To be fair, I can see where
Pontius gets confused (he is a Nav), but he is wrong!
Bill Hartnell played essentially the same character in three incarnations. First in
Private's Progress as Sgt Grimshawe in 1956, secondly as CSM Bullimore in the television series
The Army Game which began in 1957, and lastly as Sgt Sutton in
Carry on Sergeant in 1958.
To be fair (again!) you have to scroll to the second cast list page in IMDB to find Bob Monkhouse who plays the character Charlie Sage. The object of his daydreams was the delectable Shirley Eaton, later fatally painted by Goldfinger. The characters had recently been married, Miss Eaton plays Mary Sage.....
I'm All Right Jack was indeed the sequel to Private's Progress, with Ian Carmichael playing the Stanley Windrush character in both.
Pontius my old directional consultant, it'll cost you a beer if/when we ever meet ..... and never cross me in a pub quiz.....
Memo to self: ... must get out more .... sorry for the thread drift but I
am a QHI .......
