The carry on films were a series of British comedies which were very popular during the 60s, 70s and 80s. Each film usually had a different setting, which were alluded to in the titles of the films. However the general format of each movie remained the same throughout the series, with similar jokes and innuendoes giving the films a unique "carry on" style. Also contributing to that style were the core of regular actors who usually played the main characters. Each actor would play a very similar role in each film.
