The first episode looks at the birth of the Carry On brand at Pinewood Studios and reveals how producer Peter Rogers and director Gerald Thomas accidentally stumbled on a hit formula. There are trips back to Pinewood for Shirley Eaton, the glamour girl star of the first film, Carry On Sergeant, and for the equally glamorous Liz Fraser from Carry On Cruising. Actress Rosalind Knight goes back to school to revisit the location for Carry On Teacher, and there is an emotional reunion, 50 years on, for Bernard Cribbins and Juliet Mills, the stars of Carry On Jack.
The second episode chronicles what many consider to be the golden era of the Carry On brand in the late sixties. Jim Dale talks about his role in Carry On Spying, Amanda Barrie reveals what life was like on the set of Carry On Cleo and there is previously unseen footage of Sid James relaxing off-camera. Carry On vamp Fenella Fielding goes back to the location used for the spine-tingling Carry On Screaming, Anita Harris recalls life on set with American TV superstar Phil Silvers in Follow That Camel and Angela Douglas returns to Snowdonia where Carry On Up The Khyber was filmed.
The final episode looks at how the brand hit the seventies on top form, following the bikini-bursting antics of Carry On Camping. Jacki Piper and Valerie Leon remember life on set in Carry On Up The Jungle, while the sons of Peter Butterworth and Kenneth Connor get together for an emotional look through previously unseen photographs of their dads at work. June Whitfield and Sally Geeson recall how Carry On Abroad was filmed much closer to home than the cast had hoped, and Patrick Mower talks about appearing alongside one of Britain's biggest guns in Carry On England.
