 As far as I can remember Bush televisions were never part of the Thorn-EMI group. I worked for them from 1980 - 2001 and the brands they were associated with were Ferguson, HMV, Marconiphone and Ultra.

 Referencing Neil Forbes - 7th Oct 2015

"....(like the feature made in 1976 called "That's Carry On" which was hosted by Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor)...."

A long time ago, I'm guessing mid to late 1980s I was using VHS video blank tapes, and I bought a 3-pack of BUSH E-180 blank video tapes to record from terrestial television. One of the three tapes had a pre-recorded copy of "That's Carry-On" included on the VHS tape, and it ran for around 90 minutes.

Once watched it could be taped over, if required, but at that time I had 2 young children (now 35 and 32) who derived some pleasure from the compilation, so I kept as is. I still have that tape, and it plays okay, an SP recording, and I recorded other bits on the blank portion unused, in LP mode.

Details on the slip-case....
"Film Bonanza 3-pack E-180 including Pre-Recorded Film on one cassette within this pack"

PG rating (parental guidance) Rank Film Distributors - Running Time 95 minutes in colour

The Best Gags From The Carry On Series

Blank tape cassette VHS (PAL-SECAM) made in UK by BUSH, with custom printed details of the film including photographs on the otherwise standard BUSH video cardboard slip case.

Anyone who might remember will know that BUSH was a UK company who manufactured television sets and hi-fi equipment, and I believe they were a part of Thorn-EMI.

Back in the day (1979 on) when I used to buy blank VHS tape cassettes, who JVC of Japan had patented, you could buy blank VHS cassettes manufactured by Thorn, BUSH, JVC and one or two others I do not recall, and boy were they ever expensive, about £15 to £20 retail for a blank E-180 tape cassette. E-60 and E-120 were also available but were not much cheaper, pro-rata.

 From Harley: " Charles Hawtrey was fired from the Carry On Movies series for turning up drunk on more then one occasion" Oh, hell-o!, Charley Hawtrey drunk? Probably explains his absence from Carry On England and a couple of earlier movies!

 @Neil You are right they are fresh sketches at the time but lacked the classic writer of the Carry Movies Talbot Rothwell. The series suffered because Sid James only did the first four episodes, Hattie Jacques did one, Kenneth Williams declined to appear and to what I remember Charles Hawtrey was fired from the Carry On Movies series for turning up drunk on more then one occasion.

 When I saw the title screen of this, I took it to be an expanded version of a "best-of..." look at the movies made thus far, up to 1975(like the feature made in 1976 called "That's Carry-On" which was hosted by Kenneth Williams and Barbara Windsor), but not including "Carry On England" which wasn't made or released until 1976. Apparently I'm wrong in that guess as it appears this is freshly-made short sketches.
