"Frankie Howerd is the guest star in this classic Carry On. He plays Francis Bigger, a charlatan faith healer who ends up in hospital and what a hospital!
Doctors Tinkle and Kilmore have a record most executioners would be proud of. The Matron could bring the dead back to life simply by shrieking at them and the nurses are always raising the blood pressure of the 75 male patients - much to their delight!
Carry On Doctor is a case history of rude health that will have you in stitches!"

The Story
Faith healer, Francis
Bigger won't take his own medicine, when he has an accident on stage.
Instead, he finds himself at the hands of Doctors Kilmore and Tinkle.
Kilmore, through a series of misunderstandings, soon loses his job and it'
up to the patients to convince Matron and Doctor Tinkle to give him his job
back...

Comments
This is one of the best
remembered Carry Ons, and it's easy to see why. The jokes fly at you, thick
and fast. The gang's all here, and they all seem to be loving every minute
of it. A welcome return to the then-present day, this film ranks highly in
my league of Carry Ons.
