[QUOTE="Spells & Karma, post: 445255, member: 23"] After working my way through the first two series, I've finally got to the highly-anticipated (on my part) [I]Carry On Cleo[/I] episode. What a disappointment. Whether or not something has dated badly, I was still hoping to see the film discussed by guests who genuinely know and like the series, as was the case with follow up sitcom podcasts like the Ben Elton interview or David Tennant talking about [I]The Fall And Rise Of Reginald Perrin[/I]. A visiting millennial who doesn't know Joan Sims from Hattie Jacques but had the starting point of being "really uncomfortable" with the tongue-in-cheek material just didn't fit that bill, and the whole discussion felt stifled by this energy (we even got the passive-aggressive loud yawning as they viewed the film). Such a shame. It would have been nice to have a celebration, but it was clear that was not going to be permitted. [/QUOTE]
