Carry On: The Ultimate Collection Box Set (30 Discs)

An excellent boxset of carry on films, packed with lots of extras including the carry on tv series, each disc is very well presented although the packaging could have been a bit better otherwise this is an essential boxset to own

The Carry Ons are of course classics, and you'd need to be a fan to spend this amount of money on them. But at least you are getting virtually everything you could want from the set, bar Columbus and the Christmas specials. However, the packaging really lets this down, and stops the boxset getting 5 out of 5. Basically, there are 3 internal boxsets inside the one big box. And each of these three boxsets includes 10 dvd's, each with a film on, plus maybe some extras. The first problem you come across is the films are in no particular order, so it can take you a minute to find the right box with the film in that you want to see. The next problem is when you open the box. The dvd's are in 2 rows of 5 disks, but the top row is behind and above the bottom row. As the title of the films on the dvds are at the bottom, the titles of the dvds on the top row are therefore concealed by the dvds on the bottom row, so you could spend another minute or so finding the film you are after. A way around this is to turn the top row of dvds upside down so the titles are visible, but the titles will of course be upside down. The next problem with the packaging is, on the back of the main box, it states that all 13 episodes of the Carry On tv series is included. What it fails to tell you is which dvds these episodes are on!!!! So we have 30 disks, of which 13 will have 1 episode of the tv show on as well as the film, and nothing to tell us which disks have them, let alone tell us which particular episode is on each. Absolutely ridiculous.
My review is only giving this 4 out of 5 due to the classic films included, but the set could be so much better.

there is no carry on film called carry on holiday it should be carry on abroud. it is missing carry on columbs and it is also missing that is carry on there is 31 to the collection in instead
30

This is a really good box-set as described, but what is failed to be mentioned is that this does not contain Carry On Columbus. Granted not a great film but neither are all the Carry On films. So to call it the ultimate is slightly innacurate.

excellent people to do business with, and excellent product, great to watch
