Event Chronology[edit]
The Storybrooke events take place after the current events of "The Song in Your Heart", while the current events in the Enchanted Forest occur after "Mother's Little Helper".
The future events depicted in both Part 1 and Part 2 occurs in a new realm during the events of “The Eighth Witch,” and the events in "Hyperion Heights".
Part 1[edit]
In An Unknown Realm[edit]
In the woods, a man is seen running away from a beast. He reaches a cabin and sends his daughter Lucy away with the "Once Upon A Time" storybook, telling her to keep it safe as he fights off the creature.
In Storybrooke, the Enchanted Forest and other realms during Fiona’s Curse[edit]
It has been hours after Fiona enacted her curse on the entire town that engulfed everyone after the wedding. However, Henry, who is spared, thanks to being the Author and having the Heart of the Truest Believer, wakes up with the Storybook in his hands, and starts searching for his family. After running into Archie, he tells Henry that Emma is at the hospital, where she has been committed to a psychiatric ward for the past two years. While visiting Emma, he learns that with Fiona's Curse, Regina's original curse was never broken, and Emma had stopped believing him. He asks her where Snow, Hook and David are, but the new Curse now has Emma believing that these events never happened, citing that she has made so much progress and can’t go back, then tells Henry to stop telling her about these stories. Suddenly Fiona (who is now the Mayor and Henry's mother) arrives and takes the book from Henry, but before he leaves he whispers in Emma's ear to tell her to resist, as the Final Battle is coming.
At the same time in the Enchanted Forest, Snow, David, Hook and Regina wake up and discover they have returned to the place where the events that lead to the First Curse began. They discover it is a prison for them and is tied to the book. Fiona, who is using this to banish Emma's family forever, tells Emma that she must burn the storybook if she wants to be released from the hospital, but Emma refuses, as she doesn't want to break Henry's heart. Back in the Enchanted Forest, everyone realizes that the Final Battle will begin over Emma's soul and belief. Fiona is trying to get Emma to stop believing so the realm of stories will be consumed by the Darkness and cease to exist. It is later revealed that as each realm is destroyed, the Darkness grows stronger, and so does Fiona, while Light Magic weakens across the remaining cursed realms. When Zelena shows up with the Mad Hatter hat, they transport to a portal of doors, where Zelena's realm (Oz) has disappeared. If Fiona succeeds, she can make Emma destroy all the realms, prompting them to come up with a plan to save Emma. At the same time in Storybrooke, Fiona brings lunch to Gold and asks that he fix her watch, as it appears that she is now the primary support in the wake of Belle's "disappearance."
It appears that Emma is starting to lose her faith, as the realms start to be consumed by the Darkness, forcing everyone and all the survivors from the other realms to take shelter in the Evil Queen's Castle, including Aladdin and Jasmine after Agrabah was consumed. Outside, Hook and David climb the magic beanstalk, in hopes of finding a magic bean that will get everyone back to Storybrooke. At the same time, Henry breaks Emma out of the hospital and takes his mother to the rooftop where she was married, in hopes that she will remember her wedding to Killian. She has glimpses of her memories, but Emma has doubts and tells Henry that she wants to return to Boston, for fear that Fiona will put her back in the psychiatric ward. Henry decides to help her. Meanwhile, Gideon is extremely upset with Belle "deserting" him and now sees Fiona as more of a mother than Belle, and Gold's attempts to console his son don't help either. When Gold searches through his belongings, he also discovers that most of his magic potions had been removed by Fiona's Curse.
Back in the Enchanted Forest, Regina and Zelena try to work on a potion but most of her ingredients have been removed by Fiona's Curse, when The Evil Queen arrives and offers to help. In Storybrooke, hours later, Henry attempts to steal the Storybook back from Fiona but she catches him, and believes that she can use him to control Emma. As Henry escapes, Fiona uses her magic to push him down the stairs.
