	Charles Hawtrey
		Charles Hawtrey was born George Frederick Joffre Hartree in 1914, in Hounslow, Middlesex.
		Hawtrey is often confused with the celebrated Edwardian actor Sir Charles Hawtrey, to whom he is no relation; he borrowed the actor's name two years after his death.
		Hawtrey was justifiably proud of his track record on both stage and screen - from his early films appearances in the 1930s, through to a string of theatrical engagements including Gremio in the Old Vic's performance of the Taming of the Shrew in 1939.

	Charles Hawtrey
		Pop-eyed and bespectacled, thin lips, it seemed, permanently pursed in an expression of disapproval or in anticipation of trouble, Hawtrey came originally from a theatrical family based in Middlesex.
		But it was a series of films that Hawtrey made with Will Hay that made his name, defined his image and familiarised audiences with his face.
		Hay was Hawtrey's idol - he once said 'I learned everything I know from him - and he even turned down a role in Top of the Form (1952), a remake of Hay's 1937 film Good Morning, Boys, because he thought (rightly) that it cheapened the original.

	Charles Hawtrey (Carry On actor) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		He remembers a visit to Deal where Hawtrey's house was full of old brass bedsteads which the eccentric had kept, believing that one day he would make money from them.
		The falling-out between Hawtrey and the Carry-On producer, Peter Rogers, came about partly through drink, but partly because he had hoped for higher billing.
		Rogers tried to contact Hawtrey a day before filming began at the hotel where Hawtrey regularly dined.

	KINGS OF CAMP - CHARLES HAWTREY
		After leaving the "Carry On" series of films in 1973, because they wouldn't give him the higher billing that he believed he deserved, he went into semi-retirement living in an old smuggler's cottage near the seafront in Deal, Kent.

		If you had asked Charles Hawtrey what his family history was, he would have told you that he was the son of the celebrated Sir Charles Hawtrey, the light comedy actor-manager and he would have regaled anecdotes about him.
		Charles Hawtrey’s youth is a little known subject.
		Hawtrey could never by confused as a sex symbol with his camped up voice and just when you think he’s going to embark on a love affair, the script flips him over and he is fact sharing a night watching television or having a game of cards.

	Britain's Carry On films
		When the Carry On team crash into Henry VIII's England, Cleopatra's Egypt, or Louis XVI's France, it's to prove that base instincts and bodily processes are just as prevalent in a world pseudo-sanitized by wealth, grandeur, or history as in the seaside-postcard context that commentators see as the movie saga's matrix.
		Jacques is a frustrated spinster of tentlike proportions, Charles Hawtrey a campily dotty shrink, and Williams a psychological stretcher-case: he is afraid, amid other hypochondrias, that he is changing sex.
		James is Carry On's answer to the unfettered moral commentator the Bard wrote into his plays as the "common man": Launcelot Enobarbus in Antony and Cleopatra, the Gravedigger in Hamlet.

	Biography for Charles Hawtrey (I) (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		Coming from a theatrical family (although not related to the famous Edwardian actor Sir Charles Hawtrey, he did "borrow" his last name), Charles Hawtrey made his stage debut at age 11 after having spent several years in a prestigious acting school.
		Hawtrey was, by most accounts, almost as eccentric in real life as his character in the "Carry On" series was; one of his characteristics was to speak in an unintelligible language of his own making, which was only understood by a few of his closest friends.
		Came from a theatrical family and claimed at one point that his father was the Edwardian actor Charles Hawtrey.

	BBC - Films -article article - Carry On Carrying On
		An army comedy based on a novel by RF Delderfield about national service, "Sergeant" used the favoured plot (cf: "Police Academy") of the bunch of foul-ups and eccentrics who have to come together and be a crack platoon so their gruff but lovable sarge won't retire in disgrace.
		Connor, Williams, Charles Hawtrey, and Hattie Jacques were well down the cast and the leads were Bob Monkhouse and Shirley Eaton.
		Maybe even the good Carry Ons aren't as funny as you remember, but the little family of players and the groaner jokes - as comforting as fish and chips on the table and ornaments on the mantelpiece - are still a part of the childhood memories of whole generations of Brits.

