This is typical British School Yard Humour that every school kid relishes in. It’s harmless Tongue in cheek stuff that even we as kids relished. I would rather have my lads subjected to this form of smutty toilet humour than the f’ing and blinding that’s common on our streets today.
None of the “Carry On” films have harmed no one in my opinion, they maybe crap but in many ways it’s a lost form of humour that has been replaced by a lot of harder more explicit humour that kids see in Playstation or Xbox games and films targeted at younger individuals today.
I actually agree that it would be nice to see a resurgence of the good solid Children’s Drama, but it would perhaps only be appreciated in our eyes, regrettably for better or worse youngsters today have move on and what we enjoyed on TV many kids would reject today.

Have you seen it?
The early Carry On films had typical English innuendo, and were saucy in the same way seaside postcards are. This was a film released (1974) when the British film industry was in the pits. Seeing bare breasts, and having jokes featuring the word c*ck as the punchline, didn't seem appropriate for Sunday teamtime viewing.
When released the film was to be shown only to over fourteen year olds. I don't know how old your son is, but I certainly wouldn't have been happy to let my nephew see it, aged seven.
If something that was deemed only to be suitable for young adults (14+), is now to be shown at teatime thirty years later, what have families to look forward to next Sunday teatime? Emmanuelle?
