Following the box office failure ofCarry On At Your Convenience, the
twenty-third production from the
British film stable (released in 1972)
was a return to the popular medical
setting.
Along with Carry On Abroad (the next
title in the run) this comedy included
the largest regular cast - stalwarts
Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Hattie Jacques, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw,
Charles Hawtrey, Barbara Windsor,
and Kenneth Connor all starred here.
Patsy Rowlands and Jacki Piper also
returned (both in their fifth roles),
whilst Terry Scott made his final
appearance and Jack Douglas made
his series debut. Shown on ITV3 today, the film featured these thirteen
