Doctor Who Vs. Carry On Cowboy

Series stalwarts Sid James, Kenneth

Williams, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey,

and Jim Dale all returned for the

eleventh production in the iconic

Carry On franchise. Angela Douglas

and Peter Butterworth (1919-1979)

made their series debuts here.

After the historical panto that was

Carry On Cleo (1964), the next title

in the run was an ambitious Western

inspired by The Sheriff of Fractured

Jaw (1958), where Kenneth More

played an Englishman in the Wild

West.

Shown on ITV3 today, the comedy

(released in late 1965) featured Jon Pertwee (pictured left as Sheriff Earp
