* {{Cloudcuckoolander}}: Dr. Ernest Stoppidge, as ever for [[Creator/CharlesHawtrey Charles Hawtrey's]] characters in ''Film/CarryOn'' films. It doesn't occur to him that there's anything untoward about telling Miss Armitage (a paranoid female patient who is out of her bed) that he just wants to get her into bed, while when he goes undercover in drag at the slimming clinic as Lady Puddleton, he keeps forgetting that he has a female cover identity and says he'll only share a room if it's with another man, and that he and Dr. Carver roomed together as medical students.

* ReallyGetsAround: Gladstone starts off with five wives, then marries Miss Fosdick as his sixth, and once at the Moore-Nookey Clinic he chases after Matron, Lady Puddleton and several other women.
* SexySecretary: When Dr. Nookey opens a private practice on Harley Street on his return to England, his secretary, Deirdre (played by series semi-regular Valerie Leon), dresses provocatively and flirts aggressively with him; only his still-lit torch for Goldie keeps him from responding to her advances, appealing as he seems to find the idea.

He says they're both wrong. He thought he was going to break wind... [[PottyFailure and apparently he was wrong as well]]. He proceeds to shuffle uncomfortably to the gents' toilets.

''Carry On Again Doctor'' is a 1969 film and the eighteenth ''Film/CarryOn'' film starring regulars Creator/SidJames, Creator/KennethWilliams, Creator/CharlesHawtrey, Creator/JimDale, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/BarbaraWindsor, and Creator/HattieJacques. This was mostly criticized as a weaker rip-off of ''Film/CarryOnDoctor'', and many claim that this was its sequel, despite none of the characters from the "original" appearing once, and the actors that ''were'' in the original were playing completely different characters. (Well, apart from Jacques playing "Matron", [[TypeCasting again]]).

Dr. Jimmy Nookey (Dale) is the scourge of Long Hampton Hospital, somehow finding himself in one embarrassing situation after another, to the anger of senior doctors Frederick Carver (Williams) and Ernest Stoppidge (Hawtrey). After a series of incidents culminating in getting drunk at a hospital dance and making a disastrous attempt at courting model Goldie Locks (Windsor), Dr. Nookey is sent by Dr. Carver to a medical mission on the inhospitable Beatific Islands, where he learns of a native slimming potion created by the mission's medical orderly, the womanizing Gladstone Screwer (James).

He flies back to England to cash in on the potion with investment from the medical mission's founder, wealthy widow Ellen Moore (Sims), and he soon finds success running a lavish slimming clinic, even luring away Miss Soaper (Jacques), the head Matron from his former employer. However, Dr. Carver, outraged that his dream of a private clinic funded by Mrs. Moore has been hijacked by Dr. Nookey, shows up seeking a cut of the profits, as does Gladstone when he learns that his invention is making Dr. Nookey a very rich man.
