Paul Evans I've always regarded 'Carry on at your Convenience' as one of the best in the series. Aside from being full to the brim with lavatorial humour it's also an interesting insight into what life was like back then as far as Unions and workers rights went. Brilliantly filmed at the Royal Doulton factory, a time when the British Potteries were thriving.As for the humour, it contains laugh after laugh, I think the latter part of the film is funnier, when they go on the works outing, the gang look like their having a marvellous time, and as viewers so do we. Kenneth Williams genuinely does steal the film with his W.C. Boggs, and it's the fortune telling scene with Sid and Joan that is the laugh out loud moment. His facial gestures and comical laughs are awesome, what a loss to comedy he was.Great to have all the cast there, it really did make a difference when the entire gang were available, missing of course was Barbara Windsor, but Jackie Piper is lovely as Myrtle.A box office failure, times were different back then, begs the question do Politics and comedy work? Years later the answer is definitely yes!!! It's one of the funniest, 9/10

IndianaDoctor At Your Convenience is the 22nd of the Carry On Series, at the time of its release, the film was deemed as controversial seeing as the plot circled around problems with the trade unions at the time. Many carry on fans choose to boycott this film.Cause of all that At Your Convenience was the first financial flop at the box office. It's hard to believe that now this is rated one of the best Carry On films in entire series.Why is it one of the best? Well lets start with the plot, is film is set at a local toilet making factory called W.C. Boggs & Son. Which is run by W.C. Boggs played by Kenneth Williams and his son Lewis played by Richard O'Callaghan. The company is going through a bad patch and loosing money fast, due to the amount of strikes that the company has suffering. Which is Mainly caused by the lazy union representative Vic Spanner played by Kenneth Cope, who complains about the littlest thing in the factory and causes a strike.The story also shows how the lives of our lead characters are having due to all the strikes, Sid Plummer played by Sid James who is repeatedly fed up of listening to his wife Beattie talking to her pet budgie all day. Sid is also very keen on the next door neighbour and fellow colleague Chloe played by Joan Sims. Chloe is also got problems at home with her husband, who is often away on business and if he is home he normally rejects any sort of affection she gives him.Sid and Beattie also have a daughter Mrytle played by the always gorgeous Jacki Piper, who works in the factory as one of the canteen staff. Meryle is permanently being pursued by both Vic Spanner and Lewis Boggs. Which at times can be annoying for her, mainly because the both of them are just as bad as each other.While Vic Spanner despite him being in his late 20's-early 30's... is still living with his mam, who is permanently having a go at him for the amount of lack of money he brings into the house and all the strikes he causes. His Mum who is played by Renee Houston, has been forced to take in a lodger who is the jolly Charles Coote played by Charles Hawtrey, who also works at the factory as a toilet designer. Vic's mother seems to treat Charles a lot better than Vic by being more polite and generous.Vic also has a mate and a fellow colleague Bernie played Bernard Bresslaw, Bernie comes across as a bit daft and allows himself to be bossed about by Vic too much.The plot isn't spectacular but its simple and the script is fantastic. The casting is 100% cast and all the regular faces are present, though Terry Scott had a deleted scene playing the part of a union big wig.Everybody involved looked to be enjoying themselves which helps with there performance, they probably all looked forward to the trip to Brighton!I found at times the film does take a couple of serious moments, one being there is a nice scene between Sid and Chloe who during a night shoot. Showing that both of them have got more feelings about each other, sadly the only thing missing about this scene was a nice kiss at the end. Anyhow the scene is well acted by both Sid James and Joan Sims. For this movie Sid is taken away from his usual dirty old man character and many of the cast have said this probably the closest how Sid was like in real life. To be honest its the same for Kenneth Williams who I find less camp in this film, this time round he is playing the straight guy. At Your Convenience is probably the most Carry On I've watched the most. It's a nice gentle Carry On and shows what the Carry On's were all about... family friendly comedy. If you haven't watched At Your Convenience then you must, I can only describe it as a beautiful looking Carry On and comedy. I give Carry On At Your Convenience a 8/10.

crossbow0106 Set in a toilet making factory, hence the title, this is a fun romp. Given the setting, you just know there will be in jokes, double entendres and the like. Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtry, amongst others, are at their madcap best here. The story never flags, even though the cast is pretty large. You even have richness from the peripheral characters here, they add to the fun. One of the film's main assets is the fresh faced beauty Jacki Piper, who plays Myrtle Plummer (I know, the last name is obvious, but that's okay). Of the Carry On films I've watched (about 8), this is my favorite thus far. It holds your interest and you can't help but laugh. It is definitely worth your time, in a time honored British comedy vein.

Caz1964 I find this one of the most unusual carry ons,as it seems to take life a bit more serious,its more kitchen sink drama, which for this carry on is appropriate for the title.For me it has the funniest plot of all,which is the budgie who can pick horse winners,and the excellent teaming of Sid James and Hattie Jacques as the married couple.Vic the union leader and his nagging Irish mum are also very funny.Although the usually very funny Bill Maynard seems a bit wasted in this film,i don't think he gets many funny lines,if any.On the whole this is a very enjoyable carry on,and the only time you see a man get spanked in a film, which was quite original.It was a carry on, which tried to be different from the others and does succeed.Although it does still have the same naughty gags,but then thats what carry on films are for.We don't make films like these anymore so enjoy them while you can.
