Carry on Laughing!	comment	Carry on Laughing! is a British TV comedy series released in 1975, which was intended to bring the Carry On franchise to the small screen at a time when the films were declining in popularity. Several long-time Carry On regulars appear, alongside team members who joined later in the film series' run (and who are given more prominent roles here). Notable absences are Kenneth Williams, who declined to appear, and Charles Hawtrey, who had been dropped from the team after Carry On Abroad due to a dispute about billing order.As with some of the "Carry On" films, the episodes are parodies of other films, TV shows, books or periods of British history, with episodes inheriting many tropes from their source material. The format falls mid-way between a series and an anthology - while the stories and settings from each episode are generally unrelated, the same setting is sometimes used for two or three non-consecutive episodes.The episode "Orgy and Bess" marked the final Carry On roles for both Sid James and Hattie Jacques.Not to be confused with the stage play of the same name.

Carry on Laughing! / int_9cc1a329	comment	Upper-Class Twit: All the members of the Bulgen-Plunger family qualify, but especially Sir Harry's son, Willie. He returns from exploring the Amazon having found carnivorous fish called "bananas", and then has his army commission bought for him by his father, a responsibility he'd rather not have. Tends to bore everyone stiff while attempting to regale them with tales of his adventures. He's still a jolly nice chap, though.

Carry on Laughing! / int_a04fe73e	comment	Imposter Forgot One Detail: Not so much "forgot" as "couldn't help". Arnold is extremely short-sighted and has to wear glasses; alas, the Crown Prince has perfect eyesight. Arnold therefore has to go without his glasses when impersonating the prince, even while learning swordfighting. Hilarity (and a lot of damaged furniture) ensues.
