Description

Collection of all four made-for-TV 'Carry On' Christmas specials. 'Carry On Christmas' (1969) is a reworking of Charles Dickens' classic 'A Christmas Carol' which features Ebenezer Scrooge (Sid James), Dr. Frank N Stein (Terry Scott), Count Dracula (Peter Butterworth) and Cinderella (Barbara Windsor).

'Carry On Again Christmas' (1970) reimagines Robert Louis Stevenson's 'Treasure Island' and follows the exploits of Long John Sil (James) and Jim Hawkins (Windsor). 'Carry On Stuffing' (1972) centres around an 18th-century banquet and includes a bawdy recreation of 'Aladdin'. Finally, in 'Carry On Christmas' (1973), a department store Father Christmas (James) feuds with his store manager whilst exploring Christmas celebrations through the ages.

The cast also includes Hattie Jacques, Charles Hawtrey and Bernard Bresslaw.
