Summary: WHAT A CARRY ON!
Review: OK, WHERE DO I BEGIN, THIS SERIES OF 13 CLASSIC TALES FROM CERTAIN PARTS OF HISTORY REALLY DOES BRING OUT THE CREAM OF THE CARRY ON TEAM. NEAR ENOUGH EVERY CARRY ON STAR APPEARS IN THIS SERIES AT SOME POINT OR ANOTHER, THE SCRIPTS ARE VERY FLIMSY AND VERY WEAK AT TIMES, BUT THE TEAM MAKE THE MOST OF THIS AND MAKE THEM GEMS. THE BEST EPISODE FOR ME WAS "THE CASE OF THE SCREAMING WINKLES", IT'S JUST PURE BRILLIANCE AND GREAT TIMING AND INTERACTION BEETWEEN JACK DOUGLAS AND KENNETH CONNOR. THIS SERIES IS JUST SIMPLY GREAT!!!

Summary: something missing
Review: This is a major disappointment as most of the beloved Carry On gang are missing. Sid James appears five times, Hattie Jacques only once and Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey not at all. Laughs are scarce and it's easy to see why this series was short lived.

Summary: pretty good
Review: This is a set of twelve half hour British television episodes. They satirize several periods of English history and the Lord Peter Wimsey novels. To get the most fun from the program you will need to know the details of the historical and fictional situations that are satirized. The cast also appeared in the highly successful Carry On movie series some of which can be purchased here at Amazon.com.