Moments later, Gold asks Fiona to reopen the investigation into Belle’s disappearance. As Fiona tries to talk him out of it, she shows him pictures of Belle enjoying life in other countries, and wants Gold to move on from Belle. Back in the Enchanted Forest, Hook and David began their search for the magic beans and Hook finds one, only to encounter a dragon. The creature chases them down the beanstalk after they take the bean. At the hospital, Henry wakes up and discovers that Fiona is manipulating Emma during their visit. Afterwards, Fiona finally succeeds in convincing Emma to burn the storybook in the furnace as Fiona tells Emma it's the only way to keep Henry safe and to end the delusions. Thanks to Fiona's scheme, most of the realms depicted in the book are consumed by Darkness (at least 17 realms), and the Darkness arrives on the outskirts of the Enchanted Forest, in the form of a massive storm of Dark Magic. However, as the book is burning, the pages flip to a picture of Hook, and Emma stares at his image as the flames consume the page.
Part 2[edit]
In An Unknown Realm (in the Future)[edit]
Many years in the future, the young girl returns to her home and discovers everything destroyed. However, Tiger Lily shows up and tells her to take the book to her mother, telling her that the fairies foresaw that she will be reunited with her father.
In Storybrooke[edit]
Back in Storybrooke, Fiona, convinced that she has succeeded, brings what was left of the book to Henry and gloats that Emma has lost her faith, though Henry refuses to accept this. Emma leaves Storybrooke to return to Boston. When she gets home, she discovers that Henry left her a hand-drawn storybook in order to make her remember their past. Meanwhile, as the realms are starting to collapse, and the Darkness approaches, David and Hook escape the dragon, but while climbing down the beanstalk, they lose their balance and fall. Regina and the Evil Queen discover that the bean had withered and lost its magic, because Fiona's Curse has caused Emma's lack of faith to drain the magic from the realm. Snow finds Hook alright, and she tells him to take the bean to the castle without her. When Snow finds an unconscious David, she kisses him and when he wakes, he tells her that Darkness never wins. As they rush to the castle, the storm of Dark Magic accelerates towards them.
In Storybrooke, Henry goes to the pawnshop and meets with Gold who attempts to feign ignorance of the Curse. However, Henry goes to the back and uncovers Gold's potions, proving that Gold remembers his past. Gold acknowledges Henry's cleverness, but also refuses to help Henry as his primary concern is finding Belle. Henry decides that he should take on Fiona himself, and Gold heals his injuries and allows him to take an enchanted sword, from the shop. Back in the Enchanted Forest, the Darkness has arrived at the castle, the Evil Queen decides to sacrifice herself and use all of her magic to protect the castle, in order to buy enough time for Regina to restore the bean with her magic, while everyone else gathers together in the courtyard. However, Regina fails to restore the bean in time, and the Darkness bursts into the castle, surrounding them, while slowly closing in. They realize that Henry is their only hope, since Regina can't restore the bean before they are all consumed. When Henry arrives at the Mayor's office with the sword, Emma arrives. She tells Henry that while she doesn't remember being who Henry tells her she is, but she does believe that she can be that person with his help. Her renewed belief stops the destruction of the Enchanted Forest just in time to save the others. The Darkness pulls back, revealing that everything in the Enchanted Forest Realm had been consumed, except for a small column of land that the group stands on. At the same time, Gold uses a tracking spell on "Her Handsome Hero" to find Belle, who was hiding from Fiona, and she hides from Gold as well, having been turned into a coward by Fiona's Curse. Gold tells her about Fiona's deception, and vows revenge on Fiona for what she had done to Belle.
Fiona stops by the pawn shop to see Gideon, now that Emma has regained her memories, where it turns out that Fiona had reclaimed Gideon's heart with the Curse. Then, she uses him to recover her own wand, which she uses to decipher the mysterious writings that Henry had scribbled in the page. Fiona then reads the inscriptions, which details the birth of Light and Darkness, their battle throughout the ages waged via their emissaries, the deaths of the previous Saviors and their enemies at each other's hands, and how the Final Battle will begin after the Emma's birth. After Gideon leaves to find Emma, Gold arrives in the shop, but Fiona fails to trick Gold into thinking that she had only come for her watch. When Gold confronts Fiona about her plans, she tells her son that once the Final Battle is over, the Curse will be lifted and they can be a family again. She also tells Gold that after she destroys all Light Magic, she will have so much power that she will be able to break the Laws of Magic at will, and she will even be able to bring back the dead. She tells him that she can bring back his first-born son, Baelfire, for him. She goes on to say that with her new powers, she will be able to make his family love him as the Dark One, so that he can keep his power and be loved at the same time. However, Gold knows that is will come with a steep price and tells her that he refuses to pay the price of magic anymore, and he slips Fiona's wand into his hand. He forces her onto the ground with magic, vowing to make her pay for what she did to Belle. Fiona tells Gold that she had deciphered Henry's writing. She learned that Darkness cannot destroy Light, since Darkness isn't strong enough. However, Light can destroy Light. She explains she gave Gideon one final command; to kill Emma, and that even if she dies, Gideon will still be forced to carry out her command. Gold decides to test this and kills Fiona with her own wand, breaking the Dark Curse. This causes Snow, David, Regina, Hook, and Zelena to be transported back to Storybrooke from the Enchanted Forest, while Emma and the other residents of Storybrooke regain their memories. Soon afterward, Belle returns to Gold and comforts him over his actions, while Gideon arrives at the Mayor's Office with the sword Hrunting in his hand. As expected, Gideon confronts Emma, and is ready to face off against her.
