Wikipedia article




'That's Carry On!' is a 1977 British comedy film, the 29th release in the series of 31 'Carry On' films (19581992). The film is a compilation of the highlights of most of the previous 28 films, and features series regulars Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor as co-presenters. It was Windsor's 10th and final appearance in the series. The idea for the film was inspired by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer's popular That's Entertainment! series of documentaries. It was released in 1977 as a supporting feature to the Richard Harris film, 'Golden Rendezvous'. The film was followed by "Carry On Emmannuelle" in 1978.

Plot



Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor are imprisoned in a Pinewood Studios projection room and trawl through film can after film can of the Carry On series. Kenneth is delighted with the slap-up food hamper and champagne, while Barbara loads the vintage clips. As the films remorselessly play out, Kenneth feels the need to relieve himself but Barbara is determined to plough through every film. Finally, scenes of speedy roadside urinating from 'Carry On at Your Convenience' prove too much for Kenneth to bear but he holds back the flow to enjoy his finest role as the Khasi in 'Carry On... Up the Khyber'. While Kenneth pontificates about the glories of the Empire, Barbara leaves the projection room and locks her co-star in. Unable to hold out any longer, Kenneth goes against the projection room door.
