- Leslie Phillips, Carry On Columbus,1992. The 31st t and final Carry On tried various duos for the King and Queen of Spain. From Frankie Howerd-Joan Sims and Bernard Bresslaw-Barbara Windsor to the almost incestuous notion of the Terry and June sitcom “sibliings,” Terry Scott-June Whitfield. And, finally, June and Leslie Phillips (the most English of Spanish monarchs). Howerd died before filming began and Windsor - the Carry Ons’ Marilyn - said the script was crap. It was - all the cast hated it. In 2004, this was was voted - by UK film pros - as the worst British film ever made. Yet it made more money in Britain than the straight versions: 1492: The Conquest iof Paradiseand Christopher Columbus: The Discovery, 1992, starring such heavyweights as Depardieu and Brando!
