TRANSCRIPT · AUTO-GENERATED

Hello and welcome to Retrospection. This time we're spending a penny with one of our favourite franchises, the Carry On series, and this time we've got a riled flush with Carry On at York Convenience from 1971, set in a toilet factory, which, let's be honest, is right where we belong. As Annie Lennox once wrote it, a reefer frankly sang, systems are doing it for themselves. I like it, here we go.

My name's Colin and Fakes, I saw they are sitting there, stirring in their crystal, wass' names. Balls! I quite agree. My name's Paul and what's to become of me?

I've given my whole life to bogs. That is a true fact. It really is, and you know me very well. We should have a noise that goes, boom, in fact.

We should go back through the entire back catalog of representation and put that in, because I'm sure it's going to be in lots of places. We'll take long, we'll have. Our TMDB says, WCBogs lavatory factory, Vic Spanner is the union representative who calls a striker to the drop of a hat. However, eventually everyone gets fed up with him.

That's pretty much, I think that gives it a little bit too much credit because that makes it sound like it's actually got a plot, if I'm honest. Well, we'll be discussing that, I do believe. It's Stair's Sid James as Sid Plummer, Kenneth Williams as WCBogs, Charles Hartree as Charles Coot. Charles what?

Coot. All right, okay. What's talking about you? Patty Shakes as a BT Plummer, Berdder Breslara's Bernie Hulk, Jackie Piper as Myrtle Plummer, and the Rother's.

It's written by Talbot Ruffwell and directed by Gerald Thomas. So you think we're in safe hands, wouldn't you? We would, yeah, because we're at the 22nd entry into the carry-on series. Do you know what?

When I was watching it, I looked that up. It was amazing to me that we're 22 movies in, and then it occurred to me that there's more movies in this franchise than Bond movies. Yeah, that's bizarre. I always have the same files when I watch them.

It's crazy, isn't it? Yeah. But there we are. They were churning them out.

Yeah, yeah. Do you think maybe the carry-on franchise needs to be taken over by Amazon? Because obviously they'll steer it in the right direction, won't they? You know, because they're going to do that with Bond, obviously.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Absolutely. Carry on shopping. Carry on shopping.

Carry on shopping. This was titled Carry Around the Bend in most of the rest of the world, because of the USA. Makes sense. Convenience doesn't have the same meaning.

Yeah, I think there were other ones as well. That's the final tagline at the end of the film. You're just not thinking about that. But I do have another title we'll talk about.

It was also the first Carry on film to become a box office, Bond. It was. And a lot of it was blamed on the fact that the film kind of alienated the working classes, who were seen as the main people that liked these movies. Yeah, because this film makes fun of factory unions.

And you see, the majority of the audience of Carry on films were people in unions. You see, it's never a good idea to alienate and belittle your core audience. I'm just glad that doesn't happen today. No.

Yeah, they're all in point. They know what they're doing. It took over five years for this film to turn a profit. Yeah, and that was due to TV sales and things like that, wasn't it?

Do you know how long it usually took a Carry on film to make a profit? Go on. Three days. Makes sense.

During publicity for Carry on Henry, this film was announced as being called Carry on Conbrade. Yeah, it's a bit Russian, doesn't it? Well, in the 70s, unions were a big deal. And it seems that a lot of them were infiltrated by Russian agents in an attempt to cause strikes and production standstill creating division and instability in the country from within.

Yeah, glad that doesn't happen today. Oh, are we going there? We've got political now. Wow.

Sorry, Ben Elton. Maggie Thatcher. Yeah, yeah, yeah, I didn't realise I was working with. Well, it's been Elton.

Good night. Now you're going to go on to write a musical about Queen, aren't you? I am indeed. Yes.

Her Majesty. Bill Perch, we had a cameo as the manager of the Roadhouse that Richard O'Kallerhan and Jackie Piper visit, but was cut out the final film? Yeah, and he wasn't the only one that was cut out of the final film as well. Who else?

So Terry Scott had a small role in the film, which was subsequently cut. No, the director, Joel Thomas, he wrote to Terry Scott. And he said the following. Okay.

