Carry On Fanvid

Okay, so I have been tiring myself out doing various things, one of which was this! I know most of you aren't interested in Carry On films, understandably, but anyway I didn't think I could manage this before I started (I collected the clips in a sort of spirit of mild hopefulness and lack of anything better to do), but I did

Aw, thank you! I was determined to do it, because my searches have never been able to bring up a Carry On tribute, so I thought there ought to be one! And, yes. The director and producer wouldn't have anyone who wasn't absolutely professional, partly because they made them at such a speed! And, yes, they are forever on the TV...

The song wasn't one I had thought of, but I spotted it on a CD and then it wouldn't go away, but I think it does work. I was just worried it was a bit more negative in some ways.

And thanks, because I remember seeing the fanvid you made a while back and it was brilliant!! (I can't remember if I commented then; it might have been a bad day. But it was v good, so nice feedback from you is extra nice, if that makes sense.)

Oh, I enjoyed that!! I love Joan Sims (and yes, Hattie Jacques and quite a few of the others) - for all their faults, the Carry On movies I recall, no matter how silly and sometimes cheesy they got you couldn't help liking the characters - the acting was just that good :)

Thanks! I'm so glad some people who aren't me did! :-) And, yes, my original idea was actually to do a Joan Sims tribute, but I thought the song might be a bit negative - but would just be fun if it was everyone. And, after all, everyone else was pretty great, too, especially people like Hattie, and tiny, mad Esma Cannon, and Patsy Rowlands. And, really everyone...

I always liked them, as I used to watch them with my Dad, but I did a media studies project on them as a teen, which got me interested in them in lots of ways. And they made them at such a speed (literally most scenes were done in one take), the producer and the director simply wouldn't have anyone who wasn't good, even in a small part and it does show - even through all the terrible old gags and stuff. But, anyway, a minor obsession of mine I try not to show too much. But I wanted a fanvid!! :lol:

And thank you very much for the kind comment.

Thank you! I mean, I know it isn't perfect by any means, but I was really pleased with it. And just with there now being a Carry On fanvid in existence. :-)
