been played by the trinity of Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, and Leslie Phillips that had been established in Carry On Constable. Attempts to revive Carry On Spaceman in 1962 under Denis Gifford, again by Hudis, failed, and the project was subsequently abandoned. An intended sub-sequel to the successful Carry On Nurse was renamed and made in 1967 as Carry On Doctor. Carry On Nurse was alluded to twice in Carry On Doctor, firstly with the sub-titles (one reading Nurse Carries On Again and Death of a Daffodil), and again in a later scene with Frankie Howerd commenting on a vase of daffodils in his hospital room. Talbot Rothwell scripted a spoof of World War II escape films with Carry on Escaping in 1973. The complete script is included in the book The Complete A–Z of Everything Carry On. A second attempt at Carry On Again Nurse came in 1979, after the series left Rank Films and moved to Hemdale. A completed script had been written by George Layton and Jonathan Lynn in 1977. It was cancelled due to the financial loss of Carry On Emmannuelle. A planned spoof of the popular American soap opera Dallas was pursued in 1980 as Carry On Dallas. A script was written and casting offers made to Williams, Connor, Douglas, Sims, Hawtrey and Dale. The production was abandoned when Lorimar Productions demanded a royalty fee of 20 times the total production budget. The film idea was revived in 1987, with a launch party consisting of Barbara Windsor, Terry Scott, Anita Harris, Bernard Bresslaw and Jack Douglas. Press interest followed, with the proposed cast interviewed - with a film insert of the launch with Gerald Thomas, on ITV's breakfast programme, but no film materialised. While on holiday in Australia, Gerald Thomas scouted locations and spoke to the Australian Film Commission about a potential Carry On Down Under. The production was abandoned when finance fell through. A complete script was written by Vince Powell and is included in the book Fifty Years of Carry On. The final attempt to create Carry On Again Nurse came in 1988, with a script written by Norman Hudis. It was to revolve around a hospital set for closure, and set to star original actors Barbara Windsor, Jack Douglas, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Connor and Joan Sims, with Sims filling in the role of matron that was previously held by Hattie
