Carry On Teacher is the third Carry On film, released in 1959. It features Ted Ray in his only Carry On role and a young Larry Dann makes the first of four Carry On appearances.

Plot summary

Two school inspectors (Phillips and Knight) come to the school to assess the performance of the staff with their control over the children. It is a constant battle between the kids and the teachers, with some teachers like Miss Short (Jacques) favouring the 'hard- hitting' method while others such as Mr.Milton (Williams) favouring a less disciplinary approach. All this happens because the pupils hear that their headmaster (Ray) is planning to apply for a new post and they want him to stay. There is the 'blossoming romance' story thread and the kids have fun sabotaging a piano, a rocket, and a play.

Trivia

During the filming, Charles Hawtrey's mother would often visit the set. While enjoying a cigarette, she accidentally dropped lit ash from the cigarette into her handbag. Joan Sims who was the first to spot the incident yelled, "Charlie Charlie, your mother's bag is on fire!". Charles Hawtrey poured his cup of tea into the bag, snapped it shut, and carried on.
