The Carry On series is a long-running British sequence of comedy films, stage shows and television programmes produced between 1958 and 1992. Distributed by Anglo-Amalgamated from 1958 to 1966, and the Rank Organisation from 1967 to 1978, the films were all made at Pinewood Studios. [1] The series' humour relied largely on innuendo and double entendre. [2] There were thirty-one films, four TV Christmas specials, one television series of thirteen episodes, and three West End and provincial stage plays, [3] all made on time and to a strict budget.

Carry On Dallas (1980), a spoof of the popular American soap opera Dallas was pursued in 1980. A script was written and casting offers made to Williams, Connor, Douglas, Sims, Windsor, Hawtrey and Dale. The production was abandoned when Dallas production company Lorimar Productions demanded a royalty fee of 20 times the total production budget. [12] Carry On Sergeant (1958) is about a group of recruits doing National Service; its title, a command commonly issued by army officers to their sergeants in the course of their routine duties, was in keeping with its setting. The film was sufficiently successful to inspire a similar venture, again focusing on an established and respected profession in Carry On Nurse. When that too was successful, further forays with Carry On Teacher and Carry On Constable established the series. This initial 'pattern' was broken with the fifth film in 1961, Carry On Regardless, but it still followed a similar plot to that of many of the early films—a small group of misfit newcomers to a job make comic mistakes, but come together to succeed in the end. The men’s surgical ward of the Haven Hospital is staffed by an energetic nursing team under the watchful eye of Matron. Their suty time is taken up not only with nursing, but in attempting to control the riotous “shower” of patients who are always up to some prank or other. They also have to contend with the amorous advances of the patients! Carry On Teacher (1959)

Carry On Escaping (1973), scripted by Talbot Rothwell, a spoof of World War II escape films. The complete script is included in the book The Complete A–Z of Everything Carry On. Carry On Teacher starred the popular radio comedian Ted Ray, who was cast because of his success on radio during World War II and later. Ray, who at that time was under contract to ABC Films, proved to be popular with audiences of the film on its general release and, as a result, Peter Rogers planned to cast him in future films. However, ABC producers were enraged at Ray's success for a rival producer and demanded he stop appearing in the Carry On films. Rogers was threatened with legal action and was forced to find another lead actor. [21]
