Carry On Cabby is one of the early Carry On movies and I consider this to be one of the better ones too.

The boss of a cab company, Charlie is such a workaholic that his wife, Peggy decides to set up her own in competition and calls it Glam Cabs. She uses a fleet of new cars for this and all of the drivers employed are attractive young ladies.

This is fast paced throughout and very funny.

The cast includes Carry On regulars Sid Kames and Hattie Jaques as Charle and Peggy, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Conner. With Amanda Barrie (Coronation Street), Bill Owen (Last Of the Summer Wine) and Liz Fraser.

Have a good laugh with Carry On Cabby. Brilliant.

Rating: 3 and a half stars out of 5.
