      Charles Hawtrey on set with his mother

      Sid Boggle and Bernie Lugg take their girlfriends, Joan and Anthea, to the cinema to watch a film about nudists at a holiday camp; the girls are not amused and find the film offensive but it doesn’t stop Sid and Bernie secretly planning to take them there on holiday.

      They decide the best course of action is to remain tight-lipped about the destination chosen for the camping holiday, but by the time they arrive at the site in Devon, the girls have twigged where they’ve heard the name Paradise Camp and want to head home; but after driving for hours, Sid tells them they’re going in. He’s soon disappointed, though, when everyone is walking around fully-clothed and he realises he’s picked the wrong site.

      Other campers at the site include the Potters, who arrive on their tandem for yet another stint in the muddy fields of Paradise, much to the reluctance of Peter, who’s not only fed up with camping but with his wife, too. Charlie Muggins, meanwhile, is an irritant who’s forever scrounging off fellow campers, while a coachload of girls from Chayste Place, a finishing school, bring smiles to the faces of Sid Boggins and Bernie Lugg, who feel they’re not making much progress with their girlfriends. They begin flirting with Babs and Fanny, but attempts to lure them into their tents are continually scuppered.

      Meanwhile, Peter Potter becomes a changed man. After turning to the bottle through sheer frustration with life, a chance encounter sees him invited to the tent of the promiscuous Jane, one of the schoolgirls; the experience works wonders and he asserts himself on his domineering wife; after throwing Charlie Muggins out of the tent, which he’s been sharing since arriving at the camp site, he drags his wife inside for a bit of nooky.

      Kenneth Williams was a crucial part of the Carry Ons

      Sid (Sid James) and Jim (Julian Holloway) don hippy gear and wreak havoc with the electrics

      Over in Sid and Bernie’s tent, they’re waiting for Babs and Fanny to arrive, but when loud music is heard in the adjoining field, they rush to investigate and find the girls enjoying themselves at an all-nite rave. Eventually the campers drive the hippies away, but the girls go, too. Sid and Bernie, however, realise they don’t need Babs and Fanny when they’ve got Joan and Anthea, but first they have to deal with the arrival of Mrs Fussey, who’s worried about her daughter’s well-being.

      CARSTAIRS, MAJOR

      Played by Peter Butterworth

      Accompanies the Brigadier when he visits the experimental 1313 anti-aircraft battery to see how Captain Melly, who’s recently taken charge of the base in England, is surviving.

      CARTER, CYRIL

      Played by Kenneth Cope

      Cyril, who’s seen in Matron, was only six when his mother, Gertie, died. He promised her he’d follow in his father’s footsteps by becoming a small-time crook, but later claims he hardly knew what he wanted from life at that stage because he was only a kid. When offered a job in insurance, he seriously considers accepting until his father makes him feel guilty about breaking the promise made to his mother.

      When his father believes he can earn a packet selling the Pill abroad, Cyril reluctantly agrees to don a nurse’s outfit and pretend to be a student at the Finisham Maternity Hospital