	DVD Times - Carry On Abroad SE
		Carry On Abroad, of 1972 vintage, is the last of the series to feature a relatively full complement of the team and the swan song of the great Charles Hawtrey.
		He was a much better actor than he was given credit for being and if you doubt this, just look at the scenes between him and Joan Sims in Carry On At Your Convenience which are genuinely Pinteresque in their inarticulate sense of thwarted suburban longing.
		Carry On Abroad has an oddly melancholic feel to it, as if all involved are aware that it’s coming to the end of an era.

		This book took my breath away,the diaries of the late Carry on star although he would most annoyed to think of himself as just a Carry on 'actor' are one of the best things ever committed to paper.
		He was very fond of Joan Sims (he once asked her to marry him, on condition that they had separate bedrooms, rather understandably she turned him down!) but couldn't take it when she told him to pipe down at the lunch table.
		With Charles Hawtrey he obviously had an awful lot in common and yet was constantly exasperated at Hawtrey's messy private life.

	DVD.net : Carry on Jack - DVD Review
		Starring fewer Carry On regulars than many of the other films in the stable, Carry On Jack is a laugh every 28 minutes, roller coaster ride of fun and frolics on the high seas - minus the fun and frolics.
		This 1963 effort stars Kenneth Williams and Charles Hawtrey, considered by many 'fans' as two of the funnier Carry On regulars, with help from semi-regulars Bernard Cribbins and Jim Dale, as well as Juliet Mills doing a "Bob" (Blackadder fans will know what I mean).
		The rest of the film is a combination of running gags, slapstick, melodrama, double entendres and the usual corny Carry On gags that may have been somewhat amusing 40 years ago, but in 2003 are just turgid and lame.

	DVD.net : Carry on Cowboy - DVD Review
		Carry On Cowboy dates from 1965, when the Carry On team was fairly well established.
		Here are the regular stalwarts Sidney James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Joan Sims, along with Jim Dale and Angela Douglas, dressing up a conventional 'mistaken identity' plot with their standard schoolboy-level sexual double-entendres and lascivious leerings.
		I'm not a Carry On fan; I think their style of humour had dated badly before the screenplays were written.

		Carry On Up The Kyber is consistently funny throughout with Talbot Rothwell's script bubbling with inventive repartee and sparkling razor sharp wit.
		The film boasts the best ending in a Carry On film, where the gang are all keeping a stiff British upper lip and deciding to ignore the attack that's taking place outside the building, proceed to continue with their supper whilst the building is collapsing around their ears.

	Amazon.com: Carry On... Up the Khyber: Video: Sid James,Kenneth Williams,Charles Hawtrey,Roy Castle,Joan Sims,Bernard ... (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-09-08)
		The British comedy film "Carry On Up the Khyber" is set in 19th century India and concerns the British 3rd Foot and Mouth Regiment known as "The Devils in Skirts." The regiment's fearsome reputation and the knowledge that they wear nothing under their kilts, keeps the natives from throwing the British out of India.
		The Carry On films were never going to win awards for sophistication, and, in my humble opinion, there were only a handful of really worthy ones in the whole series of some thirty or so pics.
		Carry on up the Khyber dared to go where no other film would go or has gone since and I can still watch it even now and laugh until my sides hurt.

	PastryWiz UK: Carry On Abroad [1972] DVD
		Carry On Abroad is one of my personal favourite entries to the staggeringly, long running series, largley due to the large cast featuring all of the great regulars which are obviously, SID JAMES, KENNETH WILLIAMS, JOAN SIMS, CHARLES HAWTREY, BARBARA WINDSOR, HATTIE JAQUES, PETER BUTERWORTH, KENNETH CONNOR and BERNARD BRESSLAW.
		Carry On Abroad (1972) is amongst the best of the series which is largely due to the extensive cast which features all of the regular memebers of the gang as well as a host of familiar faces that were famous at the time.
		Charles Hawtrey's real-life drinking problem is cruelly mocked and an abundance of boobs & bums try to convince us that this is comedy.

		Movies like Carry On at Your Convenience may not be the cream of the British comedy crop, but they have their moments.
		As with all of Carlon's SE Carry Ons, Carry On at Your Convenience has the usual well-written, full-color booklet by series historian Robert Ross, which offers fascinating capsule bios of the cast and puts their careers into historical context.
		The other big extra is a November 1975 episode of the teleseries Carry On Laughing entitled "The Case of the Screaming Winkles." A broad parody of the Lord Peter Wimsey mysteries, this was one of three shows to feature series regulars Jack Douglas and Kenneth Connor as Lord Peter Flimsey and his butler, Punter.
