[QUOTE="Mel O'Drama, post: 434795, member: 23"] Oh Willie. You have no idea how exciting it was to find this post from you this morning. How thrilling to enjoy your discovery of the films, and I await your thoughts with antici........pation. As you possibly know James had a terrific[I] Carry On[/I] rewatch thread on the old site, and there is a [URL='https://tellytalk.net/threads/the-carry-on-films.3015/']slightly more general one here on Telly Talk[/URL] which you may (or may not) want to peek at once you're more familiar with the series. Since it's Studiocanal, I'd think you would have access to the first twelve films, which will give a nice flavour of the series. Some you will probably like better than others, but the really terrible ones came towards the end of the series, way past the EMI/Studiocanal era. There are two main[I] Carry O[/I]n writers. Norman Hudis wrote the first six (of which Teacher was #3) and you may notice certain similarities between the character arcs in his films. Talbot Rothwell is the other writer (he ended up writing 20 consecutive [I]Carry Ons[/I]). His style is generally less-restrained, but if you've enjoyed the slapstick you'll be safe with his films also. Incidentally, there are several "sub-[I]Carry On[/I]" films that were made during the same era from the same team (producers/director/actors/writers) but never had the [I]Carry On[/I] title. Some of these are as good assome of the main films, so if you're hungry for more I can give you some pointers. Oh, this is an interesting comment.
