Leslie Phillips and Jim Dale are the only 2 surviving actors who were in at least 4 Carry On films. Phillips is now by far and away the longest lived  of all the main Carry in stars. How long will he go on??????????

Julian Holloway was in eight Carry Ons...

What about Ray Brooks who played the bartender in Carry On Abroad?

 

82 next year and his last role was also in Eastenders (13 years ago) 

 

He's well known for other stuff mainly like Mr Benn, Big Deal etc but may be considered too young and with no word on his condition the committee may cast his inclusion aside.

Ray Brooks voiced the Rupert Bear series on BBC1 in the late 80's. He famously said that the inane rhyming couplets & the repetitious format of the series meant he was as drunk as possible without slurring the words before each session in the recording studio.

Lavender please.

Is Lavender almost ready for a Deathlist top 50 spot in homage to the late lamented Clive Dunn? He had cancer years ago and is very low profile now. 

 

I do think either he or Frank Williams should be chosen in 2021.

For completeness, Johnny Briggs dead. BBC obit.

Three Carry on films – Carry On Up the Khyber, Carry On Behind and Carry On England.

Quite a handsome lad in the 1960s.

Well, I'm going to say Brian Osborne was in 6 Carry On movies.

 

And he now has a Stage Obituary, having died earlier this month: https://www.thestage.co.uk/obituaries--archive/obituaries/brian-osborne-stage-tv-actor
