Horh-hi-horh-hi-horh! That's right, that unnerving noise means that this week we're heading across the channel for CARRY ON PARIS (1963) - the team's only true full-length musical, thank Christ. Along the way we encounter a future French icon but narrowly miss out on a French comedy genius, the gang almost get signed by Brian Epstein, John Profumo takes exception to Barbara Windsor's costume and - it's that man again! - JFK returns to cause trouble, only to be distracted by the charms of the young Dilys Laye... Yes it's all very sexist. I mean it's the 60s and it's a Carry On film, what d'you expect. Grow up.
WARNING: CONTAINS SOME OF THE ACTUAL SOUNDTRACK

Carry On Stre@ming 7 - Pilot (1962)
This episode we carry on our Carry On odyssey with CARRY ON PILOT (1962); for many people the first "Proper" Carry On film, whatever that means, which is nothing.
But it does contain some of the series' most memorable moments, whether it be Churchill smoking a missile, Joan Hickson sailing over the White Clliffs of Dover in a wooden handbag, Jerry Desmonde giving the finger (as immortalised by Suede on TOTP in 1993) or the ever-popular Bouncing Bum.
But it was dogged by controversy on first release and we finally get to the bottom of whether the leaked audio of a meeting in the Oval Office during the Cuban Missile Crisis really does contain JFK badmouthing Charles Hawtrey! (Spoiler: yes, it really does)

Carry On Stre@ming 6 - Black Gold (1962)
No one's favorite Carry On, Black Gold is not so much a misstep as a pratfall in the team's oeuvre; the new technicolour process seemingly diverting all funds from the production, the costumes, the music and the script (but not Sid's bar bill). It's not even that funny. And the techicolour's rubbish too. Thank God for the potentially Oscar-bating performance of one Donald J. Sinden...

Carry On Stre@ming 5 - Climbing (1961)
Yes, the Carry On crew are taking us up the Himanakkas! (A sodomy joke.) One of the more joyous of the early Carry Ons belies its troubled production involving death threats, unexpected heatwaves, scriptwriting contributions from another film's cast and a misprint which led indirectly to the unique career of a novelty singer...

Carry On Stre@ming 4 - Carry On Warden/Warder (1960)
Bedevilled by creative indecision, this 4th entry in the Carry On canon can't even decide on what the official title is. For some this is the most "adult" the Carry Ons ever got, for others the least coherent. And IS that really the King...?

Carry On Stre@ming 2 - Carry On Milkman (1959)
The Carry On formula begins to crystallise in this knockabout but surprisingly violent addition to the canon. We reveal the untold stories behind the film from its beginnings in the world of trade union speechwriting to its unfortunate legacy impacting the public health of the UK... along the way we uncover tales of cast fights, cutting edge special effects and the film's possible influence on the oeuvre of Stanley Kubrick

Carry On Stre@ming 1 - Carry On Corporal (1958)
Where it all began. We uncover all the shocking stories behind the film that spawned a series, from Terry Scott's racially insensitive turn as a West Indian chef, via the surprising inputs of such luminaries as Danny Kaye, Kingsley Amis and Shostakovich, to the uncredited appearance of a Foetus Behaving Badly...
