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 today, the film closed ITV3's festive Carry On season, and
featured twelve Doctor Who cast connections:
- for Windsor (Nurse Ball) see Carry On Spying
- for Sims (Miss Tidy) see Carry On Nurse
- for Kenneth Cope (Carter) see Carry On At Your Convenience
- for Derek Francis see Carry On Doctor
- for Jill Goldston and Walter Henry see Carry On Cleo
- for Wendy Richard see Carry On Girls

- assistant art director William Alexander was a draughtsman on Daleks' Invasion Earth 2150 AD
