| A bewildering array of Carry On collectibles have been produced over the years. As you might expect, all the films are now available to buy in one form or another (DVD, VHS, even audio cassette) and there are a wealth of books covering every aspect of the films' production as well as multiple biographies, autobiographies and tie-ins. But it doesn't stop there. The well-dressed Carry On fan can parade around in Carry On underpants (available in three varieties, no less: Sid James, Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor), choose from a variety of Carry On T shirts, socks, ties and other clothes. They can then (provided they haven't been sectioned by this point) take a trip to their local pub, play on the Carry On fruit machines and rest their Carry On tankard on one of several different Carry On beer mats produced over the years.
Since Carlton took over the Carry On license in the late 1990s, the floodgates have well and truly opened; greetings cards, model vehicles, nodding head dolls, collectible dolls, mugs, badges, CDs, yoyos, trading cards, the list goes on. Just when you think they've put a logo on every possible product, along comes another one. It's an expensive hobby, to be sure, but there are some absolute gems out there. Not literally, of course - although it's probably just a matter of time.
The memorabilia listed here is far from an exhaustive list. If you know of any items not included, do not hesitate to contact me via the link at the top of the page.
