The Last Truly Brilliant Carry On, 30 September 2005
10/10
Author: private_widdle from United Kingdom

Carry On Abroad is one of those perfect Carry Ons where most of the main stars appear and have great fun entertaining the public. Yeah there is a lot of nudge-nudge humour, but not once does it sink to the level of crudities that other 70s comedies like the Confession or Adventure series' do. It's laugh-a-minute stuff that only improves with every viewing (and I have seen it a LOT!)As with every Carry On it's an ensemble piece and this cast is a who's who of British comedy at the time. If you like Carry Ons you won't be disappointed, everyone involved is on the top of their form. Not only the best Carry On but one of the finest British comedies of the 70's.
