Carry On Doctor is the fifteenth "Carry On" film.
Plot Summary
Francis Bigger, 'preacher and healer', ends up in hospital in this chaotic Carry-on medical movie. With Dr. Kilmore in trouble, Matron refuses to support him after the amorous attentions she has fed Dr. Tinkle have paid off. There's a humorous but slight role for Charles Hawtrey suffering from a sympathetic pregnancy and the film closes with the patients' revenge on Dr. Tinkle and the formidable Matron because of their conspiracy against Dr. Kilmore.Trivia
- Sid James spent most of his screen time in bed, as he had recently suffered a heart attack.
- The exterior shots of the hospital are actually of Maidenhead (in Berkshire, England) Town Hall.
- The portrait hanging over one of the doors is that of Sir Lancelot interpreted by James Robertson Justice in the rival series "Doctor", produced by Peter Rogers' wife, Betty E. Box.
- Contains a sly reference to Carry On Nurse (1959), specifically the daffodil thermometer scene. When a nurse approaches Francis Bigger with a daffodil, he says, "Oh no you don't! I saw that film!"
