Narrated by Martin Clunes, the three-part Carry On Forever will be the centrepiece of the channel’s celebrations.
It’s billed as “the definite guide” to the series and includes new cast interviews, never before seen behind the scenes footage, and contributions from Amanda Barrie, Liz Fraser, Bernard Cribbins, Juliet Mills, Sally Geeson, June Whitfield, Shirley Eaton, Fenella Fielding and Jim Dale.
Clunes says: “Carry On films were a staple when I was growing up and this documentary charts their development through changing tastes over the years like a weird, saucy social history.”
Executive Producer, Mark Robinson, added: “Carry On is the most successful and best loved brand in British movie comedy history, influencing generations of comedians.
“Stars like Sid James, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Williams have remained icons to this day, their faces and catch-phrases known the world over.”