Both Gold and Belle set off to search for Gideon's heart. Henry helps Emma escape from Gideon (knocking him out with a fire extinguisher) with Emma placing a protection spell to contain him temporarily. The others realize that Fiona has crafted the perfect trap: If Gideon kills Emma, Light will be destroyed. And if Emma kills Gideon, she will turn dark and Light will still be destroyed. Regina consoles Emma and encourages her to find another way like she always does. Emma attempts to hold off Gideon as Gold finds Gideon's heart. When Gold finds Gideon's heart he is tempted by a manifestation of the Darkness, which takes the form of his Enchanted Forest counterpart, Rumplestiltskin. The Dark One manifestation tells him to let Gideon kill Emma so he can finally have it all: power and love. The manifestation reminds Gold of what Fiona told him, that if Emma dies, his Dark Magic will increase exponentially. After it's all over, he can spend all the time he wants exploring the world with Belle, before spending the next 100 years destroying it. Gold resists the temptation and chooses to do the right thing and tries to use Gideon's heart to stop him from killing Emma. However Fiona's spell keeps him from being able to free Gideon, and instead, Gideon's heart stops beating and dims. The manifestation taunts Gold before disappearing, and Gold heads out to Belle, who consoles him for trying to do the right thing. Back at the intersection, Emma and Gideon fight with Emma acknowledging her role as the Savior to protect those she loves, protect the innocent and to spread light and hope no matter what the cost. Realizing what she must do, Emma throws down her sword and Gideon apologizes and kills her, releasing an enormous blast of light magic, ending the Final Battle and causing Gideon to disappear.
As everyone gathers around Emma's body Henry, using true love's kiss, brings her back to life. Gold and Belle discover to their shock that Gideon is once again a baby with his heart restored into his body. Realizing that this is a new start as a family, Belle tells Gold that this is their happy beginning. Snow then sees the "Once Upon a Time" storybook reappear. Henry looks at the final page of the storybook which suddenly writes itself with the words "When both good and evil did the right thing, faith was restored and the final battle was won." Snow reminds everyone that the story isn’t over. The Enchanted Forest, Neverland, Wonderland, Agrabah, Arendelle, the Land of Oz and all the other realms are restored and their residents obtain their happy beginnings, as does everyone in Storybrooke. Emma and Hook patrol as the town Sheriffs, Henry goes to school, Regina returns to her role as Mayor when dwarfs gave her title "queen" without "evil", David farms with a growing Neal, Zelena spends time with baby Robin, Gold and Belle renew their relationship and raise their son together, Snow White becomes a teacher again and Robin Hood propose to the Evil Queen in Regina's restored palace. They all gather together at Granny's to celebrate their lives together.
In Seattle, Many Years Later[edit]
Many "Years Later" in Seattle, Lucy arrives at the man's apartment by train. Lucy tells the man, who is revealed to be an adult Henry, that she is his daughter and that his family needs him, although Henry no longer remembers her.
Production[edit]
"The Final Battle" marks the last appearances as regulars of six of the cast: Jennifer Morrison, Ginnifer Goodwin, Josh Dallas, Jared S. Gilmore, Emilie de Ravin, and Rebecca Mader. The episodes' bookends set up new timelines that will continue in the seventh season. However, Gilmore's character, Henry Mills, will be played by Andrew J. West, who along with newcomer Alison Fernandez, became series regulars starting with this episode. Mader would end up with the most season 7 appearances among all departing regulars.
