The gorgeous, talented and all round lovely Fenella Fielding will be In Conversation with comedy historian Robert Ross on Sunday 25th September at
the Leicester Square Theatre Lounge.
Fenella is probably most celebrated as the smoking hot femme fatale Valeria in 'Carry On Screaming!'. Other film appearances have ranged from the demented ballerina Tatiana in 'Doctor in Clover' to the dotty Mrs. Foxfur in 'Guest House Paradiso'. She first made her mark on the London stage, sparring with Kenneth Williams in the classic revue 'Pieces of Eight', while on television she chalked~up four appearances opposite Eric & Ernie.
With work in everything from Hammer Horror to Shakespeare comedy, Fenella's latest project has seen her record her memoirs as an audio book. This audio book will be a must have for all fans of classic British comedy when it is released later this year.
Fenella Fielding in Conversation with Robert Ross
will take place on Sunday 25th September at the Leicester Square Theatre
Lounge in London. It kicks off at 4pm and runs for 90 minutes. I
understand Fenella will be signing autographs after the show. You can buy

Sadly I've heard today that the Liz Fraser In Conversation event due to take place on Sunday at the Leicester Square Theatre Lounge has now been cancelled. The event, hosted by Robert Ross, was due to feature the Carry On legend discussing her career in films and television as well as the many famous actors she's known and worked with.
I'm very sad to hear the event has been cancelled as I was due to attend as a birthday treat! However hopefully it will be rescheduled - I will keep the blog updated if I hear anything. I don't know why the event has been pulled at short notice but I hope all is well with Liz.
A
lifelong friend to the late, great Joan Sims, Liz is always good value,
speaks her mind and doesn't suffer fools! I hope we do get the chance to attend in the not too distant future as I can't wait to hear what
Liz has got to say about her life, her illustrious career and her
wonderful co-stars and friends.

What a week it's been. I have some lovely new blogs to post over the weekend that I hope you'll enjoy.
On Tuesday I travelled up to Borehamwood in Hertfordshire to visit the fabulous Elstree Studios and meet Morris Bright, Chairman of the Studios, writer, broadcaster and above all else a massive fan of the Carry Ons and British comedy. Morris was very generous with his time and we had a great chat both about his work at Elstree and his lifelong love of the Carry On films and the great actors who made them.
Keep a look out for my interview with Morris which I'll be blogging in two parts over the Bank Holiday weekend and as you would expect we cover lots of ground. So if you're a fan of Joan Sims, Kenneth Williams, Patsy Rowlands and Jim Dale, don't miss it!
And this coming Sunday I will be heading down to the Leicester Square Theatre Lounge for a very special event. British acting legend Liz Fraser will be in conversation with Carry On writer and fan Robert Ross. Liz has starred in countless classic films and television series over the years and is always excellent value. I can't wait! I'll be blogging about my trip to see Liz later next week!
So Carry On following Carry On Blogging - you know it makes sense!
Excellent
news! Following on from her wonderful birthday tribute day on Talking
Pictures TV last Sunday, the fantastic Liz Fraser will be in
conversation with comedy historian Robert Ross on Sunday 28th August at
the Leicester Square Theatre Lounge.
Liz
is a British acting legend with a career spanning seven decades and the
very best of theatre, film and telly. She has worked with them all,
from Sid James and Kenneth Williams to Tony Hancock, Jimmy Edwards,
Margaret Rutherford and Alastair Sim. We celebrate Liz regularly on this
blog as a cherished part of early Carry On successes. She added real
screen presence to three early Carry Ons - Regardless, Cruising and
Cabby before returning for a role in Carry On Behind in 1975.
Some
of my own favourites of Liz's performances over the years have included
stand out roles in the Miss Marple drama Nemesis, hilariously flirting
with Martin Shaw's Ray Doyle in The Professionals and my favourite of
all her films - opposite Sid James and Ian Carmichael in the classic and
underestimated comedy Double Bunk.
