I've not been very productive today, but I think I'll start being productive in a bit.

I have had in my mind the germ of a thesis on 'the Carry On films as a barometer of British society and attitudes' for some years now. You really can see the changes in attitudes to what was acceptable both in terms of nudity, swearing etc (getting slacker as the films progressed) and in attitudes to women (getting a bit less 'slap the secretary's arse' and ever-so-slightly more girl-power-ish as seen in the later Beauty Contest film) and so on. With a section dealing with how the films eventually died on their arses because society had moved so far from its position when the first films were made as to render them obsolete.
I really have thought a great deal too much about this.
PHWOOOOAARRRR! There, that's better.
