Whats the Will-reading one, with leslie phillips, thora hird and michael hordern? that wasnt carry on but was pretty funny.
Another to keep an eye out for was Ladies What Do, about the cleaners who steal shares tips from the firm they work in. (Discussed in movie thread recently)
Personally i think mark ry should also try norman wisdom films too. Start with The Early Bird.

What's the one starring Bob Monkhouse as a dentist? I remember watching that as a kid in the 70s when he was doing The Golden Shot game show, and couldn't believe the Elvis quiff. I thought gosh he must be old to have being stuff that long, lol.

There were two, dentist on the job and dentist in the chair.
Funniest ever dentist sequence was in the Widsom film when Norman has to pretend to be a trainee dentist n gets a bloke as patient with huge thicket of beard n he cant find the guy's mouth!!

Do try those other non- carry ons we mentioned higher in the thread.
I quite enjoyed both Raising the Wind and Watch Your Stern and will try other Gerald Thomas films.
What about the Doctor movies with Dirk Bogarde?

There was one with Leslie Phillips playing a new vet , which wasn't bad.

Talking of the Doctor comedies, Dirk bogarde's Doctor at Sea is on talking pictures nov 15th. They were amusing but much gentler than carry ons.

Of course the late John Fraser was in one of those Doctor comedies. Liked him.

I’ve been meaning to dive into the Doctor films as the clips I’ve seen are quite amusing, particularly those involving James Robertson Justice’s Lancelot Spratt character.

A few months ago i found some interesting stuff about Peter Butterworth's war exploits. Cant remember if i posted them here but if i didnt, here they are...
Before his acting career started, Butterworth served as a lieutenant in the Royal Navy Fleet Air Arm during the Second World War.
While flying in an attack on the Dutch coast off Den Helder in 1940 his Fairey Albacore was shot down by Messerschmitt Bf 109s killing one crew member and wounding the other.
After a forced landing on the island of Texel he was captured, becoming a prisoner of war (POW). Sent to the Dulag Luft POW transit camp, at Oberursel near Frankfurt, he later escaped in June 1941 through a tunnel, covering 27 miles (43 km) over three days before a member of the Hitler Youth captured him. Afterwards he joked that he could never work with children again.
Two other attempts to escape were made during his time there but he never got beyond the camp grounds. He was subsequently sent to Stalag Luft III, near Sagan, the scene of The Great Escape.
Whilst at Stalag Luft III he met Talbot Rothwell who later went on to write many of the Carry On films in which Butterworth was to star.
Having never performed in public before his imprisonment, Butterworth formed a duo with Rothwell and sang in the camp shows. They delivered a song which Rothwell called "The Letter Edged In Black". The performance was followed by some comic repartee which, according to Butterworth's account, provoked enough boos and hisses to have the desired effect of drowning out the sounds of an escape tunnel being dug by other prisoners‘ escape party. After the war, Butterworth kept a photo of the concert party line-up, something which offered inspiration to him when starting a career in acting.
Butterworth was one of the vaulters covering for the escapers during the escape portrayed by the book and film The Wooden Horse. Butterworth later auditioned for the film in 1949 but "didn't look convincingly heroic or athletic enough" according to the makers of the film.
Within the same camp as Butterworth and Rothwell were the future actors Rupert Davies and John Casson, who was the son of Lewis Casson and Sybil Thorndike. All five remained very close friends after the war ended and they all appeared on This Is Your Life when Butterworth was featured in 1975.

TWICE ROUND THE DAFFODILS
This 1962 film seems to have all the ingredients of another Carry on Nurse. Hospital setting, produced by Peter Rogers, directed by Gerald Thomas, written by Norman Hudis, featuring Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, and a few other Carry On actors. But a surprise is in store. This is a gentle, even poignant, comedy drama. (Although it still finds a way to show the young Jill Ireland in her knickers.) Even Williams' persnickety chess fiend is a bit toned down from his usual Carry On persona. A very enjoyable "little" film.

Farmer: "Milk, is it?!"
Terry Scott: "i came here once before, you know"
Farmer: "oh, you did, eh?"
Terry Scott: "But you werent here. Just the young lady. And she gave me a bit."
Farmer: "Oh, she did, did she?"
Terry Scott: "Yes and it was very nice, too. That's why Ive come back for some more."
Farmer: "By gum, you've got a nerve!!"
Terry scott: "Ohh dont misunderstand me, im quite willing to pay for it this time."
Farmer (reaching for shotgun): "I'll kill you!!!!"
Farmer shoots Terry Scott up the arse with buckshot as hes running up the path

Carry On Camping? (Let's see if I remember correctly after my Great Carry On Watch from a couple of weeks ago...)

Oh yes. And i found my fave sketch where sid talks to mr Fiddler the farmer at the campsite. They think its the nudist colony theyre looking for. Its a bit long but well constructed. Butterworth's timing is impeccable.
Yes. Can I help you?
Yes. We'd like to camp here.
Who do we have to see?
Me. I'm the owner. Josh Fiddler.
Oh, how do you do, Mr Fiddler?
- I'm Boggle. This is Mr Lugg.
- Hello.
- You're not members, then?
- Do you have to be members?
I'm afraid so. I'm trying to keep this place select. It's not like some of these camp sites, it's more what you might call a showplace.
We know all about that, don't we? How much is it to be a member, then?
- A pound.
- A pound. All right, then.
Per person.
Bernie: Each? But there's four of us.
- Bernie, it's all right. We don't want to argue with Mr Fiddler.
Two, three, four.
That's correct.
- Now, then, gentlemen, your members' cards.
- Thank you. Shall we go, then?
- Any time you want to book in, show them.
- But we want to come in now.
Now? But you haven't booked, have you?
Booked? Don't tell me you're full up.
Well, I might be able to squeeze you in, but you should have paid the booking fee.
Booking fee. Which is?
- A pound.
- A pound.
Per tent.
Two tents, two pounds.
- Now can we come in?
- As soon as you've paid the rent.
- Rent?
- In advance.
Bernie: But you've had six quid out of us already!
- It's all right, Bernie. What about the rent, then, Mr Fiddler?
- Well, um, my usual charge per week...
- Yes, yes, which is?
- A pound.
A pound. I knew it. Per tent?
Or per person. Whichever's the greater.
I dont know if anybody ever told you, but your name certainly suits you.
- Thank you.
Now can we come in?
- Well, there is just one more thing.
- What?
Welcome to Paradise.
