The Carry On Christmas Specials were four one-off British comedy TV sitcoms made from 1969, bringing the cast and formula of the Carry On films to a television production.

Unseen for many years, these four made-for-TV Christmas Carry On spectaculars feature favourite stories and timely traditions, including Carry On Christmas 1969, Carry On Again Christmas – AKA Carry On Long John 1970, Carry On Christmas – AKA Carry On Stuffing 1972 and Carry On Christmas 1973 and much more, in the only way the Carry On team know how… pure slapstick comedy and scripts full of trademark innuendo.

This is Carry On at its Christmas best!

“This is the best example of Carry On TV ever. It is a pity that when Carry On Laughing was filmed in 1974–75 Kenneth Williams stuck to his no Carry On TV policy…Carry On Christmas works so well becuase the final three of those principles were present. Frankie Howerd was superb in the 1969 special & it is shame that for the camp parts in Carry On Laughing that he could not have guest starred. Hattie Jacques , Bernard Bresslaw , Joan Sims, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor & Jack Douglas acted very well and thus made up for some of the weaker scripting in the 1970's ones when Talbot Rothwell was not up to doing the writing. Terry Scott is clearly in his element in TV farce as is Hattie Jacques . In the 1970's they could have ditched the cinema and just done Carry On TV shows had they been of the calibre of these festive specials . The ratings proved that people would watch Carry On on TV if the quality was good enough & if anyone can top Peter Butterworths drag acting then I will be suprised . An excellent way to get laughs over the festive period!” Mr. Mg Reynolds