Yeah. This is in no way any reflection on you or your performance, but the film finished 50 minutes over length and we felt rather than cut your sequence down so that you were only on the screen for a flash, it would be kinder to remove the entire scene as it really had no effect one way or the other on the story, such as it is. No, I'm not sure about you, but I'm not sure that would make me feel better about it. Two points to this.

One, that's the Ubelle going to send to you at one point. Okay. Point two. You said 50 minutes over?

50. Five zero. Are you sure about that? 50 minutes.

That's the quote I read. Yeah. I don't know. I just doubt that that was even possible.

I'm hoping that that was a typo from IMDB. I'm saying five minutes. Maybe. Maybe.

Yeah. But the film doesn't even run 90 minutes long. No, it's an hour and twenty five or something like that, isn't it? Yeah.

So they could have had the build perk we've seen in and the Terry Scott scene and been a 90 minute film. There's no way that was 50 minutes apart. I think that's a typo. And I'm sure that there's a couple of scenes we could have taken out and put those things in and it might have been a movie.

Maybe. Yeah. We'll talk about that. I think that's a lot of the stuff that's happening in any other carry on film because they're usually lean to the bone, right?

They don't shoot stuff they don't need. Exactly. Yeah. So is this the first time we're hearing of a carry on film that's had scenes removed?

I think so. And also as well, we're talking about shooting stuff that you don't need. Apparently, Renee Houston would, she wasn't very well at the time and it would often take nine or ten takes to get her stuff right, which was very unusual for a carry on movie. It was like one or two and then done.

Yeah. Yeah. Yeah. You didn't get a choice.

I mean, I'm not sure if it's a special, army-like work production. Yeah. You know, Terry Scott was paid £500 for the day's work and he played a union boss. Look, can you guess the name of that union boss?

No, it's going to be a pun of some sort, obviously. Just think carry on. Think carry on. Don't overthink it.

Don't overthink it. No, go on. Give it a go. He was called Mr.

Olcock. Oh, the hardy of course. That was obvious. That was, I mean, Olcock was stirring me in the face.

Would be the first time, wouldn't it? Not the last. Not the last. Okay.

How much money do you think your work would give you? So what I'm saying is Terry Scott got 500 quid and was caught up in film. He got 500 quid from not doing his job. How much would your workplace give you for not doing your job?

Are you asking how much I would take? No, no. I'm asking how much day would give you. I mean, how much you take?

I mean, that'd be infinite, right? You've got to stop taking. I suppose I suppose. I'd do my job a day.

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Because it was probably a day's filming for this. Yeah, yeah, yeah. Probably 200 quid and a good crate beer or something.

But the good guy, not cheap. No, no, no, no. So, so colleagues of Mr. Paul, you've heard it here.

If you all have a whip round, you get rid of him for a day. To be honest, I think you could probably get rid of him just bring the crate beer in. I'm fine with that. The money's probably optional at this point.

Works fine for me. I'm all right with either. It doesn't matter. Okay.

Either. Gas. You want gas there? Just go with it.

Okay. All right. It's been a long night. Do you have anything else?

I do. So the hotel used in the movie, the Plarages Hotel in Brighton, was actually owned by Doribron. Who appeared in the first Carry on movie, Carry on Sergeant. Oh, that's a nice fact.

I like that. It should also point out that most of the cast were pretty surprised that they actually went to Brighton. How sad does it have to be when you surprised that your film just went down the road to Brighton? And it literally is down the road.

It's down the road from me, to be honest. Yeah. So they were all surprised they actually left Pinewood Studios. I think so.

Although a lot of the interiors for the shooting range and all that sort of stuff were in Pinewood Studios. But at least they did actually go on the pier and they did go to the seafront. So, you know, yeah, yeah. You can see that they're actually having a good time.

It looks like that sequence, not to give anything away. It's probably the best sequence in the movie. I mean, I don't really want to talk about it here, but do you think that's because that's the root of a Carry on film? That's the same postcard idea.

Postcard. Yeah, absolutely. Absolutely. So, so, so James, he had a kind of leery persona.

No. Yeah, a little bit. And they kind of diluted it a little bit in this movie, which was because he'd had a lot of criticisms from the previous movie, who was Carry on Henry. Right.

It was a bit old to be chasing women half his age at this point. Pretty much. And I think there was one Carry on movie where he was making suggestions to like someone that was supposed to be his daughter as well. And I think they were like, whoa, okay.

