Remembering the story about good old Kenneth MacDonald who once had a job working in a Cereal Factory & used to put 4 or 5 toys in a box instead of one, thinking children would be pleased opening them at breakfast. Then got the sack for using up a month's worth of toys in a week.

Carry On Screaming must've been quite strange for cinema audiences at the time due to the lack of regulars in it, of the established cast you only had Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Jim Dale & Charles Hawtrey, & Hawtrey's hardly in it. This is the sort of thing I think about.

In times like this, the Carry On films should be shown on TV again, get everyone laughing. And not on ITV3 either, cos they'll still cut half the best lines and scenes. If you're lucky enough to own the lot on DVD, as I do (thrice over), pop one on. Carry On films rule.

After watching Carry On Henry, just reading up on Marjie Lawrence who plays the comely serving Wench in it. Only just discovered she was the mother of presenter Sarah Greene, and she was also the first person to speak on ITV. I like nice bits of trivia like this.

The fact James Beck (Walker) was first to pop off out of the Dad's Army cast still seems hard to believe after all these years.

Sad to hear we've lost the great Diana Rigg. Yes she was in Avengers, and some other good things particularly Evil Under The Sun. But I'll always remember her for Theatre of Blood, one of the best horror films ever, where she played Vincent Price's crazed daughter. RIP.

Watching Carry On England now. Doubt this would make anyone's Top 5. Or even Top 25, but I do like it. Not seen it properly for about eight years. This is one that I remember watching fairly often when younger, was one of the first I'd recorded on VHS.

Time for a bit of Porridge. It's the first episode and that classic scene Dr : You see those flasks over there I want you to fill one for me. Fletcher : What from here? Must've seen that bit 38,549 times, but it still cracks me up.

I sadly lost my Aunty at 1 o'clock this morning. We've been expecting it for a while. She was 104, so had a good innings. RIP.

My thread on Hattie's Matron's being the same in all 4 medical Carry Ons (and Camping) begins. Matron starts off in Nurse at Haven Hospital, she's given no other name here other than Matron. At this stage she's the serious, bossy Matron we know well, but is purely work motivated.

Here it is, the thread that no-one wanted. It's a Mad Mad Mad Mad World. One of my favourite films ever, and one I've seen countless times. Fantastic main cast, great supporting cast. And dozens of cameos. Unfollow while you can.

Going to be doing a thread on my favourite and least favourite performances from each of the main Carry On gang. I really spoil you sometimes.
