Carry on Camping Sid: "I keep telling you, Bernie, as soon as the lights go out, they’re coming in here." Bernie: "Go on. What for?" Sid: "A party." Bernie - "Shouldn't we get some cakes?"

Amazing that Sid James passed away more than 50 years ago but his works still bring laughter and joy to all who have a sense of humour.

In a similar vein, I remember Round The Horne & Beyond our Ken. Sunday lunchtime listening, full of ‘near the knuckle’ jokes & gay banter (Julian & Sandy) even though homosexuality was still illegal, but my whole family fell about! Happy days!

Modern society has no tolerance for slapstick comedy unfortunately.

Doesn’t be “Infamy, Infamy, they’ve all got it in for me”

it's like a told non visual joke. With a long cue in. Syd does his scoffing dirty laugh but i think Kenneth Conor get the laugh by one of his many affectations.

Nah. The best is in Carry On Screaming. "We never go out anywhere!" "What about last week?" "That was my mother's funeral!" "Well I had a good time." (Paraphrased)

No, the best line ever in a Carry On is just before this, when they do the introductions, and Sid says ".....I'm Vic, Vic Flange, this is the wife, don't laugh!...ha ha ha", still cracks me uip
