• Carry On England | DVD | (07/07/2003) from £N/A   |  Saving you £N/A (N/A%)   |  RRP £12.99

  In 1975's Carry On England, a mixed-sex anti-aircraft battery is set up during World War II by way of an experiment. The sex is indeed pretty mixed, although the drafting in of Patrick Mower and Judy Geeson rather demonstrates the need for at least some of the cast to be attractive in order to make this odd premise feasible. For the most part, of course, it's tits-out sex-comedy slapstick all the way, but there's a nicely ambivalent performance from Kenneth Connor, who portrays the wartime British officer class as being pretty much bonkers, a telling interpretation, which Stephen Fry was to perfect years later in Blackadder Goes Forth. The location is of course typically Carry On cheap-and-cheerful, but its inevitable drabness, together with the indistinguishable khaki uniforms, tends to put a bit of a dampener on the adult-panto atmosphere that the best Carry Ons deliver. The cast commendably manage to transcend this, though, so there's still plenty of fun to be had. --Roger Thomas

  This stand-out classic of British erotica marks a mucky milestone in the history of our domestic cinema. A true groundbreaker and one of this county's first legal full-frontal sex films. It features a roll-call of familiar comedy actors and actresses. Rude, nude and filthy funny, this is one of the hilarious and horny movies that had the dirty Mac brigade flocking to Soho's private cinemas for more than a decade. Now available to buy on DVD for the very first time, Eskimo Nell is a giggling, quivering mix of sex and comedy. The story lines tells hoe three inexperienced movie-makers set out to create a film based on the notorious dirty poem of the same name. Forced to drum up financial support from four different backers, they end up having to make four different versions to please them. one hard core pornography, one family entertainment, one a gay western, another a kung-fu musical... and all done in the worst possible taste.
