Carry on Again Doctor Storyline

A disgraced Doctor James Nookey (Jim Dale) is sent to a remote clinic on an inhospitable tropical island where he learns of a native slimming potion. Nookey used to work at a reputed NHS hospital with Head Surgeon Doctor Frederick Carver (Kenneth Williams) as head surgeon and Doctor Ernest Stoppidge (Charles Hawtrey) as his colleague. Matron of the nurses (Hattie Jacques) is disapproving of Nookey’s antics. Miss Fosdick (Patsy Rowlands) is Carver’s secretary. Nookey is clumsy and awkward and frequently runs the female patients the wrong way inside the hospital premises. Ellen Moore (Joan Sims) is a rich patient who was operated upon by Carver for appendix removal. Carver wants Moore to make a donation to his medical foundation, but she refuses unless Carver helps her find a resident doctor for one of her tropical island clinics.A hot young model Goldie Locks (Barbara Windsor) is admitted to the hospital. She was wearing her modeling clothes (which were barely covering her private parts) when admitted. Nookey examines her but cannot resist the sexual innuendos. While taking her x ray, Nookey short circuits the equipment (he was trying to impress Goldie by showing off the capabilities of the equipment, which he did not know how to operate) & nearly brings the hospital down. The hospital electrical equipment was knocked out as a result and it took 24 hours to restore them back to normal.At a staff party, Stoppidge mixes surgical alcohol in Nookey’s drinks. The drunk Nookey ends up crashing through a window on a hospital trolley, after he had almost got into bed with a patient (He suggests that Goldie can stay in a private room at the hospital, but Stoppidge had already assigned it to a female patient who already had a run in with Nookey. While, Nookey goes to get her Pajamas, Goldie leaves the hospital as she was not comfortable staying the night, and Nookey ends up in the room with the patient, in her bed). Goldie leaves Nookey, as the latter is not interested in marriage. Carver sends Nookey to the Beatific Islands, where it rains for nine months of the year, as a punishment. Gladstone Screwer (Sid James) is the medical mission orderly at the tropical island where Nookey ends upGladstone is a slimy operator. He has used all the funds sent by Moore to buy booze and lives a lavish life with 5 wives and a bunch of kids. Gladstone wants to be left alone & is angry that Moore has sent yet another doctor to the mission. He plans to get rid of Nookey by making him depressed & addicted to booze. He then writes to Moore and Carver that Nookey is nothing but a drunken bum & not of any help to the local community. Moore threatens Carver to pull her funding if he doesn’t fix it. Carver decides to visit the island himself, but his ship has an accident in a hurricane, and he is marooned on a different tropical island for 3 months.Meanwhile, all by accident, Nookey finds that the local witch doctor (actually it was Gladstone who brewed it) brews a concoction of herbs that acts as a slimming agent and makes people lose weight very quickly. Nookey sees the potential to make money, secures a large supply and returns to London to become filthy rich and hires a sexy secretary.Carver comes back to England after 3 months to find that Matron is working for Nookey, Stoppidge has been promoted to Carver’s job & Nookey is rich & in partnership with Moore. Nookey finds success running a lavish slimming clinic. However, his former professional rivals who had been instrumental in sending him away in the first place now want a slice of the profits, as does the real discoverer of the slimming potion. Goldie comes back to Nookie again.Gladstone quickly discovers that Nookey is making a fortune from his serum, and cuts off his supply to deliver the serum in person and get in on the action. Gladstone arrives demanding 50% share of the profits in exchange for the next supply of potion. When Nookey refuses, he gives Nookey a serum bottle that seems different to Nookey.Carver wants to get into a partnership & when Nookey refuses, he sends in Stoppidge, disguised as a fat woman, to steal the formula. Nookey recognizes Stoppidge. Nookey unleashes the lusty Gladstone on Stoppidge, plus Stoppidge has to undress in the middle of all the women in the clinic and has to share a room with Moore. All of this pinches his sensibilities.In reality Gladstone had given a serum that induces a sex change in women. Nookey finally gives in & makes Gladstone & Carver partners. The movie ends with Nookey and Goldie getting married at the Moore-Nookey-Gladstone-Carver facility, and the rest of the staff of the Long Hampton Hospital becoming friends again.

Carry on Again Doctor Movie Reviews

A densely-plotted sequel

Fans of the original CARRY ON DOCTOR might well be forgiven for assuming that this rushed-out sequel offers more of exactly the same, and indeed for the first half of the production that’s exactly the case. Once more, the setting of the film is a hospital, with Hattie Jacques as Matron and Kenneth Williams as a pompous doctor. It’s all very warm and familiar, with most of the Carry On team present and correct. Once again, Jim Dale is the focus of the slapstick comedy, and there’s also a meatier role for Charles Hawtrey who gets probably the most screen time of his Carry On career.

So far, so predictable and yet so amusing – fans will be in their element with another assured, confident piece of film-making, packed with seaside postcard-style humour. And then at the halfway point things change; there are exotic locales and a surprisingly densely-plotted narrative involving a magical weight loss elixir. This all builds to an unpredictable climax with multiple factions attempting to get one over on each other; it’s the most complex script-writing of the series since the early 1960s, and proved to be a great and welcome surprise for this fan.

Moore-Nookie.

The 18th of the Carry On series and the third of the medical themed adventures, plot finds Jim Dale as Doctor Nookie, who is stitched up by his superiors and sent to a tropical Beautific island to tender medical treatment to the natives. What he actually finds when he gets there is a rainy windswept isle that has no need for his services at all. The compound is run by Gladstone Screwer (Sid James), a crafty old sort who deals in whisky and cigarettes and has a wife for every day of the week. Screwer also has something else of interest that perks up the flagging interest of Nookie, a potion that considerably aids weight loss. Nookie senses an opportunity to make a financial killing back in Blighty whilst simultaneously getting one over the superiors who had him sent to his island misery.

This was the last of 10 Carry On films for Jim Dale before he returned for the ill conceived “modern” reinvention that was Carry On Columbus in 1992. I don’t know if the makers knew that Dale would be leaving the series and thus made him the lead character in this jovial farce? But it proves to be a smart move. One of the unsung heroes of the series, Dale’s energy and comic reactions to plot situations were always a joy to watch, and here, with James in customary wise cracking support, he lifts the film above the ordinary with a show of endearing buffoonery. He also did his own stunts and broke his arm on this production. Director Gerald Thomas keeps things brisk, with the double location axis of the plot stopping things from stagnating visually, Charles Hawtrey goes undercover in drag to provide the last third of the film with some quality laughs and the likes of Barbara Windsor and Valerie Leron raise the pulses considerably.

Thin of plot but big on charm and laughs, one of the better Carry On movies. 7.5/10

One of the funnier Carry On outings

I love a vast majority of the Carry On films such as Screaming, Cleo and Up the Khyber, and this entry is no exception. Sidney James is underused but still has fun as Gladstone Screwer, admittedly an odd name,and the film does feel a little short but Carry on Again Doctor is still very funny and entertaining. Jim Dale does an above decent job taking centre stage as Doctor Nookey, with excellent comic timing. Kenneth Williams is great as always, and Charles Hawtrey has one of his better outings as Dr Stoppidge, allowing to hiss vehemently and bitterly. The locations of the Bautific Islands are very nice, and the script is filled with one liners that are witty and hilarious. Plus the slapstick finale is genuinely funny, quite possibly one of the funnier finales in the franchise. 8/10 Bethany Cox
