor
    Ian Lavender
    Ray Brooks
    Wendy Richard

    Bill Maynard is still going.

    Love to hear that.86 years old and still here.I had him down as dying of a heart attack aged 65-70.Watching him on Heartbeat he looked like he was at the end of his days.
    I hope he still has a relatively good quality of life in his advancing years.:)

    He has suffered a number of Strokes though. He has to use a mobility scooter or wheelchair to get about.

    That's a terrible burden to see your end of lifespan with.It's heartening to know he's still mentally with it though.

    Geoffrey Hughes (Eddie Yeats) had a small part in 'Carry On At Your Convenience', and so did Emmerdale's Shirley Stelfox.

    Another soap connection is Wendy Richard, who appeared in 'Matron' and 'Girls'.

    Brian Osborne 6 Carry Ons.
    Patricia Franklin 5 Carry Ons.
    Valerie Shute 5 Carry Ons.
    Jeremy Connor 4 Carry Ons.
    Larry Dann 4 Carry Ons.
    Angela Grant 3 Carry Ons.
    Leon Greene 3 Carry Ons.

    Oh er...............I do still enjoy a good Carry On film.

    Full of crude double entendres, one dimensional, stereotypical characters but they still tickle my funny bone!

    Kenneth Williams & Hattie Jacques in Carry On Matron in Carry On Doctor/Matron - priceless!:D

    Kenneth Williams to Hattie Jacques: 'You may not realise it, but I was once a weak man'.

    Hattie Jacques: Oh, don't worry, once a week is enough for any man'. :D:D

    Silly, inoffensive and funny IMHO!

    Great stuff, Carry On Doctor is my favourite Carry On and that's one of my favourite scenes.

    I had no idea that Windsor Davis was still alive! Seems to have retired though, according to IMDB he was last seen in an episode of My Family in 2004.

    is anita harris still alive :confused:

    Yes she is. Just been made bankrupt which is a shame. Still working steadily I think. I had a Saturday job 20+ years ago in a shop in South Kensington. It was just a little card/stationery shop but we used to get a few celebs. She used to come in. She was absolutely stunning. Tall, willowy, elegant and gracious.

    I remember some years ago Anita Harris used to turn up on the shopping channels flogging some exercise gizmo that you strapped to yourself and I think it gave you electric shocks......:o

    sad to see that she's hit hard times.......she used to be a pop star when I was a kid.....
