           Films: Several of the 'Carry On' films were not originally planned as part of the series but were subsequently retitled to include them as the cast and production crew were basically the standard 'Carry On' team. There were at least four other productions which were 'Carry On' films in all but actual name but which were not subsequently blessed with the retitling that would have allowed them to be included in the official series list. ' Nurse On Wheels' might be considered a fifth. Watch Your Stern (1960) Raising The Wind (1961) Twice Round The Daffodils (1962) The Big Job (1965) Television: The only 'official' Sixties television 'Carry On' production was a 1969 Christmas special, but there was also a little-remembered 1960 comedy series which bore more than a passing resemblance to the genre . . . .

Carry
On Christmas
Talbot
Rothwell - Writer (3,4) |
   |
The
'Carry-On Team' did a TV special series of four one-hour shows
with festive themes for Thames Television. The first one, in 1969,
generically called 'Carry On Christmas' (the actual production
being titled 'Ghosts Of Christmas') was transmitted at 9:15pm
on 24th December and was loosely based on Charles Dickens' classic
'A Christmas Carol'.
Of the other three, 1970 was a pantomime-style parody of Treasure Island titled 'Carry On Again Christmas: Carry On Long John' with Barbara Windsor playing the unlikely part of cabin boy Jim Hawkins. 1972 was an anthology of Christmas stories titled 'Carry On Christmas: Carry On Stuffing' and 1973, the last, was a Carry On-style rewrite of history which reverted to the simple title of 'Carry On Christmas'.
