In Carry On Sergeant ( 1958), a sergeant ( William Hartnell) takes a bet that the last recruits he trains will win the 'Star Squad' award. For six years Sergeant Grimshawe has been a training sergeant but never the proud leader of a Star Squad. Their suty time is taken up not only with nursing, but in attempting to control the riotous “shower” of patients who are always up to some prank or other. Satirising the Space Race, the cast was to consist of three would-be astronauts who constantly bungled on their training and their mission into outer space; most likely the trio would have been played by the trio of Kenneth Williams, Kenneth Connor, and Leslie Phillips that had been established in Carry On Constable.

In Carry On Girls ( 1973), Sid Fiddler ( Sid James) convinces Fircombe council to hold a beauty contest, but the local women's lib action group opposes the idea.

Harry Enfield's mockumentary Norbert Smith: A Life (1989) includes a clip from an imagined film, Carry On Banging (a parody of the more risque approach of the later films, such as Carry On Dick and Carry On Emmannuelle). In Carry On Again, Doctor ( 1969), Jim Dale plays a surgeon who sets up a slimming clinic on the basis of a potion from the Beatific Isles. Really not happy I was so looking forward to watching these carry on films and yet i am only 5 discs in and already I've had to miss out on watching 2 films because they wouldn't play properly! Carry On Nurse was alluded to twice in Carry On Doctor, firstly with the sub-titles (one reading Nurse Carries On Again and Death of a Daffodil), and again in a later scene with Frankie Howerd commenting on a vase of daffodils in his hospital room.

Rogers and Thomas were responsible for all 31 films, usually on time and to a strict budget, and often employed the same crew — some of whom were also regulars on the James Bond series, such as Peter Lamont, Alan Hume, and Anthony Waye. But when he's lumbered with a motley crew of inductees, Grimshawe suspects he hasn't a chance of winning the bet. However, by the late 1960s, at the height of the series' success, more ambitious plots occasionally necessitated locations further afield, which included Snowdonia National Park, Wales (with the foot of Snowdon standing in for the Khyber Pass in Carry On Up the Khyber), and the beaches of the Sussex coast doubling as Saharan sand dunes in Follow That Camel.This initial 'pattern' was broken with the fifth film in 1961, Carry On Regardless, but it still followed a similar plot to that of many of the early films—a small group of misfit newcomers to a job make comic mistakes, but come together to succeed in the end. When that too was successful, further forays with Carry On Teacher and Carry On Constable established the series. The production was abandoned when Dallas production company Lorimar Productions demanded a royalty fee of 20 times the total production budget.
