One for <i>Carry On</i> naysayers as well as the fans, this anniversary insight into a very British world is filled with waspish bon mots, extensive interviews and lots of amusing detail. A comprehensive and warm biography of the key players, as well as the films themselves.
Empire
Richard Webber's book is a chronological trawl through the <i>Carry On</i> series covering everything from early successes like <i>Carry On Sergeant</i>, to classics like <i>Carry On up the Khyber </i>... our most enduring films have been about getting nookie at all costs and the consolations of the biscuit tin. The French got Truffaut, we got Bisto. Bring it on

enjoyable
Sunday Telegraph
In this sympathetic, well-researched history, Richard Webber retrieves some of the more lubricious lines lost to the British Board of Censors ... the <i>Carry On</i>s have become a part of British film history, like Hitchcock and Hammer horror. As vulgar as flock wallpaper, as cheap as fish and chips, they hold a special place in the hearts of young and old alike
