Sadly I have to report that I do remember this. That's the one you got
a lion branded on his shoulder if no one wanted to buy you at the slave
auction - run by Marcus and Spensius.
Carry On films were special to me as a child - mostly because my mother
thought they were stupid. This meant that they simply HAD to be
watched. Our father agreed with us on this - and most probably for the
same reason! My mother disapproved of anything involving Kenneth
Williams as a matter of principle so my sister and I always made a point
of being home from school on time if he was reading Jackanory :)
heh.