Let's dial this back a little bit. But then they carried it on after the next movie. Yeah. That's a normal.

You know, Renny Houston would put Tate behind her ears to try and give herself a bit of facelift. You know, I think that's the second time you said her name. What character did she play in the film? She plays Vic's mum.

Oh, I've got some things to say about her. I'm sure you do. Yes. She wanted to look younger.

Absolutely. I always kind of feel like when I watch this movie that she thinks she's in the movie. She thinks she's in kind of a 1960s kitchen sink drama. Again, I want to talk about it later.

But it's a character that I have problems with. Okay. All right. We've got to talk about it when we get there, are we?

Yeah. When we start talking about Taranah's son. Yeah. I know we don't always do alternate titles for the claims program for harmed Canadians has begun as a result of a landmark tobacco settlement.

If you smoked regularly before November 20, 1998, man were diagnosed with lung cancer, throat cancer, emphysema, or COPD, you may qualify for a significant payment. Or go to tobaccoplamescanada.ca. Films that we talk about. This is something that we talk about a lot in the Buffy podcast that I do.

Well, you do a Buffy podcast? I do, yes. What's that called? It's called Once More With Buffy.

Oh. Very nice. Yeah. This is the point where I put a trailer in if I'd recorded one, but I don't have it.

So I can't. But, you know, that wasn't a plug, by the way, but kind of was. But some alternate titles for this film include Germany's A Dangerous Strike. I mean, if I went to sit down to watch a film with dangerous strike, I'm expecting an action film.

You are, you are indeed. Hungary had carry on your way, carry on your way. Meaningless? Yep.

And the awards for the most bizarre goes to Poland for carry on. How do you make your bed? What the heck? And that was the only reason why I wanted to mention it because that just blew on that one.

That's carry on how to make your bed. I have no idea where they got that from. There's no bed in it. Is it, you know, you made your bed now lay in it?

Yes, but that's really sort of like going off on a side tangent there, isn't it? Yeah. You know what? More epic about it.

I'm great to like it. Alright, okay. And the only other thing that I was going to say is that there were some promotional tie-ins with this movie that were organized with bathroom product companies. Of course there was.

Obviously, yes. Did that with many carry on movies? Yeah, yeah, because I'll carry on up the kyber. Spears.

It was a big run of spears for that one. Alright. What do you think they were doing a promotion with for carry on Emmanuel? Fans.

Yeah, there are a lot of fans in it, aren't they? Yeah, yeah. And that's it. Alright.

Before we start, I'd just like to say that on my commute to the salt mines, there's nothing better than listening to a really good podcast. Oh, this one? No, no. I said really good.

I've been listening to CD BIMCO. Oh, what's up back then? About an hour. But, hey, I'll let them tell you all about it.

I'm George O'Connor, the New York Times bestselling author of the Olympians and Asgardians. I'm Tim Hamilton, cartoonist with the New York. Here at Stenny BIMCO, we watch movies of dubious quality and fabricate revenge sequels for them that they never had before. We also have fun games such as George's current currency current.

diapers in 1960 cost $1. What do you think they would cost today, Tim? $4. Save them, go part two of the revenge.

Every Wednesday, anyplace, you listen to podcasts. That sounds good. Yeah, so you're really good after listening to that one. Yeah, so, but meanwhile, let's get back to our own professional excuse for a podcast.

At a factory somewhere in England, behind closed doors, a group of dedicated gents, get to the bottom of a delicate problem. I don't think I can scan it for more than half an hour. It was hard to design for a meeting room. Look at this, pretty standard, it's pretty standard, it's pretty neat, isn't it?

It's tree lined before. Wind-resistant. Yes, it's your favorite comedy team going round the band again in Carry Out Your Convenience, produced by Peter Rogers, directed by Joel Thomas. Get out!

Look at this news, and that's not you, and you're not trying to wear industrial employees. Well, you know what you can do with that rule book. I'm now calling for an immediate shopping of work. All those in favor?

Raise your right hands. Everybody out. I'll get going. When these workers of the world unite, they have nothing to lose, but their dignity.

Hey, I'm Mr. Spann, I just didn't take your drink. I'm not drinking. They're coming back.

