Amazon.co.uk Review

The title of 1969's Carry On Again Doctor says it all; almost the same cast playing similar characters to their previous year's outing in Carry On Doctor. This one rejoices in the alternative title "Bowels are Ringing". But the enduring popularity of these films owes almost everything to their basic formula and if it occasionally seems a bit cobbled together, all the old favourites are still here.

This time, the setting moves from the National Health Service to the private sector and even stretches as far as the "Beatific Islands" when Jim Dale is exiled to a missionary clinic for his overzealous attention to the female patients--who include Barbara Windsor of course. There, orderly Sid James rules the roost of the clinic with his harem of local women. Trivia addicts can spot Mrs Michael Caine in a brief role as a token dusky maiden. The second half of the Talbot Rothwell script picks up nicely as the characters converge on the private hospital back in England where Dale rakes in the money with a bogus weight loss treatment. Hattie Jacques is in fine form as Matron, Kenneth Williams fascinates with his usual mass of mannerisms and Joan Sims is stately as the Lady Bountiful figure financing most of the shenanigans. It's a tribute to their professionalism that we can still lose ourselves in some of the creakiest old jokes around. --Piers Ford

4.0 out of 5 stars The Best Of The Medical Carry On's, 18 Nov 2002
By Ian Phillips (Bolton, Lancashire, UK) - See all my reviews
(TOP 1000 REVIEWER)    (REAL NAME)   
This review is from: Carry On Again Doctor [DVD] [1969] (DVD)
Carry On Again Doctor is easily the funniest of the medical Carry On's. There is some structure to the plot and the film being divided into three sections works well as there really feels as though there is a beginning, middle and end of a story. Most of the same actors that were used in Doctor (1967) crop up in this entry with some playing almost identical characters. Jim Dale plays a doctor who is sent out to the Beatific Islands on a medical mission and discovers a special weight-reducing potion. Once back in England he opens a new clinic for women who wish to lose weight.
The cast also includes Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Charles Hawtrey, Sid James (who is not introduced until at least half way through the film), Hattie Jaques, yet again reprising her familiar role of the Matron (though plays this more gently in this one) and the bubbly Babara Windsor who quickly catches Jim Dales roving eye.
Carry On Again Doctor on the whole plays very well. Whilst seemingly settling down as a hospital based comedy, the film wildly steers direction and heads off to the Beatific Islands where the sleazy goings on are used to great comic effect from the impeccably timed Sid James who has a great role in this one though is a in a smaller role than usual in a Carry On film. Then the film settles down and sees its last half hour almost encapsulate the feel of a regular T.V sitcom with the weight reducing clinic scenes where the likes of Joan Sims and Charles Hawtrey (hilariously in drag) are staying for full treatment. The ending is a little shoddy as it quickly cuts to the wedding of Jim Dale and Babara Windsor to give the film a happy ending but its so overly rushed it loses its effect quite easily. Still on the whole this ranks as one of my own very favourite Carry On's. The dialogue sparkles along with fast, witty repartee, and there are some impeccably timed performances from virtually all of the regular cast - Jim Dale, Joan Sims, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Sid James, Babara Windsor, Hattie Jaques and Patsy Rolands. and generally as it captures the true spirit of the Carry On's that somehow was lacking in some of the later entries. This belongs in the classic era of the series where they enjoyed enormous success with such entries as Camping (1969), Up The Kyber (1968), Doctor (1967) and Screaming (1966). Certainly many laughs to endure and is a must-see for fans. Generally a recommended comedy all round. A classic!

5.0 out of 5 stars The Funniest Carry On!, 4 Nov 2000
By lyndsey@steve-d.demon.co.uk (New Brighton, Wirral, England.) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Carry On Again Doctor [DVD] [1969] (DVD)
This is one of my favorite Carry On films. The two main doctors are played by Kenneth Williams and Sid James. The Carry on team are at there very best - again! This is also one of the Carry on movies staring the fantastically funny Jim Dale, getting himself into endless bother over GoldieLocks (played by Barbara Windsor). It is the funniest Carry On that I have seen and I have seen all of them! It is well worth watching if you already haven't of course!

4.0 out of 5 stars THE BEST OF THE MEDICAL CARRY ON'S, 17 Jun 2001
By A Customer
This review is from: Carry on Again Doctor [VHS] [1969] (VHS Tape)
Although many would beg to differ but I actually find Carry On Again Doctor (1969) to be even better than it's predecessor, Doctor (1967) and perharps is the best of the medical Carry On films. Although it's plot is typically thin it still holds very well. The plot is of a doctor who is sent to the Beatific Islands on a medical mission in which he discovers a slimming potion. The film starts off as looking like it was to be restricted to hospital and it's patients again, but surprisingly there are many turns to the plot. Jim Dale is fantastic as Dr.Nookey, who is typically accident-prone. He also impressivley performs the stunts for the film and does a spectacular job in doing so. Sid James is not introduced to the film until at least half way through, but his essential contribution is effective regardless. Bubbling in the background are all the familiar favourites such as Joan Sims, who is as loveable as ever, the irreplacable, Hattie Jaques as yet again in the role of the matron (although she takes a calmer, subtle approach to this role and is still effective in doing so), the bubbly Barbara Windsor who sparkles in every scene she is in, Charles Hawtrey who is hilarious in drag and finally Patsy Rolands in a small but essential contribution. All the corny jokes are delivered deliciously by these irreplacable actors and are all on top form, although generally the film is a little less manic than ususal but its pleasurable in doing so. The film develops at a leisurley pace and remains consistently amusing. One of my personal favourites to the series, which in my own opinion ranks up with the greats such as Up The Kyber (1968), Cleo (1965), Camping (1969) and Screaming (1966). Highly recommended.
