Sir Gay: If that's the flower of English Knighthood, I'd hate to see the weed!

Very cheap, very cheerful

It's so easy to rubbish the Carry On Laughing series that it's almost stupid to do so. If you want the quality of Screaming, Cleo or Khyber you're going to be bitterly disappointed, but if you want some golden performances from wonderful artistes who were never given much of a chance to shine in the proper films, that's a different matter. Peter Butterworth churns out one hilarious character study after another. Sherrie Hewson will shock you with the depth and charm of her performances. David Lodge shows what a superb actor can do with a dodgy script. Jack Douglas shines like a diamond throughout the utterly brilliant Lord Peter Flimsy trilogy. Diane Langton is charming and funny and Victor Maddern is simply sublime. This sets may have looked like a decent sneeze would send them flying, but the performances are as sturdy as stone.