I had a feeling they wouldn't do that. Why today? It's the annual work, Johnny. It was only a camera.

I'm a car-hole. Mad fan of oil. Oh, do you think I'll do it? I mean, I've heard that selfish do things doing things.

In a sex, right? Really? Oh, let's watch it for a bit, then. You'll burst with laughter when this crazy gang decides it's one out, all out, to relieve another work stoppage in Carry Out Your Convenience.

I was warned you, ladies. This strike is quite legitimate. That's more than a say about you. Carry Out Your Convenience are all the stars you love to laugh at.

Sydney James. That's all I need. A face full of shucking niggas. Kenneth Williams, Charles Hotry, Jones Sims, Patty Jakes, Bernard Breslach, Kenneth Co.

Patsy Rollo, Jackie Piper. Here I am, long last darling. Richard O'Callaghan. Come on, you lot.

Don't anger that. Carry out working. Carry Out Your Convenience, the biggest baseball fan since the invention of water. No.

So we get right into the toilet jokes with the credits being written on a roll of toilet paper. Because we get some sort of jokey alternate tiles, don't we? We do, yes. Oh, by the way, we didn't do the usual gag that we do.

It's a rank film. Oh, you're telling me. We've got it. It's got to be done.

Yeah, very enough. So we get like an animated hand that scrolls down toilet roll, don't we? Yeah. And we get different titles for the movie, which are down the spout.

Carry on down the spout. Okay. Ladies, please be seated. Nice.

Up the workers. Up the workers. And the last one is, Labour relations are the people who come to see you when you're having a baby. That's an odd one, but all right?

Yeah. It doesn't really work. Any of it, does it? No.

Yeah. Unfortunately, it's a bad sign to begin with, but let's go. So we do open in a toilet factory. We have Vic Spanner and his mate Bernie Hulk.

And the actor playing Vic Spanner, is he due to the carry on series? Yeah. He is someone that we've seen before in an episode, isn't he? He is.

Go out and tell the audience. Well, he's usually a ghost, isn't he? That's right. He is.

He's dead. Wow. Wait. Hang on.

I'm talking about, I'm talking about. I'm talking about. Red to ghost. You're red.

Randalin, hot perk, deceased. That's right. He is. He is.

He is deceased. I know. Yeah. RIP.

The company's called Bog and Son, by the way. That is. The older is called WC. Yeah.

Nice to see old fashioned production line workers. Those days are long gone right now. Yeah. Yeah.

They're just checking off toilet deliveries. So it's an in joke that it's a toilet factory because the carry on series was always accused of being offered more than toilet humor. Yeah. I think that's probably what I'm going for, isn't it?

Yeah. Did he say why WCWigan? I think he did, yes. Did he say?

Yeah. So is this a Wigan? No. He's sending toilets to Wigan.

They're sending toilets to Wigan. Okay. Yeah. We all know we need a toilet and Wigan.

Yeah. That's straight. Just the one. The only thing.

One big toilet. Yeah. Isn't that how you used to refer to the tone calling? One big toilet.

I'm sure I heard that from you. Could never go back. Yeah. You can't, can you?

No. Elseword, WCBogs, the factory owner. Sid Plummer, the works farmer and the designer, Charles Koot, are reviewing the new toilet designs. And they're using this withering, which is WCBogs personal secretary, to keep sitting on them, to test their strength.

You know, three minutes in and we've already had three or four of Sid's laughs. Yes. Yes. That is one of the problems with this.

Yeah. Not just, yeah. Everything is punctuated with that kind of laugh. Either his or all of them.

It feels a little bit like the script is trying to do something and then they've chopped all the carry on stuff over it. You know, to try and make it carry on movie. When the kind of wrote is trying to say something profound or something about what he feels about, you know, workers and unions and things like that. But then he thought, I'll go check all this carry on stuff over it as well.

So, oh, let's just get Sid to do one of his laughs here and there. You know, let's have someone, let's have Kenny do this. But it's not a do you writer. It's a writer of majority of the carry on.

Yeah, but it feels like he had an agenda in this movie. You know? You've got to say in this scene, though, that you never know that Kenneth Williams was so unhappy with the material because he's always given a hundred percent, isn't he? It does.

