Editor's choice.

Not much on the box but plenty on YouTube. As editor of Carry On Langport it'll be no surprise that the film I recommend is 'Cor Blimey'. Made in 2000, it's a dramatisation of the real-life love affair that took place between Sid James and Barbara Windsor.
The funny and sometimes poignant film includes several behind-the-scenes moments on the Carry On films in the 1960s and 70s. Barbara Windsor collaborated with the writers and many scenes play out what Kenneth Williams wrote in his diaries, published after his death. Windsor actually appears in the final scene of the film. Go on - it's almost a Carry On film in itself, it'll make you chuckle and it's worth a look.


Or go back to 1983 and check out this genius in ITV's 'An Audience with Kenneth Williams'
