Without further ado, it's over to Ray:
What was the first Carry On film
you ever saw?
You know, I honestly don't remember the
answer to that. I watched them all on TV lots of times when I was younger.
I do recall that I rather grew into them, gradually getting more
& more of the jokes and realising that the films were very funny indeed. I
don't think I ever watched any of the films in the cinema, in the 1970's. The
certification was more 'adult' by then and I wasn't old enough
to sneak in. Despite having an Uncle in the projection booth...!
Who is your favourite Carry On
actor and why?
I suppose I'm like many other people and
I really look forward to Sid Jame's cheeky innuendo, that broad
grin lighting up his prune-like face and particularly that
filthy laugh. But my favourite of all the actors who have appeared in
Carry On is Harry H Corbett. He played his one leading role in Carry on
Screaming absolutely perfectly...
Who is your favourite Carry On
actress and why?
Oh dear, that's very difficult.
Again I look forward to Barbara Windsor wobbling into the scene. Joan Sims
was more than a match for lecherous Sid and had some great lines. Angela
Douglas is absolutely gorgeous, but my favourite is Patsy Rowlands. I
think she played her characters brilliantly...
Who is your favourite Carry On supporting
actor?
Margaret Nolan, who so mammorably out
buxomed Barbara Windsor in Carry On Girls
Have you ever visited any Carry On
film locations?
Only by co-incidence, but I have been to
Windsor (Carry on Cabby) , Brighton (Carry on Girls / At Your Convenience)
and Snowdonia (Carry On Up The Khyber).
Have you ever met any Carry On
actors?
Unfortunately not, but I am open to
invitations and would be delighted to meet anybody who is passing through
Southampton or Eastleigh. I'm always looking for amusing/nostalgic material for
The Complete Works of TGR Worzel and interesting/informative material for
Eastleigh News.
Do you have any Carry On
memorabilia?
Unfortunately nothing physical or
tangible, just lots of happy memories in my head. That's good enough
for me.
Finally, what's your all time
favourite Carry On film?
Oh dear, that is
also very difficult. If I have to pick one film and one film only, I'll go
for Carry on Up The Khyber. I love the scene where Charles Hawtrey's character
reveals his full name. I think that's arguably the best laugh in all of the
Carry Ons...
