Carry On (franchise)

The Carry On franchise primarily consists of a sequence oflowbudget British comedy motion pictures 195892, four Christmas specials, a television series of thirteen episodes, and three West End and provincial stage plays. The films humour was in the British comic tradition of the music hall and bawdy seaside postcards. Producer Peter Rogers and director Gerald Thomas drew on a regular group of actors, the Carry On team, that included Sidney James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth, Hattie Jacques, Terry Scott, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Jack Douglas and Jim Dale.

It was announced in late October 2015, that there are plans for a new CarryOn film to be released in 2017.Carry On Sergeant 1958 was about a group of recruits on National Service and was in keeping with its setting, the titular order commonly issued by army officers to their sergeants in the course of their routine duties. The film was sufficiently successful to inspire a similar venture, again focusing on an established and respected profession in Carry On Teacher. When that too was successful further forays with Carry On Nurse and Carry On Constable established the series. This initial pattern was broken with the fifth film in 1961,Carry On Regardless. ........
