    Carry on Laughing!

    1 9 7 5 (UK)
    13 x 30 minute episodes

    Not to be confused with the series of compilations from the Carry On films that is still oft-repeated today, the episodes of this 1975 series were 13 brand new offerings made for the small screen.

    Each naughty standalone story was filled to the brim with one-liners, innuendo and double entendres. Naturally, they ranged in quality. A few actually had a reasonable plot, while others were just one long sketch.

    Targets included the court of King Arthur (twice) and no less than three take-offs on the 1920’s Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries (‘The Nine Old Cobblers’, ‘The Case of the Coughing Parrot’ and ‘The Case of the Screaming Wrinkles’) starring Jack Douglas as Lord Peter Flimsey and Kenneth Connor as Punter the butler.
