Finally back a work things seem to get back to normal.... but for how long. | VERDICT Despite on it's general release this was a flop, this film is the Carry On fans favourite of the series. Slow to begin at first the story moves quickly with some great moments; Vic and Bernie's cinema moment, Sid's thoery on how budgie's bill and coo and the day trip to Brighton, where the cast are in full swing especially Williams drunken joke "There once was a fellow called Reg, who went with a girl in a hedge. When along came his wife with a big carving knife and cut off his meat and two veg. Priceless innuendo. | Copyright 2007 Granada Ventures / Carry On Forever
