    Silly duffer:p You know Charlie's name in Cabby. Norman Chappell is that common English actor that plays small roles in plenty of films. He played Allbright in Cabby.

    When Kenneth Williams is peeping through a peephole in Camping, what gets squirted into his eye?

    In Screaming, who plays the toilet attendant?

    In Convenience, who loses their trousers when trying to mount a motorbike?

    In Abroad, what is the name of the holiday destination?

    Where was CO Abroad filmed.

    Who played the cook.

    Why was she cast for such a small role.

    Who played Mr & Mrs Blunt.

    France?

    Just a wild guess.
    No Terry. The Carry On franchise was run on a shoestring budget, so the producers could not afford off shore filming locations. Even the big five Sid James, Barbara Windsor, Hattie Jacques,Joan Sims, Kenneth Williams,were only paid a couple of thousand pounds per picture.
    I wont answer as I think Jess knows.

    The carpark at the studio.

    Hattie Jacques.

    She was a big lady and the producers couldn't get insurance for her so she was confined to the kitchen and dining area while filming.


    June Whitfield and Kenneth Connor?

    Kenneth Williams was a tour rep but can't think of his name.

    Great questions Craig (⁠•⁠‿⁠•⁠)

    Great answers Jess.

    Kenneth Williams played Mr Farquar. Peter Butterworth with the worst Spanish accent I have ever heard, kept calling him Mr Farkiarse.

    Sad about Hattie. She was only given 4 minutes screen time because of her deteriorating health after which the insurers insisted Abroad was her last film. But Peter Rogers did not agree and she made another two years later, her last this time.
