Geoffrey Hutchings Puns

This 2000 production is the story of Sid James and his affair with Barbara Windsor as the pair made Carry On films.

It starts in 1964 with a female "Dresser" bringing Sid (Geoffrey Hutchings) his latest costume to his caravan for his role as Mark Antony in Carry On Cleo. She's his third dresser that week. The real Sid talks more like a Carry On star in real life than any character in the films. As she's adjusting the hem: "While you're down there!"

He meets Barbara (Samantha Spiro) at a screening of Spy and her feistiness doesn't put him off. Compared to his usual conquests, Barbara is no easy roll in the hay, especially as she's due to be married within the week to Ronnie Knight.

Fast forward to 1969 where a man is painting the mud green for the filming of Camping. His clashes with Kenneth Williams are ongoing and the two really didn't like each other. I wonder if it was the same on Hancock. It's almost a film about making the Carry On films as it is a film about Sid and I wanted more of that instead of the focus on Sid. Sid has a heart attack.

They finally consummate the affair in Brighton on the set of Girls. Babs's husband Ronnie warns him off.

In 1974 and on the set of Dick, Sid is getting jealous of the way other men innocently treat Babs. Ronnie gets arrested for a serious crime.

There's a nice few shots of Babs being candid in out takes. Makes me miss her.

And then to Sunderland, where I knew what is coming from the book, Alice in Sunderland. The same Dresser is still with Sid. The rest of the cast drink and they all feel old.

Barbara Windsor plays herself in a final scene with Kenneth.

Adam Godley is very good as Kenneth Williams, as is Steve Speirs as Bernard Bresslaw.

There's a great little scene in the canteen when Kenneth Hawtrey introduces his mother to James Bond as Oddjob watches on. Goldfinger must have been filming at Pinewood at the same time. Another good one is Sid and Kenneth comparing their problems with piles.

I was working on a list of children lost while still in treatment, juvenile facilities, and programs. This is not a full list by far. It's over 300+ children who were gone too soon. I felt it was important to share on here because even if they didn't get press coverage, their lives mattered and their names should be remembered somewhere.

Do your worst!

For context I'm a Refuse Driver (Garbage man) & today I was on food waste. After I'd tipped I was checking the wagon for any defects when I spotted a lone pea balanced on the lifts.

I said "hey look, an escaPEA"

No one near me but it didn't half make me laugh for a good hour or so!

Edit: I can't believe how much this has blown up. Thank you everyone I've had a blast reading through the replies 😂

It really does, I swear!

They’re on standbi

Pilot on me!!

Dad jokes are supposed to be jokes you can tell a kid and they will understand it and find it funny.

This sub is mostly just NSFW puns now.

If it needs a NSFW tag it's not a dad joke. There should just be a NSFW puns subreddit for that.

Edit* I'm not replying any longer and turning off notifications but to all those that say "no one cares", there sure are a lot of you arguing about it. Maybe I'm wrong but you people don't need to be rude about it. If you really don't care, don't comment.

What did 0 say to 8 ?

" Nice Belt "

So What did 3 say to 8 ?

" Hey, you two stop making out "

When I got home, they were still there.

I won't be doing that today!

You take away their little brooms

This morning, my 4 year old daughter.

Daughter: I'm hungry

Me: nerves building, smile widening

Me: Hi hungry, I'm dad.

She had no idea what was going on but I finally did it.

Thank you all for listening.

Notices there's only 2;

Me: "Awe man... This is a damn bird box!" Her: "What the hell does that mean?!" Me: (Pulls both cans out & shows them to her) "It's only got Toucans."

I'm not ashamed to admit the look on her face was glorious.

I was just sitting there doing nothing.

“BOOM”?!

"That's what they're fighting about."
