For 50 years the great British tradition that is the Carry on Film has entertained audiences with its cheeky, smutty and, above all, typically British sense of humour.

Since the low-budget Carry on Sergeant burst on to the scene half a century ago Carry On’s mixture of farce, double entendres and parody has helped to seal their enduring popularity.

The 31 films in the series, spanning 34 years, featured a cast of fine comedy actors, including Kenneth Williams, Barbara Windsor, Sid James and Hattie Jacques.

In this collection of on-set photography Rex Features offers you a cheeky peek behind the scenes of a selection of these classic films.
