THE “Carry On” films are making a big screen comeback.

    The long-running comedy series, which began with “Carry On Sergeant” in 1958, will return with two new films after a 24-year absence.

    The first film to go into production will be “Carry On Doctors,” followed by “Carry On Campus.”

    The original franchise made stars of Sid James, Kenneth Williams, and Dame Barbara Windsor.

    Producer Jonathan Sothcott, CEO of Hereford Films that is behind the project, said the new entries in the franchise wouldn’t be “a remake or an attempt to reinvent the wheel.”

    He added, “We won’t be trying to find new Sids or Kenneths — we’re looking to create a whole new ensemble of brilliant British comedic actors. No stunt casting. No big American stars.

    “This will be British film at its best, as the truly remarkable heritage deserves.”

    He later tweeted that he’d been “totally overwhelmed” by all the messages about the new films.(SD-Agencies)
