Retrospection

In this episode we gulp down a stiff drink and take a hard, long look at Carry on Behind from 1975. The Carry On series spanned over 20 years and 30 films and is a cultural instution in the UK. But how does one of the later entries in the series fare under the Retrospection magnifying glass? We also finish with a song written and performed by one of our listeners. Enjoy!   Intro Music Anglo Amalagamated fanfare by Bruce Montgomery Carry on Behind Opening Theme by Eric Rogers  Outro Music Better Back Then by Adam Warner

In this episode we rev up our engines and take a race down the Streets of Fire (1984). Walter Hill's musically based Rock and Roll fable disppeared without trace in the summer of '84.
