** Another actor that was a closeted homosexual was Creator/FrankieHowerd, who was known for exaggerating his camp personality in his stand-up comedies. There was also Julian Orchard, who portrayed camp characters in bit roles, but it was unknown whether he was gay in real life.
* Dr Crow from ''Film/CarryOnSpying'' was portrayed by a woman but dubbed by a male voice actor. No pronouns are used to refer to the character, but it is mentioned that some characters [[AmbiguousGender don't know themselves]].

* First of all, the ''Carry On''s is known for having two (although closeted) gay leading actors: Creator/KennethWilliams and Creator/CharlesHawtrey. Both men portrayed CampStraight characters that would usually end up being either the prize in a LoveTriangle between two ChristmasCake women, or a [[AllMenArePerverts perverted]] [[TheCasanova womanizer]], but the script had them written with a slight knowingness because of the occasional {{camp}}y LargeHam they ''[[OutOfCharacterMoment suddenly]]'' got.

GBT rights in Britain changed the most in the 20th century. With the right to be openly homosexual in 1967, the media was slowly beginning to accept people that didn't fit the hetero-normative society. Naturally, the ''Carry On'' movies exploited this as much as they could without suspicions from MoralGuardians.
