This is pretty much the only modern day Carry On film of the whole bunch, unless you count Constable or Spying, and it's quite good. Basically Sid Boggle (Sid James) and Bernie Lugg (Bernard Bresslaw) with their girlfriends, Joan Fussey (Joan Sims) and Anthea Meeks (Dilys Laye), see a short film in the cinema about camping, when in fact it is about a nude camp. So looking around a camping shop, they find the information they were looking for, about "Camp Paradise" owned by Josh Fiddler (Peter Butterworth), but they certainly had other expectations when they get there, no nudity. Soon enough though, a bus filled with school girls, led by Dr. Kenneth Soaper (Kenneth Williams) and Miss Haggard (Hattie Jacques), arrive and they automatically change their minds about leaving. Sid has his attention set on the cute Babs (Barbara Windsor). Other characters in the camp include the helpless Charlie Muggins (Charles Hawtrey), and Peter Potter (Terry Scott) with his very irritating wife Harriet (Betty Marsden). It is interesting that most of the stars use their own shortened names, and there are some good saucy gags, including the well known scene where Babs' bra pings off during exercising, just a good old fashioned comedy. Carry On films were number 39 on The 100 Greatest Pop Culture Icons. Good!