It does, although I think in this film, he almost feels like a cameo role. That's going to be one of my issues, that there's not enough of certain things in this. Right, right. Lewis, the boss's son, wants to move the company forward by making B-days.

Obviously, bugs find some disgusting. So, Plumber doesn't even know what one is. Yeah, I would imagine that in 1971, a B-day was kind of exotic. I think the first B-day I ever encountered was in Spain.

Yeah. That must have been the 80s. Yeah. You used it, did you?

Yeah, yeah. Yeah, yeah. I keep the feet clean. I was going to ask you, it was fun.

Yeah. Did it tickle the eyebrows? Oh, but it flushed the evidence. Yeah.

Yeah. Is this Richard O'Callaghan? That's his name, isn't it? Is this his only carry on appearance?

I believe so. So, I was going to say this later, but do you think this role is, I've got big spanner, or Lewis, and I'm leaning towards Lewis was Jim Dale's role. Yeah, I think so too. And Richard O'Callaghan is kind of playing it in a very naturalistic way, whereas everyone else is doing the height and carry on thing that everyone does.

And we should point out that not just heightened as an horrible carry on film, but heightened turn to 11. Oh, absolutely. Whereas he isn't though. He isn't.

No. No. But I think if he'd been in a different carry on film, he'd been OK. Yeah, absolutely.

Because this is ramping it up. Yeah. And do you think that's because they kind of know that they're onto a bit of a loser with this one? I don't know what the deal was.

I was going to say that this almost comes across as a parody of the carry on films. Yeah. We're in 71. Right?

This is 71 this movie. We're not quite the the the the doldrums of carry on. We're not into carry on England and all that kind of thing, are we? But we're at the bend.

We're at the we're at the cast. We're at the new bend. We're at the cast. We're at the couple of movies after this.

I mean, we've we've covered a few of them. Or quickly. You know, but yeah, we are very much on the cusp. Yeah.

But we're not quite into the doldrums. You know, we're not in carry on England or carry on Emmanuel at this point. No, we've not hit rock bottom. Not yet.

No, but it's on the horizon, I think. Yeah. Yeah. Do you think the carry on films would have been better if they'd just at this point switched the entire cast to a younger axis?

No. OK, so you feel that they should have carried on? I think they should have carried on with the carry on. I think they should have carried on with the original.

Yeah. Oh, really? Even though they're starting to look the rage. I don't think that matters.

It matters because we've grown up along with them. Yeah, but is that nostalgia talking? If you've been at that time, would you feel the same way? Oh, absolutely.

I think so. If we'd have been around in. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. In. In.

In. In. been played that afternoon. By the way, Mortal Plumber, played by Jackie Piper, brings the tea.

If you had somebody look like that, bring in your tea, would you ever get any work done, Paul? Yeah, because I'm a rock. Are you saying you heard? Not the second, no.

Oh, okay. So I was watching this scene. I felt it went on for too long this scene. And Jones Sims, she didn't like this movie very much.

And you can kind of see why, because all she's doing is just playing that slightly mucky, subsessed, stereo side, isn't she? Every other line that she says is just some kind of way and all that kind of thing. And it goes on for too long and it gets very time. I think.

Right. Right. But isn't that the contrast between our home life and that it doesn't really, it's not really happening at home? Yeah, I get that.

I get that. But this scene, it goes on for way too long. And there's too many of those. It's the same gag over and over and over again.

It's just too much. And everyone's laughing, right? Everyone's laughing. Everyone's laughing, you know.

But is that life in a factory in the 60s? Is it? Is it? I mean, we don't know.

You know what I mean? Hatti Jakes seems to be playing a character. She'll go on to playing the following year in the TV show, Sikes. Yeah, it's very similar, very similar.

Yeah. But there's a lot of difference here in that normally Hatti Jakes, when she's there to play characters who are married to Sierdah with a housewife, the house wouldn't be in ruins. So what's going on here? Do you think the plane on the idea that, okay, she's obsessed with this bird, isn't she?

Yeah, yeah, yeah. Her character is is barred of the life that she has. Yeah, I can see that. Yeah.

She's barred of being the housewife is expected to do the things that the housewife has expected to do in early 1970s. She's also, weirdly, one of the most interesting characters in this film, I think. I think she's one of the ones that comes out of it at the end, at the end of the movie, as actually not being the person that you think she's been through the entire movie. Right.

