| PLOT When a group of hoilday makers enbark on a package deal, they thought they would be in for a real treat, but this time they get more than they bargined for. The resort ellsbells is not quite up to scratch, and one part of it is the hotel not being quite finished. While they stay and try there best, the food is minamal and the staff is one man. Vic Flange is after Sadie Tompkins, Brother Bernard is trying hard to prove he can become a member of the cloth, Mr Tuttle is forever drunk and Stanley Blunt just wants a bit. The hotel finally crumbles on thier last night, but it's hoilday they won't be forgetting. | VERDICT A good solid Carry On, properly the most popular of the 70's Carry On's aswell. There is so much going on in this one, lots of fun and a full cast assemble for one last time in the series. Much on the lines of Camping this really does have that swing in it which makes it a memorable Carry On. Peter Butterworth steals the show as the hotel proprieter (all three of them), and his classic line when he serves dinner "Bona-tits, Bona-tits" is one to keep you laughing. The prison and the finale party scene are the highlights, a great carry On, Carry On don't get much better than this! | Copyright 2007 Granada Ventures / Carry On Forever
