Historically this was one of my least favourites of the series, but on rewatch it was better than I remembered it as being. There's a number of regulars here, we also see the debut of Windsor Davies in a Carry on film and he actually does pretty well playing alongside Jack Douglas whose usual persona is seemingly toned down from what it usually is in the other films. Elke Sommer appears in her only Carry on and is quite funny in her role, shame she didn't appear in more films. Elsewhere everyone else is good but I wasn't keen on the Baxter family, they didn't do much for me.
The story is admittedly very weak, it's essentially a remake of camping but with slight changes. Kenneth Williams (or Professor Crumpet as Sommer keeps calling him) and Professor Vooshka go to an archaeological site to study some artifacts. Although, they don't actually end up doing much of that it seems. It's very funny in parts with great lines but sometimes the jokes just don't work. It's not really a sex comedy but it's a lot more explicit than usual, we even see a naked stripper at the beginning (and a clothed one at the end.)
This is pretty much the last decent Carry on film. They only went downhill from here sadly. Prepare your blindfolds for the next edition...
