DanTheMan 2 Where there's a pill, there's a way. Carry On Again Doctor returns to the well-tilled field of bedpans, undressed patients, and discussions about symptoms, from wind to bowels being regular dialogue fodder. The third of the medical-themed adventures tackled by the team, this time the focus is on the hospital staff rather than the patients who are mostly just cameos; it features a rare, slightly nasty and cynical streak for the series, essentially a film about people being selfish, lying, manipulating and cheating to get ahead in the profession. I was at first concerned this was where the series stopped being fun but the fast-moving plot and changing locations keep the show moving and, like so many others in the series has great performances, a wonderful script, and some genuinely funny lines. Offset by Jim Dale's accident-prone pratfalls, Carry On Again Doctor is an assured and confident piece of filmmaking even if the focus has waned, it doesn't hang about and provides a lot of visual dynamism to any otherwise crazy film. Rated 3/5 Stars •  Rated 3 out of 5 stars 04/01/25 Full Review bill t I actually enjoyed this one! Lots of silliness abound. Not much of a plot, so just sit back and let this one amuse you. Rated 3.5/5 Stars •  Rated 3.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member Quite weak and silly. Despite the title and containing at least four actors and actresses from it, not a sequel to Carry on Doctor. A young doctor, Dr Nookey (played by Jim Dale) suffers a professional disgrace and is sent to a remote island. There he discovers a tonic that causes rapid weight-loss, ideal for obese people. He goes back to England and makes a fortune off the treatment... One of the more silly Carry On movies, and certainly not as good as Carry on Doctor. Carry on Doctor had its fair share of slapstick, but also had some fairly clever jokes and was generally good fun. Carry on Again Doctor is much more low-brow. Too many nudge-nudge-wink-wink sort of jokes and silly, random scenes. Overall: not that funny and not worth watching.

Rated 2.5/5 Stars •  Rated 2.5 out of 5 stars 03/30/23 Full Review Audience Member This is the first time the series got saucy and it is still very funny. All the usual stars are at their best to make this a real gem.
