Carry On Camping (DVD) ... released 07 July, 2003 at ITV DVD / Features of the DVD: PAL, Special Edition, Widescreen / There are three periods to Carry On. Early on, they were typical British light comedy capers, hardly risqué. By the 1970s, the loveable double-entendres had been replaced by an almost nasty sleaziness, culminating in 1977's Carry On Emanuelle. 1969's Carry On Camping, thankfully, belongs to the Golden Years. Pretty much everybody is present and correct, if not politically. Sid James is a likely-ish, if slightly elderly lad, persuading Joan Sims to join him at what he secretly expects to be a nudist colony. Terry Scott is a put-upon suburbian, coerced into outdoor vacations by his ghastly, horsey-laughed wife, while Charles Hawtrey is the campest of campers who befriends them. Kenneth Williams, who alone makes this worth watching, is gloriously ridiculous as head of a girl's school, Chayste Place, with Hattie Jacques as Matron and Barbara Windsor as one of the 30 year old fifth formers in their charge. Technically it's terrible stuff, with Barbara Windsor's flying bra, laboured puns galore, peeping tomfoolery, punchlines visible two miles off, "comedy" incidental music and a reactionary denouement in which they chase off a bunch of hippies. Yet if you don't chuckle at least half a dozen times during this, however many times you've seen it, there's probably something wrong with you. --David Stubbs

 ... disappointed by the fact that this is actually a family camping site and not as they had hoped a 'nudist' camping site , like the camping site they had seen on the film at the cinema. Although they are soon cheered up by the arrival of some girls (including the ever so funny , Barbara Windsor) from the finishing school Chayste Place. What will happen on this Camping trip ? Watch Carry On Camping to find out! This film is a laugh-a-minute! The jokes are actually funny and not too cheesy like some of the British films you get th...more

CARRY ON BACKGROUND ********************************* I have already included much of this background in another review but it is in this one for those that have not read the other review. Hm that's as clear as mud but I guess you get what I mean.The Carry On Films started in 1958 with Carry On Sergeant, which was made in Black and White and set in the post war years, when conscription was still around. From then, until 1978, twenty nine Carry On films were made in total. They were all comedies, made on a shoestring budget, and were produced by Peter Rogers and directed by Gerald Thomas. There were several mainstays of the Carry On cast and ...  Read the complete review

of my favourite films. I am not usually a fan of 'old' films , so it is quite strange that I like this film. I could watch it over and over again without getting tired of it. Carry On Camping is a British comedy film, released in the United Kingdom on May 29th 1969. It was directed by Gerald Thomas and stars Barbara Windsor (Peggy in Eastenders) and Sid James as well as a few other well known actors. Running time of the movie is 88 minutes. The film is a PG. Carry On Camping begins with Sid and Bernie taking their girlfriends Joan and Anthea to the cinema to watch a film about camping. Because the film contains a lot of nudity , the men think it would be ...  Read the complete review

or: "Let Sleeping Bags Lie". Just when everything was going so well, I go and watch "Carry On Again Doctor" and "Carry On Camping" in the wrong order - oh the misery! "Carry On Camping" is the *seventeenth* Carry On misadventure in the long-running series directed by Gerald Thomas and produced by Peter Rogers, and it's here where everything starts to get a bit rude. "I met this chap who'd just come back from Scotland and his wife was ravished by a wild haggis, and now they're expecting a little faggot!" Trying to get their new girlfriends 'in the mood', Sid Boggle (Sid James) ...  Read the complete review

Filmed in 1969, Carry On Camping is probably the best known of all this series of sniggery seaside postcard humour British films, if only for the scene where Babs Windsor bursts out of her bikini top during an early morning PT session As a Carry On addict and bit of a purist, this is not among my favourites, but it is better by a long chalk, than some of the later ones; most notably the execrable Carry On Emmanuelle which should never have been allowed to be filmed, never mind to see the light of day on our screens. Written by Talbot Rothwell, the gags are less subtle in Camping than in the earlier movies, but not quite as overtly and disappointingly tacky as ...  Read the complete review

This review is for the DVD release of "Carry on Camping". The film is one of the famous Carry On series of films released from the 1950s to the 1970s, and this one was released in 1969. The film is one of the best known in the series, primarily for one of the scenes featuring Barbara Windsor and her exercising! The film is based around a campsite, and the story is based around the various mixture of family and friends who visited that site. These include Sid and Bernie (played by Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw respectively) who take their girlfriends to the camp site, although they were under the incorrect impression that it was ...  Read the complete review