Sean Maguire does not appear in the episode, but is credited, as he lends his voice for a few seconds in a scene with the Evil Queen.
This also marks the series' final Sunday night airing after six seasons, as ABC announced on May 16, 2017 that Once Upon a Time would move to Friday nights starting in the Fall of 2017.[1]
Notes[edit]
Even though the title card stated "The Enchanted Forest" during the future events involving adult Henry and his daughter Lucy, it’s actually the New Enchanted Forest.[2][3]
Reception[edit]
Ratings[edit]
Despite a 25% drop from the fifth season's finale, the episode saw an increase from the previous outing, scoring a 0.9/4 among 18-49s with 2.93 million viewers tuning in.[4]

Christine Laskodi of TV Fantic gave the episode full marks: 5.0 out of 5.0[5]

Regular cast[edit]
The following actors are considered to be the core members of the Carry On team:[1]
Kenneth Williams (1926-1988) (25 films, and co-presenting That's Carry On!) played a range of character types, nearly always a lead character. Early roles were rather strait-laced; he then sometimes played his snide character: quite slimy and smarmy with a distinctive nasal voice. Later the haughty, proud and easily outraged elitist became more frequent and Williams' best known character type. Williams sometimes played characters of other nationalities, such as in Up the Khyber. In some roles, when not actually playing his role in snide mode, Williams might deliver a single joke using his snide voice. A running gag in many of the films was that Williams' character would be embroiled in an extra-marital affair with that of Hattie Jacques—this plot device was used to greatest effect in the hospital-based films, which gave rise to Williams' famous catchphrase "ohhh Matron!".
Joan Sims (1930-2001) (24) had the longest uninterrupted run of roles in Carry On films, being in all 20 films (excluding That's Carry On) from Carry On Cleo to Carry On Emmannuelle. She played a range of characters from jolly and assertive young women with sturdy moral standards (Camping, Loving) to sexy and lusty matrons – either desired (At Your Convenience) or coarse and unattractive (Henry, Up the Khyber), to a chatty glutton (in Matron), a battleaxe wife (Screaming) and an unattractive spinster (Doctor). She also appeared in two of the four Carry On Christmas TV specials, and eleven episodes of the Carry On Laughing television series.
Charles Hawtrey (1914-1988) (23) often played a meek, rather effete 'mummy's boy' who could suddenly erupt into riotous behaviour. Other roles were as a strict, officious and prissy person in an authority role. Hawtrey's characters were often bumbling and accident prone, and the victim of various mishaps and complex misunderstandings. He also appeared in two of the four Carry On Christmas TV specials.
Sid James (1913-1976) (19) always played a lead character, usually a laconic member of the working class. His characters were often lecherous womanisers, something that caused problems in James' private life. He also appeared in three of the four Carry On Christmas television specials, and four episodes of the Carry On Laughing television series.
Kenneth Connor (1918-1993) (17) often played put-upon men ranging in character from pompous to meek, and often leering. He also provided some additional voice-work in Emmannuelle when he dubbed the dialogue of Howard Nelson (Harry Hernia). He also appeared in three of the four Carry On Christmas television specials, and twelve episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Peter Butterworth (1919-1979) (16) frequently played major roles in the films, often as a generally benign, unflappable but bumbling assistant or servant unable to see the chaos around him. Unusually for a regular, in some films, including Again Doctor, Henry and Loving, his role consists of a cameo appearance in a single scene. He also appeared in three of the four Carry On Christmas TV specials, and nine episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Hattie Jacques (1922-1980) (14) played the haughty matron, school senior mistress or other archetypal authority figure in several films. Later she branched out into more varied comic roles (e.g. At Your Convenience, Loving and Abroad, in which she played a chef embroiled in a constant battle with the stove). She also appeared in two of the four Carry On Christmas TV specials, and one episode of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Bernard Bresslaw (1934-1993) (14) varied between playing the clumsy dimwit or the heavy, or the lusty and bombastic "foreigner". In the later films his characterisation developed greater depth, such as in Dick, Behind. He also appeared in three of the four Carry On Christmas TV specials, and five episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Jim Dale (1935-) (11) joined the series with support roles, but quickly progressed to playing the younger, sympathetic male lead, often in the film's romance plot strand. From his debut had an uninterrupted nine-film run. After a two-film absence (Camping and Up The Khyber) returned for Again Doctor, his final Carry On until taking the lead role in the 1992 revival film Carry On Columbus.
