Hospitals, of course, always provided the carry on producers with plenty of material. Today, these comedies induce a twinge of serious nostalgia for the great days of the national health service when matron hattie jacques, naturally ran the hospital as if it was a house of correction, medical professionals were idolised as if they were all doctor kildare and accident and emergency departments were deserted oases of calm. But even if you aren't interested in a history lesson, talbot rothwell's script contains some immortal dialogue, particularly when matron loosens her stays. You may not realise it but i was once a weak man, says kenneth williams' terrified doctor tinkle to hattie jacques. Once a week's enough for any man, she purrs back. Other highlights include joan sims, excellent as frankie howerd's deaf, bespectacled sidekick, charles hawtrey suffering from a phantom pregnancy, 1960s singer anita harris in a rare film role, and barbara windsor at her most irrepressible as nurse sandra may. Piers fordsynopsisin carry on doctor, a certain hospital bordering on a mental institution is headed up by the slightly crazy medical team of dr. Kilmore and dr. Tinkle.
