Carry On Flogging That Dead Horse
So there's to be a new Carry On film. Starring such top quality comedy actors as Vinnie Jones, Carry On London is finally in production after a three year delay caused by issues with the financing. Really? They had trouble finding the money for what will clearly be a number 1 worldwide smash? I'm shocked!
Seriously - In the way that I used to think Doctor Who would never come back, I've always been sure that someone somewhere would find a way to do new Carry Ons, blithely ignoring the fact that the originals were at least as much about that specific set of performers as they were about the scripts or the plots (and I use that term in its loosest possible sense).
I'm sure all involved will give it their all, but nothing they do will make it possible for me to go and see a performance by Kenneth and Hattie and Charlie and co.
