Okay, I'm hooked! I acquired Carry On Cleo and am now looking for a second Carry On. Any Carry On feature will do. [Smile]

There are plenty of them arround except for Carry on Camping which I'm after.
I'm told the Camping neg got damaged which is why there are not that many prints in circulation.

A good print from Derann is "Thats Carry on" which is a great compliation from the series.

I have a copy and it's brilliant. I also have Cleo, Abroad, Convenience, Screaming, Girls, Jungle and a badly scratched copy of Camping which is why I'm looking for another copy or at least the first 2 reels.

These often turn up on the dealers lists such as Perry's, Derann, Foster films and Classic.

Happy hunting.

Kev.

Thanks, Kev, I've scanned the dealer's list. I found Doctor on eBay, but it was a black & white of a color. [Frown]

Right now I really need a feature.

Too bad about the camping neg. Couldn't a good Super 8 be printed from a 16mm neg?

Check out Classic Home Cinema's website... there are three full Carry On features on the used-sales/super-8 list.

Note the site has moved to http://www.classichomecinema.co.uk/ (the old valueservices.org server no longer hosts CHC). [Smile]

Dan, I think it was a 16mm neg that was used for camping. The trouble is the cost now for having another neg made for a short run of prints and of course finding decent source material makes it a bit of a no no. [Frown]

Thanks, Jan, I totally spaced on that one. [Roll Eyes]

Thanks!

Kev, I guess the only company that would print up another Camping is Derann. They would have to sell a lot of prints to make it cost effective. As Jan would say..."sigh". [Big Grin]

I space out all the time so don't feel bad. [Razz]

Actually, if you'll also consider collecting Carry On features on 16mm, you ought to check out Paul Foster's website as well, there's another three of them. [Smile]

Jan, until the currency conversion evens out a litle more, shipping a 16mm feature from the UK is too steep for me. Super 8 is okay though. [Cool]
