    Storyline

    • Trivia
      The first "Carry On" film to lose money at the box office and only broke even in 1976 after television deals and distribution rights had been sold. Its failure at the box office was largely down to the fact it was clearly an anti-union film. This was a curious miscalculation by the makers, as they knew most of their audience were working class people who would have largely been union supporters/members.
    • Goofs
      On the trip back from Brighton the coach stops at numerous pubs. You see the name of each pub they all stop at but the reflection on the side of the coach each time shows them getting off and on at the same place.
    • Quotes

      Sid: How about some food?

      Beattie: Well I could make you some beans on toast or something?

      Sid: No, nothing too elaborate, thank you.

    • Alternate versions
      The original cinema version was cut by the BBFC to remove cruder dialogue lines including "All the time it's prick, prick, prick" (followed by "so the girls say"), "I hope the other arm is doing as well", and "Something important has come up"(followed by "Won't it keep"). The latter line has been restored to video/DVD releases though other cuts may no longer survive.

    Toilet humour AND seaside humour.
    There's trouble brewing at Wm.C. Boggs' lavatory factory, where work-to-rule union rep Vic Spanner (Kenneth Cope) seizes every opportunity to bring out the workers on strike (especially if the local football team is playing at home): unless foreman Sid Plummer (Sidney James) can keep production going, the factory may have to close for good.

    Times have changed a lot since the 1970s, the decade that saw Britain plagued by industrial action, and Carry On At Your Convenience's once topical 'union workers versus management' storyline now seems very dated. Even so, this film still delivers plenty of laughs thanks to spirited turns from most of the series' regulars (Babs Windsor is the only notable performer missing), lots of quality innuendo, and a script that wisely moves the action away from the shop floor, first to the Plummer home, where Hattie Jacques' budgie proves a winner at the gee-gees, and then to Brighton seafront for the factory's annual drunken day out.

    The team is on cracking form here, Sid James guffawing for all he's worth while patting lovely Joan Sims on the bum whenever possible, Kenneth Williams putting in a fun turn as factory owner Mr. Boggs, the unwilling subject of his secretary's amorous advances, and big lunk Bernard Bresslaw copping off with a busty blonde in Brighton. Best of all, as far as I am concerned, is the presence of top Carry On crumpet Jackie Piper as pretty tea girl Myrtle, who sports tiny blue hot-pants for the trip to the coast and briefly strips to her bra and knickers after marrying the boss's lucky son Lewis (Richard O'Callaghan).
