Classic Friday : Carry On Camping (1969) 7/10

Starring : Sid James, Bernard Bresslaw, Joan Sims, Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor, Hattie Haqcues
Director : Gerald Thomas
Running Time : 85 mins

Sid Boggle (James) and Bernie Lugg (Bresslaw) decide to take their girlfriends camping, planning on getting them to a nudist camp for a little bit of nudey fun, but when they end up at the wrong campsite they find themselves surrounded by a group of incredibly unlikely campers, including a gang of hippies and a coach load of sex-starved school girls.

This movie took the summer of 69 and gave it a distinctly British twist. Filled with moments of total political incorrectness, this classic bawdy movie still looks as appealing today as it did forty years ago. Containing some of the Carry On teams most famous scenes, including the infamous scene where Barbara Windsor loses her top, this is one of the most popular of the series, although definitely not the best.
