Horh-hi-horh-hi-horh! That's right, that unnerving noise means that this week we're heading across the channel for CARRY ON PARIS (1963) - the team's only true full-length musical, thank Christ. Along the way we encounter a future French icon but narrowly miss out on a French comedy genius, the gang almost get signed by Brian Epstein, John Profumo takes exception to Barbara Windsor's costume and - it's that man again! - JFK returns to cause trouble, only to be distracted by the charms of the young Dilys Laye... Yes it's all very sexist. I mean it's the 60s and it's a Carry On film, what d'you expect. Grow up.

WARNING: CONTAINS SOME OF THE ACTUAL SOUNDTRACK

This episode we carry on our Carry On odyssey with CARRY ON PILOT (1962); for many people the first "Proper" Carry On film, whatever that means, which is nothing.

But it does contain some of the series' most memorable moments, whether it be Churchill smoking a missile, Joan Hickson sailing over the White Clliffs of Dover in a wooden handbag, Jerry Desmonde giving the finger (as immortalised by Suede on TOTP in 1993) or the ever-popular Bouncing Bum.

But it was dogged by controversy on first release and we finally get to the bottom of whether the leaked audio of a meeting in the Oval Office during the Cuban Missile Crisis really does contain JFK badmouthing Charles Hawtrey! (Spoiler: yes, it really does)
