Carry On Matron Carry On Matron Carry On Matron is the twenty-third in the series of "Carry On" films to be made. It was released in May 1972. It features series regulars Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims, Hattie Jacques, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor and Kenneth Connor. This was the last "Carry on..." film for Terry Scott after appearing in seven films. "Carry On Matron" was the second and last "Carry On..." for Kenneth Cope. Along with the next film in the series ("Carry On Abroad"), it features the highest number of the regular "Carry On" team. The only regular members
Carry On Behind already made their final "Carry On" film appearances. Chilly spring filming meant the bare trees, muddy fields and icy breath are all quite visible, although the setting is a summer caravanning holiday. A similar dilemma met the cast and crew in "Carry On Camping". The signage in Fred Ramsden's butcher's shop clearly shows that the shop is closing for the Easter holidays, which can occur as early as March. Whilst this film was in production, Bernard Bresslaw and Joan Sims also appeared in "One of Our Dinosaurs Is Missing", another film being made at Pinewood Studios alongside "Carry On Behind".
