In the past I have featured many Carry On fans on the blog as well as guest posts from fellow bloggers. I would now love it if any of you out there have memories of meeting any of the Carry On team. It doesn't matter if it's a member of the main team, a guest artist or a background player, I want to hear about it!
You may have met them at a film convention, at the stage door of a theatre production or even just by chance in your local supermarket. Whatever the occasion, please do contact me and share your stories. I have written myself about meeting some of my Carry On heroes. A few years back I was lucky enough to watch Carry On Screaming alongside one of the films' most iconic stars, Fenella Fielding. Last year I attended the London Film Convention and met two other gorgeous Carry On ladies - Anita Harris and Amanda Barrie. I also intend to go along to the next convention later this month to meet Liz Fraser and Jacki Piper, two of my favourite Carry On actors.
So if you have a story to tell, get in touch either on Facebook or Twitter (links below) or why not email me directly at carryonfan15@gmail.com
I look forward to hearing from you!

Hi Graeme! I'm thrilled to find your blog...I am a massive Carry On fan and have been since childhood. I can never watch too many! Favourites are Convenience, Abroad, Camping & Khyber...but I will watch any really! I used to see lovely Kenneth Connor fairly regularly as he lived the restaurant where I was Head Chef in the 1980s...he once popped into the kitchen and gave me a saucy kiss to say thanks for his lunch! I have seen Barbara Windsor quite a few times and once gave her a bag to put her newspapers in at the newsagents. Her then-husband ran the pub they owned quite near us so we saw her often. However, my biggest Carry On claim to fame and something I'm ridiculously proud of is that I am actually related to Sid James! My great- grandfather was the cousin of one of his parents (father I think) & they all lived close to each other in Johannesburg before & during WW1. So it may be a few times removed, but it's good enough for me and I always feel so proud when I see him on screen, lovely man! My Dad did look a lot like him too (not quite so wrinkly!) Anyway, looking forward to reading more and I always love your tweets too (I'm @MozartsGirl )
ReplyDeleteHi Rachel, Great to hear from you, I really appreciate you taking the time to get in touch. Great choices there - they are some of my favourites too. Lovely to hear your memories of meeting Kenneth Connor and Barbara Windsor. What a lovely link to Sid too - I'd be hugely proud of that too! Glad you are enjoying the tweets and the blog! Carry On! G
