One thing I've noticed is that every time I pause a carry on movie while Kenneth Williams is on, his face is always hilarious. That's meant in a good way. (:

And by the way, Jim Dale is also still alive.

Part of the music - when she walks down the corridor - is from Carnival of the Animals: The Elephant, by Saint-Saens.

For those who are interested in what the music is from 0:13 to 0:25, it is Die Serenade : String Quartet No.17 in F Major Op.3-5, 2nd Movement by Franz Joseph Haydn.

I heard the piece on my Yamaha keyboard, and I contacted them to find out all the details :D

@bluepheonex1989 a bunch of trained chimps could do better than this lot. George Orwell`s 1984 has definitely come true under this government. We now have thought crimes and are the most observed nation in the world.

@tigerboytony you know since you've said that, it only just occurred to me how brilliantly composed the sound track for this film is.

I bet you any money you like that this entire scene is a single sequence of music from the same precussion - it really is seamless.

You just dont get that 'hand-crafted' quality in modern films anymore.

@Scooby71Doo

spot on mate.

I really am considering a vote for the Nationals next week you know.

the more I see of this pathetic dillusional society, the more I just think stuff it - they cant do any bloody worse than this lot of clowns!

but anyway, thays another topic for another time I guess.

@bluepheonex1989 another reason is we are far too politically correct nowadays and sadly this type of film would never be allowed to be made.

You meaning the tune that appears in films such as camping, don't lose your head. The 18th century tune. I know which one you mean but 2 am trying to figure which tune it is

Hattie Jaques should have been a real hospital Matron, Nurses wouldn't be stood about talking with her on the prowl

I love this music it's so brilliant! And I think it's so ingenious that the composer made Saint Saens' The Elephant the main theme.

I've started learning Bassoon, which after 2 lessons I can now play grade 2 stuff (being grade 8 clarinet helped), and I really want to play this, as it just makes me laugh! It's so descriptive and characteristic of the Carry On Films, which I love!

Any idea what the Baroque/chamber music part is?
