• Carry On Christmas Special

  MARK KEARNS 30 October 2005

  

  If you're searching for some saucy, but inoffensive, yuletide humour, look no further. The laughs flow thick and fast in this sumptuous feast of festive frolics, in which the irreplaceable gang take us through four hours of irresistible mirth. The stars ~ every one an actor or actress of the highest calibre ~ give their all to likeable scripts that remind us of a time of greater innocence. Pantomime, songs, dancing, slapstick and a liberal dose of innuendo ~ they're all here in abundance and somehow succeed in capturing the seasonal spirit admirably.
  The combination of Carry On and Christmas is indeed a winning formula. Devoted Carry On fans will not want to be without this value-for-money set, and newcomers to the genre might just find themselves rushing out to buy the films as well.
  A Yuletide treat indeed.

All four made-for-TV Christmas specials from the Carry On crew. In 'Carry On Christmas 1969', Sid James, Barbara Windsor and the rest rework Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol' in their own inimitable style. In 'Carry On Again Christmas' (1970), Sid stars as Long John Silver while Babs plays a saucy young Jim Hawkins, in this take-off of 'Treasure Island'. In 'Carry On Stuffing' (1972), the cast recreate a bawdy version of classic panto Aladdin, while in 'Carry On Christmas 1973', Sid plays a department store Santa as the crew journey through the ages to see how Christmas was celebrated by cavemen, by Robin Hood, and on the frontlines in World War Two.
