Carry On Up The Khyber is without a doubt the best of the series, It lampoons the British Empire in a way that Queen Vick would have been proud of her self - from the Karzi Of Kaliba calling Queen Vicrtoria every other London Rail Station (Queen Waterloo, Queen Euston) - to Private Widdles boxer shorts which ...
