History Film / CarryOnHenry

** Julian Holloway and David Davenport's character's names are only given outside of the film (Sir Thomas and Major Domo).

* FryingPanOfDoom: Marie uses [[VisualPun the bedpan]] to smack Lord Hampton and his gang away after they came to arrest Henry.

* VisualPun: Queen Marie uses a bedpan as a FryingPanOfDoom to attack Lord Hampton.

* UncertainDoom: We don't find out if Sir Roger died after signing his last confession due to his state after beinf in the IronMaiden.

** We don't get to know Lord Hampton, Bettina or Charles' last names.
** The same can be said for Duc de Poncenay, Fawkes, Mistress Scrub, Dr. Finlay and Bidet's first names.

* BasedOnAGreatBigLie: In the opening credits, between the title and the cast list, there is an expository crawl claiming that a manuscript has recently been discovered by one William Cobbler claiming that Henry VIII had two more wives for a total of eight. The document was thought to be the work of Cromwell, but they now know that the story is entirely [[{{Pun}} Cobbler's]] from beginning to end.

* ActionGirl: Queen Marie takes on Lord Hampton and the plotters against King Henry, while armed with only a bedpan, '''and wins'''!

* ACupAngst: A DeletedScene revealed the reason why King Henry had left his second wife:
-->'''King Henry''': Who's that one over there with the big... ({{Beat}}) Very nice. Who is she?
-->'''Cromwell''': That, sire, was your second wife.
-->'''King Henry''': Get away! What was wrong with her then?
-->'''Cromwell''': They turned out to be false, sire.
-->'''King Henry''': Oh yes, that's right. I remember now. I fell over them getting into bed. She should've hung them up. I can't stand untidiness.

Creator/SidJames stars as the famous English King UsefulNotes/HenryVIII, who's a womanizing sex-pest DirtyOldMan that has just gotten rid of his fourth wife (Creator/PatsyRowlands) for not putting out. Minutes after her execution, he marries again to Marie of Normandy (Sims), who he later regrets the decision after trying to have sex and being repulsed by her breath smelling of garlic. He issues a demand that the marriage be annulled to Thomas Cromwell (Williams) and Cardinal Wolsey (Scott) who are against it, but follow through.

The King, meanwhile, has set his sights on marrying Bettina of Bristol (Windsor), but whether or not such a marriage would be bigamous seems to be constantly changing. Sir Roger de Lodgerley (Hawtrey) is constantly accused of high treason for anything to the King's fancy and is sentenced to ludicrous punishments, while the underground extremist group led by Lord Hampton of Wick (Connor) try to bring the Tudor dynasty to an end.

* MeaningfulName: The film is said to come from a recently discovered manuscript by William '''Cobbler'''. "Cobblers" is British slang for "rubbish" or "nonsense", perfectly fitting a farcical ''Film/CarryOn'' film.

** Duc de '''Ponce'''nay, which fits such a campy character.

* StripPoker: A DeletedScene saw a lengthy game of strip croquet played in the castle gardens by King Henry, Queen Marie, Bettina and Sir Thomas.

* YouNeedABreathMint: Queen Marie has terrible breath thanks to her liking to garlic before sex, which unfortunately is a massive turn off for King Henry..

->'''Cromwell''': [[TakeThat Wars have been fought over less, Sire.]]

-->'''Cardinal Wolsey''': "An old" what, Sire?

* MotorMouth: Cromwell when reading the confession to Sir Roger.

* IncrediblyLamePun: Cromwell makes one when Queen Marie tries to argue how cruel he was to the Catholics that were burnt at the stake.
-->'''Cromwell''': Didn't I go 'round every one of them and say "How d'you like yer stake"?

* NiceHat:
** Everyone, but mostly the male cast.
** Cardinal Wolsey has two: a ceremonial one and a traveling one.

-->'''Cromwell''': Oh, I'll read it to you. It's just a simple little confession... "''In as much as I, Roger de Lodgerley, of Bedside Manor, Wilts - hereinafter referred to as the party of the first part - did unlawfully, with malice aforethought and without taking due precaution, on the night of October 4th last, admire, covet, blandish, cosset, seduce,'' and otherwise, "get at" ''Marie, spouse to Henry Tudor - hereinafter referred to as the party of the second part - I do now hereby solemnly declare, and in witness thereof I append my signature below, that the resulting issue - hereinafter referred to as the party of the third part - is the direct consequence of the joining together of the part of the first part's and the party of the second part's parts''".

* SerialSpouse: King Henry, his wives include the Queen played by Creator/PatsyRowlands who gets beheaded at the start of the film, the garlic-loving Queen Marie, and briefly Bettina of Bristol. Not to mentions he tells Marie about at least four previous wives when trying to stall for time in bed.

* StripPoker: A DeletedScene saw a lengthy game of Strip Croquet played in the castle gardens by King Henry, Queen Marie, Bettina and Sir Thomas.

** Lord '''Hampton of Wick''', a joke on the fact that "Hampton Wick" is UsefulNotes/CockneyRhymingSlang for dick. He later gets knighted and becomes known as Hampton, Prince of '''Berks''', with "berk being rhyming slang for, [[CountryMatters well...]]

-->'''Henry VIII''': Oh, call me 'enry.
-->'''Buxom Lass''': "'enry", eh? Same as that miserable sot who rules us.

* ShoutOut: King Henry's physician's name is Dr. Finlay, the same name as a fictional doctor in stories written by Scottish author A. J. Cronin. For bonus points, Cromwell picks up a Scottish accent when saying his name.

''Carry On Henry'' is a 1971 film and the twenty-first ''Film/CarryOn'' film, as well as another that is an AffectionateParody of a movie/theater piece that itself is based on historical events, much like ''Film/CarryOnCleo''. It stars regulars Creator/SidJames, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/TerryScott, Creator/BarbaraWindsor, and Creator/KennethConnor who each take on historical icons in the time of [[UsefulNotes/TheHouseOfTudor the Tudor period]] in a ''Film/CarryOn'' parody of ''Theatre/AnneOfTheThousandDays''.

** To be fair to Henry, Sir Roger and Queen Marie deserved it as their affair was high treason. Henry is also punished by knowing a child not of his blood will follow him on the throne (purity of royal blood was SeriousBusiness to 16th century royalty).
