Carry On is a British institution, but thanks to the censors there is a wealth of unseen material in the archives. This book reveals the wicked double entendres and jokes that were deemed too risque for the eyes and ears of sensitive cinema goers. Geen bibliotheekbeschrijvingen gevonden. |

Following a brief history of the Carry On films, there is a whole chapter dedicated to Peter Rogers, with chapters covering lots of behind-the-scenes stories, as well as deleted scripts, and over one hundred photos (over one third in full colour).
Even though the Carry On films of the sixties and seventies relied on naughty jokes (carrying on in the Music Hall tradition) about erections, having 'it' off, and the odd bouncing bosom, the censors simply could not see the funny side and in their misguided attempts, to defend the morality of the viewing cinema goers, would be determined to cut something; and so a game of cat and mouse occurred with producer/director Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas pitting their wits against John Trevelyan of the BBFC in a cycle of tit-for-tat, with the producers often forced to create content they knew would catch the eye of the censors as a kind of sacrificial goat, allowing other scenes to slip by unmolested.
Despite the 'uncensored' warning in the title, and the provocative (censored) topless photo of Babs adorning the front cover, their are absolutely NO saucy pictures in this book. Just like the movies themselves, it's all a bit of harmless fun. ;) ( )
