Carol Hawkins

Hawkins is perhaps best known (and forever fondly remembered by many British males of a certain age) as a defining - if possibly reluctant - example of 1970s so-called "English crumpet", both for the role of Sharon Eversleigh and for her performances in two prime-period examples of the legendary Carry On film series: Carry On Abroad (1972), alongside Sally Geeson, and Carry On Behind (1975), alongside Sherrie Hewson.

Carry On Again Doctor is the eighteenth in the series of Carry On films to be made.

Carry On Behind

These supporting players were mostly recognisable comedy actors at the time but not long term regular members of the Carry On team.

Hornsea

Adrian Rawlins, the actor best known for playing Arthur Kidd in The Woman in Black (1989) and James Potter in the Harry Potter films currently lives in Hornsea.

Killer's Moon

Birkinshaw's film has been cited as combinings elements of Kubrick's A Clockwork Orange, the notorious American sleaze epic Carnal Madness (which was released in Britain as The Sizzlers), and a low-rent, late-period Carry On film.

Leon Greene
