No Flush In The Pan
10 May 2011
Warning: Spoilers
CARRY ON AT YOUR CONVENIENCE is about industrial disputes at a toilet- making factory. This being a Carry On film you also get sub-plots about a budgie that can pick winning horses and a works outing that includes the shooting up of a rifle range and copious consumption of alcohol. The trademark seaside postcard attitude to sex is on display with trousers (and skirts) being ripped off, much suggestive wordplay, strip poker, bunny girls and some friendly minded sexual harassment by both sexes. The narrative, such as it is, meanders around a factory making toilets (proprietor: W.C. Boggs) which is threatened with closure because of the copious strikes. Most of the plot is taken up with the pursuit of various women by various men (and vice versa) with varying degrees of success. There is even a BRIEF ENCOUNTER-esque ending for Sid James. It's all harmless fluff, gently humorous and, thirty years on, not without historical interest.
