If a new carry on film were to be made?

[Paddy O'Dors]

Dawn French as an overweight version of Hattie Jacques.

Carry On’s time has long gone no point in trying to revive it.

Dawn French as an overweight version of Hattie Jacques.

She’s lost a lot of weight, like, she’s probably thinner than Hattie Jacques.

Carry On had its time but it’s waaaaay past its sell-by date.

That’s already been done?

He’s a proper dick head that fella! Would love to punch him in the throat or even better I watched road house again last night I’d like to Rip his throat out.

Out of interest why? Have you ever met him? What has he done that would mean that you would take pleasure in killing him?

They are all way too old. You need a cast about thirty or forty years younger than that.

You couldn’t do it these days because we don’t do subtle any more. Jokes are signalled ahead of being told, then we are told them, several times, then we get told what we have been told. It’s the sledgehammer approach rather than the velvet glove.

And we are way too coarse, knowing and vulgar to appreciate them any more unless we are of a certain age.

 

[bernardbresslaw]

Who would be in the cast?

Eddie izzard in for kenneth williams character maybe, "oooo matron stop messing about"
or sheridan smith in for Barbara windsor.

Me.

 

[zinedine]

couldn't make a film of that ilk nowadays imo mate too offensive to too many

And yet we have very easy access to hard core porn on our tv's. It's a crazy world.
I don't think we have the actors these days to make a decent attempt at a carry on film. The last one they tried was poor compared to those of old.

Hang on ,, wasn't this done a few years ago with Julian "the fist" clary as the camp Kenneth Williams type and it was shìt ?
