** ''Script/CarryOnAgainNurse'' was attempted to be brought back a couple of times -- the first attempt became ''Film/CarryOnDoctor''. The second attempt came in 1979, after the series left Rank Films and moved to Hemdale. A completed script had been written by George Layton and Jonathan Lynn in 1977. It was cancelled due to the financial loss of ''Film/CarryOnEmmannuelle''. The third and final attempt came in 1988, with a script written by Norman Hudis. It was to revolve around a hospital set for closure, and set to star original actors Creator/BarbaraWindsor, Creator/JackDouglas, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/KennethConnor and Creator/JoanSims, with Sims filling in the role of matron that was previously held by Creator/HattieJacques. The end of the film was going to be a tribute to Jacques, with Sims turning around a photograph of the actress and asking "Well, did I do alright?" Production was scheduled to begin in June 1988, but the deaths of Williams and Hawtrey, combined with a budget of £1.5 million which was deemed too expensive, proved to be the end of the film and it was cancelled.
