Carry On Christmas (1973) is almost a sketch show, Sid James is a store Santa, who recalls stories of how people once came together at Christmas, set against the unfriendly 1970s. The sketches are funny and generic carry on fare, with all the usual gang.
Barbara Windsor is a 13-year-old in school dress on Santa Sids knee. Her provocative attitude shocks mother, Joan Sims, who doesn't know how she came by such ways. We had a French student staying with us. She must have got it from him she says. There are stories from the Prehistoric, WWII, Georgian, and an odd dance routine where everyone dresses up as ballerinas!
Overall if you are a carry-on fan, you'll love Carry On Christmas 1973, but I would have preferred to have seen one long story :)
You can watch it all here.
