Synopsis

Sid Boggle (Sid James) is trying to get his girlfriend Joan Fussy (Joan Sims), and his friend Bernie Lugg (Bernard Bresslaw) and his girlfriend Anthea Meeks (Dilys Laye) to spend a week at a nudist campsite.  Upon arrival at ‘Paradise’ Sid is rather upset when he finds out that it is different to one he has seen advertised at the cinema, so instead he sets his sights on the group of school girls who are holidaying at the same camp. 

Peter Potter (Terry Scott) is having a bad time with yet another camping holiday, made even worse this time by having to share his tent with his wife, Harriet (Betty Marsden) who never stops talking and Charlie Muggins (Charles Hawtrey) a pathetic hitchhiker.

Probably the most famous Carry On, which everyone knows, possibly due to the infamous bra-popping scene.   Kenneth Williams and Hattie Jacques are on top form with the same kind of repartee they enjoy in Carry On Matron and, in fact, a hint is dropped about their relationship from a previous medical Carry On.  Sid James plays the letcherer with his usual aplomb to Bresslaw’s bumbling gentle giant.  Terry Scott is pushed to the front with a large part and holds up very well as the hen-pecked husband. This is one to induct a novice to the Carry On genre.
