What do you like the most about films - I like to see life in 2D and - usually- in black and white! ;-)


Why did you choose the topic for #MTOS - I've been a lifelong fan of the Carry Ons, written several books on them including "The Carry On Companion" (1996) and "The Carry on Story" (2005), as well as moderated 30 full-length audio commentaries with the cast and crew.

3. What are your earliest memories of Carry Ons?

4. The Carry Ons: Sexist, silly or social comment? Discuss.

5. Do you think the Carry On films work best in historical or contemporary costume? In other words, is Carry On...Up the Khyber better than Carry On Camping?

6. Was Gerald Thomas, director of all the films, a workman-like talent or the real creative heart of the series?
