I've just started watching it. Imagine my surprise on seeing a young Sam Kelly (more famous for 'Allo, 'Allo) and Donald Hewlett (Lord Meldrum from You Rang, M'Lord)!
Guess what? When I was home over Christmas, we watched some You Rang M'Lord? together! None of us had seen it since it was first on & we all enjoyed it. (My Dad had been given the DVDs a while ago.) Only a few eps, though...
(And, aw, Sam Kelly, yes. I knew that. I don't think he's in it after the beginning, though, sadly. But I quite like Carry On Behind - it's got some good stuff despite the title and being one the late ones.)
We were all really enjoying revisiting it! It seems to have got slammed a bit in the years since, but I don't really see why - not if you don't mind the other similar comedies.
Yes, def. too much of those two! But I seem to remember quite a nice subplot with Peter Butterworth and Joan Sims, then Elke Sommer, as you say, and, silly though it is, the tomato ketchup incident (I think we had this one recorded off the telly for a while and rewatched it, because I'm pretty sure that's also the bit where they have the gag about tomato sauce vs ketchup: "What's the difference?" / "About Xp!")
Peter Butterworth and Joan Sims - yes! They'd been married and had separated 10 years before. He'd been saving, then won the Pools (remember them? It's all the lottery now!), and he said she could have every penny, then begged her to take him back. ♥
