Carry on Christmas (1969) 4 of 6

The first special, Carry On Christmas, was broadcast in 1969.

It was filmed shortly after the completion of Carry on Up the Jungle and featured the same main cast from that film. It was scripted by long-term Carry On writer Talbot Rothwell.

The story was an irreverent take on Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol.

Ebenezer Scrooge is a misery at Christmas, refusing to share yuletide cheer with his employees and acquaintances.

When Scrooge is visited by three ghosts, we see what effect his miserly ways have had on those around him.
