Synopsis

Spoiler shield

The second of the four Carry On Christmas specials, this one loosely recounts the story of Treasure Island with Sid James as Long John Silver and Barbara Windsor, strangely, as Jim Hawkins. This special was filmed in black and white due to a technicians strike in the UK at the time of filming.

“Some stories are better left unspoiled.”
