Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism.

In this episode, we continue our love for the Carry On movies with the second in the series, Carry On Nurse which is celebrating its 60th anniversary this month.

Set in Haven Hospital where a certain men's ward is causing more havoc than the whole hospital put together. The formidable Matron's debut gives the patients a chill every time she walks past, with only Reckitt standing up to her. There's a major who is a constant nuisance, a bumbling nurse, a romance between Ted York and Nurse Denton and Bell who wants his bunion removed straight away.

Episode 032 - Heaven's Above (1963)

Welcome to Reel Britannia-a very British podcast about very British films....with the occasional hint of professionalism.

It’s episode 032 – time for some Peter Sellers in the Boulting Brothers’ classic ‘Heaven’s Above’ from 1963.

In a case of mistaken identity, John Smallwood (Peter Sellers), an idealistic vicar with socialist beliefs, is appointed to a village parish populated by elitist landed gentry. There his conscience and acts of charity quickly become unpopular with the parishioners, who reveal a selfish and un-Christian disdain for those less fortunate who the reverend welcomes to the parish. Things really go awry, however, when Smallwood's actions endanger the village's primary source of income.
