"The only thing I can say about my experience in Carry On Abroad is, apart from a stint in Huddersfield Rep, it was without doubt the lowest paid engagement of my career, but at the same time, the happiest. It was literally three weeks of laughter and commencement of a dear friendship with the wonderful Joan Sims and Hattie Jacques."
