The first Carry On film - Carry On Sergeant - was released in August 1958. Over the next two decades, audiences flocked cinemas to see these iconic British comedies.
Commentators and Carry On stars reflect on how the Carry On franchise held a mirror up to society, but eventually, the format was unable to adapt to the pace of social change.
The Archive Hour: Carry On Britain will be broadcast on BBC Radio 4 on Saturday 26 July at 2000 BST. It will also be available for a week as a podcast.
Slideshow contributions from actresses Shirley Eaton, Fenella Fielding, and Barbara Windsor; and commentators Simon Heffer, Sir Christopher Frayling and Andy Medhurst. Archive courtesy Canal+/Granada International.
