Review of Carry On Again Doctor (1969) by Grant S — 11 Jan 2016
Quite weak and silly.
Despite the title and containing at least four actors and actresses from it, not a sequel to Carry on Doctor. A young doctor, Dr Nookey (played by Jim Dale) suffers a professional disgrace and is sent to a remote island. There he discovers a tonic that causes rapid weight-loss, ideal for obese people. He goes back to England and makes a fortune off the treatment...
One of the more silly Carry On movies, and certainly not as good as Carry on Doctor. Carry on Doctor had its fair share of slapstick, but also had some fairly clever jokes and was generally good fun.
Carry on Again Doctor is much more low-brow. Too many nudge-nudge-wink-wink sort of jokes and silly, random scenes.
Overall: not that funny and not worth watching.
