"The greatest Carry On Film of them all" as it was described in the independent.; brilliant fun and my favourite of the series, many of which were pretty ropey.

My favourite scenes : in the Khyber pass where thr tribesmen have sabotaged the machine gun replacing the drum magazine with a gramophone record. The's the scene where someone's head has been substituted for the meal under the silver cover to frighten the British - "we didn't order that, send it back!" And of course the calm banquet during the battle .
But my favourite scene is near the beginning where the aide-du-campe is warning Sir Sydney Rough-Diamond (Sid James naturally), there there was a spot of bother that could lead to rebellion "You're exaggerating man", "It could undermine the whole British hold on India" "Don't be ridiculous, keep a sense of proportion". "It could jeopardise your position in a really cushy number" "This is serious, we must get onto it right away"

Sorry for digression but I love that film. It may be of its time and not wholly PC nowdays, but given the British characters are the biggest buffoons of the lot I think it's forgivable

The battle plan for our recent victory in Afghanistan was inspired by this documentary.
 
Must be a lot of fun trawling through the back pages of this section to catch someone out who made the terrible mistake of repeating a joke.

You could try posting one instead: I'm sure you'll know it'll be an 'original'!

I cannot understand it. If 90% have seen it before so what. Let the other 10% enjoy it.
TBH I have seen it before but it still made me chuckle.

Was that perhaps directed at me rather than Chris S?
