Carry On Again Ealing

September 21st 2014
Drayton Court Hotel, Ealing

Special guests: Helli Louise, Jacki Piper, Larry Dann, Alexandra Dane and Marianne Maskell.
Event organised by Paul Stephen and Dean Barker

Alexandra Dane appeared five Carry On films. She shared her secrets from her time on the films, including her on-set accident that occurred during the filming of Carry On Again Doctor.

​Marianne Maskell and Helli-Louise joined us for their Carry On event debuts.

​Helli-Louise had the memorable scene in the shower in Carry On Behind, where Peter Butterworth stumbles into her cubicle, revealing slightly more than was promised by the title of the film. Interestingly, both Helli-Louise and Alexandra Dane must have been so busy during the 1970s, that they'd both forgotten that they appeared, sat next to one another, in Confessions-like film "The Ups and Downs of a Handyman" (1976)

Sadly, this was to be Helli’s only Carry On event appearance as she passed away in 2019. 

Marianne Maskell as the Midwife in Carry On Emmannuelle

​As the midwife in Carry On Emmannuelle, Marianne has the notable accolade of speaking the very last line in the original run of Carry On films. Even she was surprised to learn this.

Amazingly, the line about the babies looking just like their father (with the camera then revealing numerous potential contenders for that title), brought the classic Carry On series full-circle. The very first line spoken in Carry On Sergeant, 20 years and 29 films earlier, was also a joke about babies.

Carry On favourites Jacki Piper and Larry Dann completed the panel. 
This was the second visit for both of them, and definitely not their last.