Barbara Windsor (1937-) (10, including co-presenting That's Carry On with Williams) played main roles in all her Carry On appearances. Her characters were always the cheeky and saucy young blonde, often in revealing costumes. Sometimes her characters were chaste (and very often chased), some were easily swayed. She also appeared in all four of the Carry On Christmas TV specials, and eight episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Patsy Rowlands (1931-2005) (9) started in support roles, often as undervalued, meek and mousey secretary or assistant who undergoes transformation into a more assertive and sexually aware woman. She also appeared in one episode of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Jack Douglas (1927-2008) (8) joined the series with a cameo appearance in Matron, where he appears in one scene with a single line of dialogue. After an only slightly larger role in the following film Abroad, where he again plays his established Alf Ippititimus-type character, his roles increased in size and increasingly diverged from the familiar Alf performance. After his début Douglas appeared in all subsequent films in the original series, and was one of the few returners for Columbus. He also appeared in two of the four Carry On Christmas TV specials, and twelve episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Terry Scott (1927-1994) (7) appeared briefly in the first film Sergeant and returned 10 years later when he played, among others, the put-upon husband (Camping), the barking sergeant (Up the Khyber) and lusty doctor (Matron). Additionally, he appeared in two of the four Carry On Christmas TV specials. He also filmed a scene for At Your Convenience as union big-wig Mr Allcock, which was not used in the finished film.[2]
Leslie Phillips (1924-) (4) appeared in three early films – Nurse, Teacher and Constable – after which he left the series only to return 32 years later for Columbus as the King of Spain.

Recurring cast members[edit]
This section looks at actors who starred or had at least one significant supporting role in at least one Carry On film plus at least one other supporting role, and those actors who appeared in at least four or more films in small or supporting roles.
Michael Nightingale (1922-1999) (13 films) made more Carry On appearances than any other member of the supporting cast. Out of these 13, four were uncredited appearances (Regardless, Don't Lose Your Head, Follow That Camel, and Girls). His nine credited appearances were in Cabby, Jack, Cleo, Cowboy, Camping, Matron, Dick, England, and Emmanuelle. He also appeared in two episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Peter Gilmore (1931-2013) (11) usually had supporting roles. He occasionally played the villain, (Cabby, Jack, Don't Lose Your Head). He returned for Columbus.
Marianne Stone (1922-2009) (9) played a range of minor and supporting roles across almost the entire run of the series (from Nurse to Behind). In addition to those 9 roles, her character in Matron was cut from the finished film, although she remained credited in the opening titles, whilst she provided uncredited voice-work in Constable when she dubbed actress Lucy Griffiths' dialogue. She also appeared in one episode of the Carry on Laughing TV series.
Billy Cornelius (1934-) (8) was a regular stuntman and small-part actor during much of the series. His most famous role was probably one of the monsters, Oddbod Jr., in Screaming. Other credited roles are in Again Doctor, Henry, and Dick. Additional uncredited roles are in Cowboy and Don't Lose Your Head. He also appeared in the 1970 Carry On Stuffing Christmas TV special, and three episodes on the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Frank Forsyth (1905-1984) (8) was a regular small-part player. Although he was uncredited for his brief appearance in Again Doctor, his remaining roles gained him on-screen credits (Sergeant, Nurse, Constable, Cabby, Jack, Spying, and Screaming).
Julian Holloway (1944-) (8) played several supporting roles, including one lead role (which was heavily cut during editing) in Camping. His role in At Your Convenience (which is included in his tally of 8) was an uncredited appearance. He also appeared in the 1973 Carry On Christmas TV special.
Cyril Chamberlain (1909-1974) (7) was a regular actor in the early days of the series. He played small cameo roles in Sergeant and Regardless, but his roles in Nurse, Teacher, Constable, Cruising, and Cabby saw him getting more screen time in effective supporting roles.
Hugh Futcher (1937-) (7) played mostly small roles in Spying, At Your Convenience and Behind. He also had uncredited roles in Don't Lose Your Head, Again Doctor, and Girls.
