Carry On No.5
19 April 2020
Not as good as the first 4, it got a bit daft in this one, not funny, just daft, this situation comedy is set in a employment agency.

Sid James is the lead for the 2nd time as the boss of the agency, and the rest of the Carry On team are the workers Bill Owen is back and they have a new glamorous face in Liz Fraser, very nice. Terry Longden does his last, but he had plenty of work after, he retired in 2003 and sadly passed away in 2011 aged 88. Joan Hickson is also back, in a cameo, this time swapping roles with Hattie Jacques who plays the sister. Other cameos are with Terence Alexander, Fenella Fielding, David Lodge and Victor Maddern Again. Julia Arnall provided a bit more glamour. Norman Rossington did a few of these early Carry On's this was his last also, he only had a bit role, he passed away in 1999 aged 70, his last role was in 1996, strangely enough he is in one film in 2018 liste on imdb, it is actually 2 old TV episodes cobbled together to make a TV movie.

It is still in a fifties style but with a bit of daftness creeping in, not to great but not that bad. It gets better.
