Product: Cor Blimey [VHS]
Rating: 4.0
An entertaining if inaccurate look behind the Carry On films
Cor Blimey premiered on the ITV network on Monday 24 April, 2000. We were treated to something fantastic - Cor Blimey was, in a word, stunning. I was familiar with the story, in general, having seen the original play and read the script. I was also familiar with the uncanny portrayals of Sid, Babs and Kenny, courtesy of Geoffrey Hutchings, Adam Godley and Samantha Spiro. Despite all that, from the opening theme, typical Carry On stuff courtesy of Barrington Pheloung, to the closing shots of Babs and Kenny (more on that later) Cor Blimey is a charming, funny and warm look at the lives of the people who continue to make us laugh 30 years later.
