This is part of a new series of blogs looking back at the stars of the original Carry On film, Carry On Sergeant. 2018 marks 60 years since Sergeant was made and released so what better time to turn the focus on all those brilliant actors who brought our favourite series of comedy films to life? 

I'm continuing today with an actor who appeared in countless post-war films before finding lasting fame in a BBC sitcom, Bill Owen.

Other Carry On roles: Bill returned for the next film in the series, playing hospital patient Percy Hickson in Carry On Nurse. Owen made two further smaller appearances in the series, first of all as Helping Hands employee Mike Weston in Carry On Regardless in 1961 and as grumpy cab driver Smiley Sims in Carry On Cabby two years later.
