Carry On At Your Convenience (1971 Gerald Thomas)

The Year of the Hot Pant, apparently.

Dreadful entry in series concerns lavatory factory and militantly striking union worker, who reckons without his feisty mother (Renee Houston, who had the distinction of being in both Cul-de-Sac and Repulsion). Scant plot also features budgie that can pick horse winners.

Usual outrageous performances from Kenneth Williams, Charlie Hawtrey, Sid James, the oddly endearing Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw (not sure what Babs was doing), Jacki Piper and the pleasant young man Richard O'Callaghan .

You have to admire the exuberance, though, of Eric Rogers' music.
