How do you even review this iconic film?
Carry on Camping is a national institution, from a Golden age of British comedy, one of those films I think every person has seen at least once.
A truly wonderful cast, they are all on top notch form, Kenneth Williams is utterly brilliant as the snooty headmaster, he combined so well with Hattie Jacques, who in turn delivered her lines with utter gusto, almost tragically. Every other cast member came up trumps, I absolutely loved Betty Marsden, sensationally funny as Harriet Potter, the domineering wife of Terry Scott's Peter Potter. Harriet's laugh has me in stitches every time.
Carry on Camping is a legendary film, Charles Hawtrey gets some of the funniest ever lines, the sequence with the Farm girl 'Couldn't your father do that?' 'no it has to be the bull,' his face is immensely funny.
As British as it comes, a film to enjoy again and again. 9/10
