3. Carry On

Episode 3 of 5

Reading her own life story, the famous actress recalls the highs and lows of working with Peter Sellers and Kenneth Williams.

Legendary screen, stage and radio actress, June Whitfield, continues the story of her life.

June performs on nerve wracking live TV with Arthur Askey. And she's cast alongside Leslie Phillips in the second carry on film - Carry On Nurse - which went on to become the most popular British film of 1959.

June admits that in her day, actresses only wanted to be leading heroines or helpless victims, but she didn't mind being a bit silly or looking foolish.

Abridged by Sally Marmion

Producer: Sarah Johnson
