Part of the joy in a Carry On movie is that the cast and the crew were regularly the same. This created a feeling of familiarity when watching them. So I’m curious to know which member of the main Carry On crew is your favourite? There’s so many to choose from so this should be interesting.
Hard to choose between Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Williams, but I will go with Hawtrey as his camp antics always made me smile. I have a real soft spot for Esma Cannon too. She played an old lady, and was great in Carry On Cruising, also in Carry On Cabby, and some others.

Both Williams and Hawtrey add immeasurably to the movies. Esma Cannon was a real delight. She puts a smile on my face when she appears.

What about the ladies, Pete? So far, Joan Sims is my favourite.

Although I’m not a major fan of these films I do love Kenneth Williams.

He was a real character. He personifies a lot of what we love about these movies.

Kenneth Williams. I just love any role he plays in these films. I was watching a documentary about him a couple of years ago and he appeared on a talk show and he had such a fascinating life as an actor- I ended up buying the Kenneth Williams Diaries. It’s a big book, but I’m determined to finish it this year.
The whole cast are wonderful too!

Yes, Kenneth Williams is a real character and interesting person. I’ll have to read his diaries as I imagine they are quite intriguing and eye-opening. From what I’ve seen so far, Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Sid James, Kenneth Connor, Joan Sims and Hattie Jacques are my favourites.
