[QUOTE="James from London, post: 432043, member: 22"] I remember listening to some Radio 4-type show about the [I]Carry On[/I]s that described the lives of most of the characters in [I]Carry On Camping[/I] (i.e. perpetually sexually frustrated) as more representative of the actual time-period (late 60s) than the cooler, artier movies of the same era would have us believe, while the group of hippies Barbara Windsor goes off with at the end symbolise the free-love fantasy of the way things were "supposed" to be. Then there's the adage that, outside of Carnaby Street and the like, the swinging sixties didn't happen for most people until some time in the '70s. I wonder if that's where the [I]Confessions of a[/I] ... and [I]Adventures of a[/I] ... films came in, or whether the likes of Robin Askwith and Barry Evans were simply living out the X-rated fantasies of Richard Beckinsale and Richard O'Sullivan's small-screen equivalents? Speaking of which, have you seen this two-part C4 documentary?
