Carry On into the 21st Century!

There are some fantastic ideas & concepts and some great artwork that has been created in association with 'Carry On' & the stars of this film series by other artists over the past few years.
Here are a few of my personal favourites...

Charles Waples is a wonderful illustrator, artist and friend.

Charles specialises in listening to conversations, speeches or workshop outcomes and producing them immediately in illustrative form. This is referred to variously as scribing, graphic recording or graphic facilitation. He has worked in this field for more than 15 years.

In 2020 he produced the storyboard artwork for the Channel 5 documentary 'Kenneth Williams: In His Own Words'. The show featured Jon Culshaw, Kenneth Williams with narration by Gyles Brandreth. The artwork is reproduced above by kind permission of Charles. Through his website (www.scribeslikeus.co.uk) Charles offers a range of services, including scribing, artwork and storyboards, illustration and caricatures.

In 1999 Ken Burns approached Peter Rogers with an animation concept entitled 'The Carryoons'.

Ken had just completed editing the ITV documentary 'What's A Carry On?' celebrating 40 years of the Carry On films. A series of 26 half hour cartoons were proposed.

Peter loved the idea & contracts of association were quickly signed. The Carryoons 'Pilot' went into production at Pinewood in early 2001.

Having trawled the animation industry for the best in the business, they engaged the services of top character designer Stephen Mansfield to create the unique look of The Carryoons. All characters were drawn as they looked during the films peak, 1968.

They also encouraged a sixties look to the animation style to reflect the colourful era. During their research, they discovered increasing numbers of young people were becoming Carry On fans.

Naturally, a cartoon series would compliment the films but it was not essential that the viewers be familiar with the cartoons' origin. A documentary team has chronicled the development of The Carryoons over the past two years.

Having closely followed the concept and development of The Carryoons it is fantastic to see that they are still 'work in progress' and will soon be available for a new generation to enjoy the new 'Carryoons'!
