Sid James talks to Paul Hollingdale

BBC Radio 4 Extra - Carry On at 65, Sid James talks to Paul Hollingdale

An excerpt from a newly discovered interview between Sid James and Paul Hollingdale.

In an excerpt from a newly discovered interview from the mid 1970s, Sid James speaks to Paul Hollingdale about his experiences of the Carry On films across the globe.

In the mid 1970s the late broadcaster Paul Hollingdale, who died in 2017, spoke to Sid James for a series of interviews which were never aired in the UK.

Although the exact date of this recording is unknown, references suggest it took place in late 1974, less than two years before the Carry On star's sudden death in 1976.

In this extract, we hear a relaxed Sid reminisce about watching Carry On Cowboy on holiday in Spain, introducing Carry On Camping to an audience in Bangkok and being recognised at the passport desk at Honolulu airport.