Gertan Klauber (1932-2008) (7) was frequently cast when the producers wanted someone big and sinister, or big and jovial. His most memorable role was in Cleo where he played Marcus to Warren Mitchell's Spencius. He had other roles in Spying, Doctor, Henry, Abroad, and Emmannuelle. He also appeared uncredited in Follow That Camel.
Anthony Sagar (1920-1973) (7) had several minor roles from Sergeant to Loving, his role in Constable being uncredited. Additionally, he appeared in Henry but the scene (which also featured a young David Essex) was cut.
Sally Douglas (1941-2001) (6) was a regular face to cinema and TV audience during the 1960s and early 1970s, frequently uncredited. She is credited for her appearances in Cowboy and Screaming (in which she has less than five minutes of screen time and is unconscious, having neither dialogue nor action), whilst her work on Jack, Spying, and Cleo went uncredited.
Lucy Griffiths (1919-1982) (6) seemed to be perpetually elderly in most of her roles. She was credited with roles in Nurse, Constable (in which her voice was dubbed by Marianne Stone), Doctor, and Again Doctor. She appeared uncredited in Regardless and Behind, while her scene was cut out of Loving before release.
Valerie Leon (1943-) (6) initially played an uncredited role in Up the Khyber, before making brief, but credited, decorative appearances such as a shop girl (Camping) or a hospital patient (Matron). Other, larger roles included an Amazonian queen in Carry On Up the Jungle and a prim repressed woman turned beauty pageant contestant in Girls. She also appeared in the 1972 Carry On Christmas TV special. Her character in Girls was dubbed by June Whitfield. The role of Moira in Abroad was written with her in mind.[citation needed]
Margaret Nolan (1943-) (6) usually played supporting roles, most notably Dawn Brakes in Girls.
Derek Francis (1923-1984) (6) played a wide range of supporting characters, from country yokels (Camping) to authority figures (Doctor)
Brian Osborne (1940-) (6) appeared in almost all of the later films in support roles (from Matron to England). Additionally, Osborne appeared in 7 episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Ian Wilson (1901-1987) (6) was a diminutive actor who appeared in Cabby, plus memorable small roles in Jack (alongside Jim Dale), and the messenger in Cleo who has "come hotfoot from Rome". He also appeared, uncredited, in Constable, Regardless, and Cruising.
Amelia Bayntun (1919-1988) (5) was frequently cast in small roles (almost a bit part in Convenience), notably as Joan Sims' busybody mother in Camping
Tom Clegg (1915-1996) (5), usually in minor roles as 'heavies', but played a major role in Screaming as the Frankenstein's Monster parody, Oddbod.
Ed Devereaux (1925-2003) (5) was an Australian-born actor who appeared in Sergeant, Nurse, Regardless, and Cruising.

Bill Maynard (1928-2018) (5) played support roles in some early 1970s films: including Joan Sims' character's obtuse husband in At Your Convenience, a dim stooge in Matron, and a jovial inn keeper in Dick. Additionally, he filmed a scene as Kenneth Williams' boss for Abroad, but this was not included in the finished film. He was also offered the role eventually played by David Lodge in Girls, but had to turn it down due to other commitments.
Victor Maddern (1928-2003) (5) played supporting roles in some of the 1960s films: including Milchmann, the milkman spy in Spying; also appeared in Emmannuelle (1978). He also appeared in three episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.

Patricia Franklin (1942-) (5) appeared in Girls, Camping, Loving, Behind and England.
Michael Ward (1909-1997) (5) brought a superb effete touch to Regardless, Cabby, Cleo, Screaming, and Don't Lose Your Head.
Eric Barker (1912-1990) (4), generally as authority figures in the early films, such as the M-like character in Spying. He also returned in Emmannuelle, the final film of the original run. He is also credited with submitting the original story idea on which Carry On Cruising is based.

Bluthal was famous at the time for his role of tailor Manny Cohen in the TV sitcom Never Mind The Quality, Feel The Width.
Kenneth Cope (3) had major roles in both At Your Convenience, where he played a troublemaking shop steward and a rival for the romantic lead; in Matron he played a more sympathetic role, as a crook's son forced to go undercover as a nurse to case a hospital.

