At Your Convenience is the 22nd of the Carry On Series, at the time of its release, the film was deemed as controversial seeing as the plot circled around problems with the trade unions at the time. Many carry on fans choose to boycott this film.Cause of all that At Your Convenience was the first financial flop at the box office. It's hard to believe that now this is rated one of the best Carry On films in entire series.Why is it one of the best? Well lets start with the plot, is film is set at a local toilet making factory called W.C. Boggs & Son. Which is run by W.C. Boggs played by Kenneth Williams and his son Lewis played by Richard O'Callaghan. The company is going through a bad patch and loosing money fast, due to the amount of strikes that the company has suffering. Which is Mainly caused by the lazy union representative Vic Spanner played by Kenneth Cope, who complains about the littlest thing in the factory and causes a strike.The story also shows how the lives of our lead characters are having due to all the strikes, Sid Plummer played by Sid James who is repeatedly fed up of listening to his wife Beattie talking to her pet budgie all day. Sid is also very keen on the next door neighbour and fellow colleague Chloe played by Joan Sims. Chloe is also got problems at home with her husband, who is often away on business and if he is home he normally rejects any sort of affection she gives him.Sid and Beattie also have a daughter Mrytle played by the always gorgeous Jacki Piper, who works in the factory as one of the canteen staff. Meryle is permanently being pursued by both Vic Spanner and Lewis Boggs. Which at times can be annoying for her, mainly because the both of them are just as bad as each other.While Vic Spanner despite him being in his late 20's-early 30's... is still living with his mam, who is permanently having a go at him for the amount of lack of money he brings into the house and all the strikes he causes. His Mum who is played by Renee Houston, has been forced to take in a lodger who is the jolly Charles Coote played by Charles Hawtrey, who also works at the factory as a toilet designer. Vic's mother seems to treat Charles a lot better than Vic by being more polite and generous.Vic also has a mate and a fellow colleague Bernie played Bernard Bresslaw, Bernie comes across as a bit daft and allows himself to be bossed about by Vic too much.The plot isn't spectacular but its simple and the script is fantastic. The casting is 100% cast and all the regular faces are present, though Terry Scott had a deleted scene playing the part of a union big wig.Everybody involved looked to be enjoying themselves which helps with there performance, they probably all looked forward to the trip to Brighton!I found at times the film does take a couple of serious moments, one being there is a nice scene between Sid and Chloe who during a night shoot. Showing that both of them have got more feelings about each other, sadly the only thing missing about this scene was a nice kiss at the end. Anyhow the scene is well acted by both Sid James and Joan Sims. For this movie Sid is taken away from his usual dirty old man character and many of the cast have said this probably the closest how Sid was like in real life. To be honest its the same for Kenneth Williams who I find less camp in this film, this time round he is playing the straight guy. At Your Convenience is probably the most Carry On I've watched the most. It's a nice gentle Carry On and shows what the Carry On's were all about... family friendly comedy. If you haven't watched At Your Convenience then you must, I can only describe it as a beautiful looking Carry On and comedy. I give Carry On At Your Convenience a 8/10.

CARRY ON AT YOUR CONVENIENCE is about industrial disputes at a toilet- making factory. This being a Carry On film you also get sub-plots about a budgie that can pick winning horses and a works outing that includes the shooting up of a rifle range and copious consumption of alcohol. The trademark seaside postcard attitude to sex is on display with trousers (and skirts) being ripped off, much suggestive wordplay, strip poker, bunny girls and some friendly minded sexual harassment by both sexes. The narrative, such as it is, meanders around a factory making toilets (proprietor: W.C. Boggs) which is threatened with closure because of the copious strikes. Most of the plot is taken up with the pursuit of various women by various men (and vice versa) with varying degrees of success. There is even a BRIEF ENCOUNTER-esque ending for Sid James. It's all harmless fluff, gently humorous and, thirty years on, not without historical interest.

Flush with success at a time when British movie comedy was going down the tube,the "Carry On" gang will drive you round the bend with this tale of a strike at a factory making lavatory bowls.There really is no end to the number of toilet gags you can come up with.Add a Works Outing to Brighton and you have the core of "Carry on at your convenience",a worthy addition to the chain (sorry,I promise that's the last one)of brilliant Brit comedies starring many of our most beloved and enduring performers.And this one features the great stage comedienne Miss Renee Houston.....it doesn't get better than this.... Girls with hot pants and kinky boots decorate most scenes,Mr Kenneth Williams is at his very best,Mr Sid James and Miss Joan Sims play a really rather poignant undeclared love scene and Brighton positively glows in glorious 1970s Harrison Marks colour. There are weaknesses amongst the younger members of the cast,but who cares when Sid and Hattie's budgerigar gives them Racing Tips and Mr Hawtrey and Miss Houston - no spring chickens - play Strip Poker in her Boarding House? Hugely underrated,but one of the best of all the "Carry Ons".

This Carry On, which features all the main team plus some newer faces, is situated in WC Boggs' factory (toilet = bog in the UK) and goes downhill from there! Sid Plummer (Sid James) has a wife he ignores (Hattie Jacques) and a fellow workmate he is after (Joan Sims); while his daughter is after the managing director's son. There's an annoying shop steward, Spanner (Kenneth Cope in a second role in the series, after playing Cyril in Carry on Matron), who always wants to all everyone on strike.Funny situations are never far away but the icing on the cake in this one is in two scenes - the first, where Boggs' secretary (Patsy Rowlands as the amusingly named Miss Withering) unleashes her sexual frustrations of many years on a shocked Kenneth Williams; and the second, where the works outing leads to a pub crawl where Williams passes the time getting increasingly drunk and singing bawdy songs.There's much amusement over the manufacture of bidets but despite the gags here and there this Carry On is overall a bit of a washout. The team had done better, but this one fits in the middle ground quite well.
