Synopsis
Filmed on the same field as Camping, it could be
considered Carry On Camping the Return, and we lose half of our regulars to be
replaced by
competent comedians but not true Carry Oners.
The first in a long time not to be written by Talbot Rothwell and this does show. Where
Talbot Rothwell was clever with
taking normal situations and giving them a comedic twist with perhaps a classic one-liner
or retort, Dave Freeman is more repetitive and crude.
It is a sad point where we have to resort to Kenneth flashing his bum for a
cheap laugh.
Surprisingly, Elke Sommer is very good as
Professor Voushka, who with Professor Crump (Kenneth Williams) is sent on an
archaeological expedition to a caravan site, where other caravaners are enjoying their
holidays. We have Ernie (Jack Douglas) and
Fred (Windsor Davies) away under the pretensions of fishing when all Fred wants to do is
catch birds not fish.
Arthur (Bernard
Bresslaw) and Linda (Patsy Rowlands) are enjoying a week with the nagging mother-in-law
(Joan Sims). The only problem with the story
is that it is very disjointed. Each caravan
has little interaction with their neighbours and so the formula is very similar to
Regardless and Loving and again we are treated to
even more flesh with the topless dancer starting and ending the action.