Other actors in supporting and minor roles[edit]
(In alphabetical order)
Vincent Ball (2) had supporting roles in Cruising and Follow that Camel
Bruce Boa (1) Emmannuelle.
Martin Boddey (2) appears in avuncular mode in Sergeant and Nurse.
Johnny Briggs (3) had small, unaccredited roles in Up The Khyber and Behind (in which the role of his Plasterer mostly hit the cutting room floor). He had a larger role as Melly's Driver in England. He also appeared in one episode of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Ronnie Brody (2) made his first unaccredited appearance in Don't Lose Your Head, followed up by the small role of Henry in Loving. Brody also appeared in 2 episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Ray Brooks (1) had a sizeable supporting role in Abroad.
Jeremy Bulloch (1) made an unaccredited appearance as a schoolboy in Teacher.
Gerald Campion (1) had a sizeable supporting role in Sergeant.
Brian Capron (0), the future Coronation Street baddie does not appear in any Carry On films. He does, however, feature in two episodes of the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Patrick Cargill (2) appeared in Regardless and Jack. Carry On Nurse is based in part on the stage play Ring For Catty which he co-wrote with Jack Beale. Three years later Peter Rogers used the same play as the basis for his film Twice Round The Daffodils.
John Carlin (2) made just two small appearances in the film series (in England and Emmannuelle). However, before these roles he had been seen as a semi-regular performer (frequently 'camping it up') in the Carry On Laughing TV series, notching up six episodes.
Norman Chappell (2) made his Carry On debut in Cabby in a role originally offered to Kenneth Williams. When Williams refused it, the part of the Shop Steward was decreased and offered to Chappell. His other appearance was in Henry. He was also to appear in Loving, but his part was edited out of the film before release. He was more of a regular performer in the Carry On Laughing TV series where he made 7 appearances.
Peggy Ann Clifford (1) was Tony Hancock's regular, female, television sparring partner, and makes an unaccredited guest appearance in Cleo.
David Davenport (3) was a former ballet dancer whose major Carry On contribution was in the significant supporting role of Bilius the bodyguard in Cleo. He also appeared in Don't Lose Your Head and Henry.
Francis de Wolff (1) put in a supporting role in Cleo.
Noel Dyson (2) was everyone's favourite nanny in Father, Dear Father, and a founder cast member in Coronation Street. She appeared in Constable and Cabby.
E. V. H. Emmett (1) brought his newsreading authority to the narrator of Cleo. Although several other films in the series used a narrator, none used them as effectively as Cleo where the conceit runs throughout the film. Emmett was the only person to get credited for narrating a Carry On film. He had previously been a Gaumont British News newsreader and commentator, and also provided narration for the first series of Dad's Army.
Hilda Fenemore (2) had a main part in Nurse as a snob's loud-mouthed wife, and had a cameo appearance in Constable as a woman who wanted to use the public convenience. She is best remembered as Ivy, the cleaner in Are You Being Served?.
Charles Fleischer (1) Columbus.
Joanna Ford (2) added some unaccredited sex-appeal to Cabby and Cleo.
Gloria Best (3) added some unaccredited glamour to Spying, Cleo and Cowboy.
Judith Furse (3) brought her personality to Regardless, Cabby, and, most memorably, as Dr Crow in Spying, the film's take on the traditional Bond villain. For the latter role her voice was redubbed by John Bluthal in order to give the character a more asexual sound.
Fred Griffiths (3) appears as an ambulance man in Nurse, and as a taxi driver in Regardless and Loving.
Sheila Hancock (1) lends her comic support to Cleo as Hengist Pod's wife Senna.
Irene Handl (2) appeared in Nurse and Constable.
Sherrie Hewson (1) appeared in the large supporting role of Carol in Behind. However, she also made 4 appearances in the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Linda Hooks (3) the former Miss Great Britain had small glamorous roles in 3 later films, plus two appearances in episodes on the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Laraine Humphrys (2) brought glamour to Girls and Dick. Laraine also appeared in the 1975 Carry On Christmas TV special.
Wilfrid Hyde-White (1) has a significant guest role in Nurse.
Vivienne Johnson (1) is only credited with appearing in England. However, the previous year had seen her make three significant appearances in the Carry On Laughing TV series.
Elizabeth Knight (2) makes eye-catching appearances in Camping (as Jane), and Again Doctor (as Nurse Willing).
