The last of the four Christmas TV specials from the CARRY ON team. They get a lot of the old faces back here, most notably Sid James who is having a bawdy ball dressed up as Santa Claus. There's a monologue style format and various sketches from historical periods, the most head-scratching a caveman Christmas (???). This special seems more sex-obsessed than ever, with a barely-dressed Barbara Windsor figuring predominately. Indeed one sketch with her playing a 13-year-old on Sid's knee was censored from the TV broadcast I saw as being too outrageous. A great Scouse accent from Kenneth Connor at one point, and assured turns from the old hands.
