The romance between Sid James and Barbara Windsor

The post on the BBC4 drama Hattie, revealing the Carry On star Hattie Jacques troubled life reminded me of the following film, charting the romance between Carry On co-stars Sid James and Barbara Windsor, whilst also giving a feel of the Zeitgeist of those possibly for many more ingenuous times. https://youtu.be/fkA_N6YOaJk

Thanks for the link.

I like Sid James, have seen most of the Carry On films, and I've enjoyed seeing him in non-Carry On films, my favorites of those being: No Place Like Homicide!, What A Whopper, Weekend With Lulu, and Double Bunk.

And of course his last sitcom Bless This House.

I wasn't sure how people would react to the link so I'm glad somebody liked it. Looking back the Carry Ons were a product of their time, belonging to an era where going to the cinema to watch a film in colour was a regular weekend activity, and of course none of this angst which prevails in society today. Some might say they were b***** awful and should never have been made.


I also liked Sid in Bless This House with co-star Diana Coupland, the series again viewed from today being a nostalgic look back on how things used to be.