Ian Lavender (1) has a large supporting role in Behind.
George Layton (1) was probably best known at the time for playing Dr Paul Collier in the Doctor... TV series. In Behind he makes a 'gag' appearance as a Doctor. He also co-wrote an unused script for a potential Carry On film in the 1980s.
Tutte Lemkow (1) brought his distinctive face to British film and television productions for 40 years. Sadly, his only Carry On contribution was as an unaccredited walk-on in Spying.
John Levene (0) made an unaccredited 'gag' appearance in one of the Carry On Laughing TV episodes. Best known for playing UNIT soldier Corporal Benton in Doctor Who, he appears briefly as a mediaeval soldier in the episode The Baron Outlook. He did not appear in any of the films.
Harry Locke (3) was a well-used supporting artist within the British film industry. His 3 Carry On appearances are all in medical comedies: Nurse, Doctor, and Again Doctor.
Reuben Martin (2) played gorillas in both Up The Jungle and Emmannuelle (the latter unaccredited). He also donned his gorilla suit for an episode of the TV Carry On Laughing series.
Derek Martinus (1) appeared in just one of the series, Sergeant. He went on to become a TV director of note, directing (amongst other things) 9 episodes of William Hartnell era Doctor Who, 17 further episodes of Doctor Who, and 2 episodes of Blake's 7.
Larry Martyn (2) had small roles in Convenience and Behind.
Rik Mayall (1) Columbus.
William Mervyn (3) has cameo roles in Follow That Camel, Again Doctor, and Henry.
Olive Milbourne (1) later found fame as Terry's mum in The Likely Lads (on both TV and radio), and its sequel Whatever Happened To The Likely Lads, but an early unaccredited appearance was as a sexy GlamCab driver in Cabby.
Larry Miller (1) Columbus.
Warren Mitchell (1) made an entertaining, single appearance in Cleo. He went on to create the role of Alf Garnett for writer Johnny Speight.
Trisha Noble (1) had a large supporting role in Camping, but her role was decreased during editing.
Cecil Parker (1) makes a guest appearance topping-and-tailing Jack.
Daniel Peacock (1) Columbus.
Ambrosine Phillpotts (2) brings an aristocratic air to Regardless and Cabby.
Eric Pohlmann (2) brings something sinister to Regardless, and shines in the supporting role of a foreign spy in Spying.
Brian Rawlinson (3) appeared in Cruising, Cleo and Cowboy.
Linda Regan (1) appears as one of the ATS girls in England. Six years earlier she had also appeared uncredited in the 1970 Carry On Again Christmas TV special.
Beryl Reid (1) made a guest appearance in Emmannuelle.
Wendy Richard (2) made her Carry On film debut in Matron, following it up with a larger supporting role in Girls. However, two years earlier she had also appeared in the 1970 Carry On Christmas TV special.
Anton Rodgers (2) appeared in Cruising and Jack.
Carole Shelley (2) brought 'ditzy' glamour to Regardless and Cabby.
Vicki Smith (3) added unaccredited sex-appeal to Spying, Cleo, and Cowboy.
Yutte Stensgaard (1) made an unaccredited appearance in Again Doctor as a nurse. She also filmed a scene for Loving alongside Dad's Army star James Beck, but their scene was removed from the film before release.
Jimmy Thompson (3) appeared in Regardless and Jack, with a large supporting role in Cruising in the middle.
Bob Todd (1) makes an unaccredited 'gag' appearance in Again Doctor. He also appeared in the 1970 Carry On Again Christmas TV special.
Nikki van der Zyl (2) was one of British cinema's most prolific voice-over artistes, dubbing many of the original Bond girls (including Shirley Eaton in Goldfinger). She appears unaccredited in two of the films, none of them dubbing work. In Cleo she doubles for Amanda Barrie when Cleo is rolled out of her carpet, whilst in Don't Lose Your Head she provides stunt work and appears as the messenger who brings a letter to Charles Hawtrey at the start of the film when he is about to be executed.
Wanda Ventham (2) has an unaccredited cameo in Cleo, and a slightly larger role as the Khasi's first wife in Up The Khyber.
Kenneth Waller (1) stepped into the role of the Barman in Behind at the last minute replacing the now unavailable Chris Gannon.
