Book Description: Who can forget the cheeky humour, outrageous characters and slapstick comedy that have characterised the ‘Carry On’ films over the last fifty years? Well, don’t lose your head if you discover that the 1,000 questions in this quiz book highlight a few holes in your memory and you end up in hospital screaming for the saucy nurse and ending up with the grumpy old matron!
Covering every aspect of the ‘Carry On’ genre – the movies, release dates, characters, the stars and their lives, debuts, and much more – this book will propel you on a whirlwind journey from the Wild West to the Khyber Pass and every conceivable location in between, hotfooting through a range of historical eras, and jumping between black-and-white and Technicolor worlds.
Even if you find you’re cruising on rough waters, carry on regardless, make the most of the entertainment facilities, delve into the treasure trove of facts and figures, and allow your fond recollections to turn your frowns into the smiles and giggles that encapsulate the ‘Carry On’ ethos.

Paul Burton: Since 1989, Paul Burton has written, produced, devised, staged, directed and appeared in a prolific number of not-for-profit theatre, film, television and radio productions. The ultimate aim of Paul's various projects is to create practical and unique opportunities for people of all ages and from all kinds of backgrounds to become involved in the arts. His television drama ‘Mirror, Mirror on the Wall’ received the Diamond Cable 7 Television Best Drama Production award in 1995 and ‘Televisual’ the Best Light Entertainment Programme award in 1997.
