What the world needs, a new Carry On film.
Bigged up six months ago, cast list seems awfully scant. Basically Daniella Westbrook and Barry out of 'stenders.

However for Jaunty Alan he'll be pleased to see that apparently errant newsreader Zora Suleman will be playing a character called Min Jeta. Its almost as bad as Red Light Runners.

And the Hamiltons!

Oh god...

Anyone get the feeling that this may never actually get made?

― Pete (Pete), Thursday, 15 January 2004 15:55 (twenty-two years ago)

Maybe the success of Carry On Columbus went to their heads?

Daniella Westbrook??? Jesus, the possibilities!

― Nichole Graham (Nichole Graham), Thursday, 15 January 2004 16:02 (twenty-two years ago)

Or Daniella Westbrook as Jesus? "Forgive them, father, yeah, 'cos like, they don't know what they're doin', innit?"

One thing:

The 'failed' last one "Carry on Columbus" consisted of the Comic Strip 'team' in a large number of parts. This time, it's more slanted towards the east-end and/or working class, which seems to be more in line with how the original films were.

Did Columbus get suffocated in irony? Will it save London?

I was just thinking how it was missing the actors with a theatrical background.

― Alba (Alba), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 06:58 (twenty years ago)

This looks awful.

"I'm really looking forward to it, Matron!" said Jones...

Anyway, still Peter Richardson

Columbus got suffocated in being shit. not worse than emanuelle though IMHO.

"I'm really looking forward to it, Matron!" said Jones, imitating one of the best-known Carry On stars, the late Kenneth Williams.

He then went on to.. (insert further punchline involving K.Williams behaviour)

Have a Carry On quiz.

(I got ten)

― mark grout (mark grout), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 13:50 (twenty years ago)

it is kind of strange they're not using real actors. the original cast were all brilliant in their own right.

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 17:19 (twenty years ago)

Why the fuck would anyone make a new Carry On film? I mean, the originals have their place, but a new one? Are they mad? Why not bring back rationing while they're about it?

be careful what you wish for

― Tracey Hand (tracerhand), Wednesday, 17 May 2006 18:54 (twenty years ago)
