A late sixties series high point..enjoy

Warning: Spoilers
I like how the characters have the same name as their respective actors eg. Sid (as always!), Bernie, Babs, Joan, Charlie (Charles Hawtrey)...

The music score by Eric Rogers included simple melodies included in several of the other entries in the series.

The real star of the film is the late Barbara Windsor as feisty school student Babs.

We see her character fighting towards the start of the film in her girls school but it is her antics at the Paradise Camp that really attract attention. One scene in particular!

The film builds up to a crescendo where several characters end up on a camp site, 'Paradise Camp'.

Other Carry On film regulars play up to their usual typecast reputations as sexually desperate, matronly, under the thumb (Terry Scott) husband and single Charlie Muggins (Charles Hawtrey).

Sid and dim Bernie (Bernard Bresslaw) take their girlfriends to the camp in the hope it is a nudist camp!

The owner of the camp, Josh Fiddler (Peter Butterworth)is as his name suggests a bit of a con artist it transpires. The Paradise Camp far from being a nudist paradise for Sid is just a field!

The film like all Carry On entries is compact but extremely funny in parts, and made so cheaply.

Most of the actors have now died but their comedy lives on.
