Liz Fraser is a favorite of mine from The Avengers episode, "The Girl from AUNTIE."

The cartoonist Moose Allain suggested on Twitter recently that if the Carry On films were played straight, without the mugging and cackling, they would actually be tragedies. The script for Carry On Camping actually reads like Pinter in places.
- I've been thinking, we ought to try Devon again this year. We had such a marvellous time there last time.
- I've been thinking, too, darling. That marvellous little camping site near Stoats Hollow. Do you remember?
- Harriet, please listen to me.
- I am listening. What a funny thing to say.
- I've been thinking about this holiday, and I was wondering if possibly, just once, w- w-we might go abroad somewhere. Abroad?
- Camping?
- Oh, nothing so luxurious as that. I thought we might... we might rough it in some four-star hotel.
- Oh, no. No, no, no, no. You wouldn't like that. Sleeping in strange beds, eating oily food and using all those peculiar toilets.
- The toilets we have to dig out at camp aren't exactly the last word.
- Oh, but they're all ours.

Let's hear it for Angela Douglas, a "Carry On" ingenue cutie I've now seen in two of the movies. (Khyber, Cowboy)
I also know Angela D. from an Avengers episode in which she plays a witness being protected by Steed. She actually utters Austin Powers' "Groovy, baby," nearly 30 years beforehand.

I was looking for the Camping quotes where Mr Fiddler is charging them a "parnd" for everything but not on imdb.
Found this though, always makes me laugh.
Mrs. Fussey: " Joan may think you're a gentleman but personally I've got sore misgivings."
Sid Boggle: "You ought to put some talcum powder on them."
Which one is that from?
They sure get a lot of mileage out of words like "it," "them," and "off."
That particular exchange is from Carry On Camping.
I have seen quite a few of these films and most of the ones I've seen were highly enjoyable (I tried watching Camel, but the gags I saw in that one fell flat with me with the exception of the bloomers on the flagpole). I still need to see more of the early films (of those, I've only seen Cabby and Screaming) and haven't seen any of the ones after Carry On Matron, and from what I've heard of those films, I'm thinking I might be better off. Of the hot actresses, I definitely liked Imogen Hassel the best (it's a shame she didn't do more after Loving), though honestly I prefer Joan Sims as she was not only good-looking when the role called for it, but she was also an extremely versatile actress (also see her voice work in the original version of Richard Williams' The Thief and the Cobbler, which also features Carry On favorite Kenneth Williams).

I saw a recent 10 min interview with her. She remarried after she nursed Kenneth M, and also says shes been unbelievably lucky to find two soulmates when many people never find one.

In the meantime, on everyone's sayso, I picked up 3 double feature DVDs from the local library and have every intention of watching Carry On...Cabby...Jack...Cleo...Nurse...Spying...Sergeant over the next fortnight.
I was delighted to discover that Carry On Nurse was scored by Bruce Montgomery, also known as Edmund Crispin, who wrote the great Gervase Fen detective novels.

I don't cringe or intone 'yuk' to Suzanne Danielle in her panties:
Well, she was very nice, and such a crime that when she did her Doctor Who stint (Destiny of the Daleks, Tom Baker) she was encased head to foot in plastic and nylon. And nowhere nears as good as that might sound!
And was there ever a more deserving title for a Carry On title than Carry On CAMPING? Lol.

"...parnd..!"

Hey, let's not forget how close the Bond and Carry On series were from time to time. The last line in the pre-title sequence (spoken by Foggy from Last of the Summer Wine) You Only Live Twice is worthy of Carry On. Way before Roger the Dodger!

Or the "in...out..." bit at the end of Octopussy!
