      CAROL

      Played by Sherrie Hewson

      In Behind she arrives at the Riverside Caravan Site by bike with her friend, Sandra. They hoped to camp at the site but are disappointed to find only caravans are allowed, that is until Sandra shows a bit of leg to the owner, Major Leep, and suggests she might need a massage later to aid her aching leg; the sight of flesh sees the Major bending the rules to accommodate the girls. Others who take a fancy to the girls include Fred and Ernie, two middle-aged men enjoying a short break away from their wives, but the girls are more interested in the students from the University of Kidburn who are helping Professor Crump with his archaeological dig.

On the big screen, she’s been seen in films such as A Town Like Alice, Yesterday’s Enemy, Genghis Khan and 2001: A Space Odyssey.

      CARRYOONS, THE

      In production at the time of writing, the idea behind the Carryoons was conceived in 1999 when Ken Burns approached Peter Rogers with an idea to produce twenty-six half-hour cartoons based around the legendary characters in the films. With Rogers’ backing, Burns – who’d edited ITV’s documentary, What’s A Carry On?, celebrating forty years of the film canon – began working on a pilot episode. Although the idea wasn’t to remake the films, it was agreed to kick-off by basing the pilot around a familiar premise – Camping.

      Once the pilot, titled Carryoon Camping, was complete, it was taken to the MIP COM 2001, Europe’s biggest TV market, in Cannes to try and attract interest from within the industry. Although, as yet, the pilot has yet to be transmitted, further episodes in the series are currently being made.

Carstairs later follows him to Algiers but attempts to retrieve the formula are foiled by the bumbling Simkins and his team.