Whereas everyone else comes, it's kind of one note. I just want to be slightly with you. I think Vic Spanner is an interesting character too. I don't know.

He's kind of one note though, isn't he? I mean, he's just, you think? You don't think? Yeah.

No, and I'll explain when we get to him. Oh, okay. All right. Okay.

I do like the line one, I like the fact that he is, Sid is belittling, not belittling, but he's just moaning that Hattie, I'm going to mix up actors. I did the same in my notes as well. Yeah. The BT is spending so much time with the bird, but then when she leaves, he's doing it too.

Yeah, I thought that was funny. Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. Because he buys a honey ring with a budgeric. Yeah. At this point, he doesn't know what's going to cut.

He's not like he's doing for that reason. He's just trying to get him with the bird, isn't he? Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And I do like that. She's like, oh, you're ruining him. You're making fat.

And she's like, what? He's like, one honey ring won't shut him up if I fart that about you loads of ages ago. Yeah. Yeah.

I wrote that one down as well. The other one that made me chuckle for some reason was when he's asking about getting some some dinner and she says, I could make you some beans on toast. And he says, no, nothing. Don't put you.

Don't put yourself out. Yeah. That made me chuckle. Yeah.

Yeah. We also learned that Murtle Plumber is Sid of BT's data, although she's never seen at home in the entire film. Yeah. Other than the fact that you get that scene at the end of the movie, when he says, what have you, what was your something doing with my daughter?

You wouldn't know that she is his daughter, other than the fact that she mentions it. It is mentioned in this scene. Yeah. That's what I see only time.

It says where is Murtle, which is, oh, she's gone out somewhere. And that's it. Do you think it needed some kind of at least one scene, whether she's at home with them, just to cement it a little bit? Don't know.

I just thought it was interesting that she's not there. Whether that was a, whether that was a statement and life in the 70s, maybe different generations, the new generation coming through. There's kind of a, um, a blessed this house kind of vibe to this movie, don't you think? Sid's character is very much this house at this point.

Yes. Yeah. Yeah. So we do get various scenes in the shop factory workers in their home life.

Chloe and Miles Hossman think Sid is after her. I did like the line when he refers to Jones Simms' breasts as looking like two bald-headed convicts trying to burst out of jail. But the Jones Simms character, I think, would have worked better if it was played by Bob, Barbara Windsor. Okay.

You know, that would have made more sense to me. Who isn't in this film? Who isn't in it? And it's less because of it, I think.

Yeah. So we got a fixed manners house and he's real by his mother, Agatha. Do you not think this role would have been a cinch for Diana D'Ars? Oh, absolutely.

Absolutely. Yeah. Do you ever wonder why was Diana D'Ars never in a carry-on film? I would imagine that the, now, carry-on movies, she probably wanted a little bit more money than they were offering.

Even in the 70s? I would imagine so. I mean, Diana D'Ars was still Diana D'Ars, wasn't she? You know.

She did not change your name. That is correct, Pa. You know what I mean. I mean, she's, I still think she probably would have demanded a little bit more money.

You think? Okay. Yeah. Now, this is where I find Spanner is an interesting character, is that because he's the union shop steward, so he's bossing people around, he's calling strikes.

But here in this house, it's his dominant mother, domineering, domineering mother that is in control. And she is actually really nasty. Like, I think this is the nastiest character that has ever been in a carry-on film. Yeah.

Like I said earlier, I feel like the way that this character's being played is not a carry-on movie character. It's more akin to like those 1960s kitchen sinkdrammers, you know. Saturday nights, Sunday nights. Yeah, something like that, you know.

Your bloody usual, if you are. Yeah, yeah, yeah. It's just like you're dead forever. Oh my god.

Where the laughs? Come on. Yeah, yeah. That's like, so I think it's interesting because obviously he takes out his lack of manliness in the household control by his mum on the factory workers.

Oh, yeah. I never thought of that. Yeah, yeah. Yeah.

Could be. Could be. Yeah. I can see that.

Yeah. I'm not entirely convinced, but it's something. That's why he's nasty to his friend all the time because it's the only person you can control. Oh, burning.
