Warwick University's Film and Television Studies department is doing an all-day conference on the Carry On films on 30 May.

Carry on Screaming is my favourite of the Carry On films.

It had the best cast, including the incomparable Fenella Fielding.

A woman who was funny AND beautiful and also dignified and soo in control. As a teenager, I'd've loved to be like her.
