Reviews

[Kevin Matthews · Rating 3 out of 5]

Assuming a prior knowledge of the Carry On movies (and I think that's a fair assumption to make for anyone tempted to read this), Robert Ross presents a personal journey through every movie, TV special, show, and theatre instalment of the beloved long-running comedy franchise. It's good to be reminded of what the best bits are, but there's not really enough here exploring the many ups and downs that occurred behind the scenes.
