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 three 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.

Our House

Carry On
Christmas

Television:
The only 'official' 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 . . . .
