Unlike the film series, the UniversalAdaptorCast trope was used but on a much smaller scale. These specials were notable for the absence of Creator/KennethWilliams, who appeared in the most movies (26 out of 31) in the franchise. The actor that appeared in these TV shows the most Creator/BarbaraWindsor, who appeared in every episode. The rest of the recurring actors from the movies included Creator/SidJames, Creator/PeterButterworth, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/KennethConnor, Creator/TerryScott, Creator/BernardBresslaw, Jack Douglas, Creator/CharlesHawtrey and Creator/HattieJacques. The production team was also changed as well: although film producer and director Creator/PeterRogers and Creator/GeraldThomas, and scriptwriter Creator/TalbotRothwell were about during the specials' production, distributor Creator/ThamesTelevision used a handful of their staff to take over for TV, crediting the three original men in some specials as "comedy consultants".

With the success of the ''Film/CarryOn'' movie series and its ongoing laughing audiences, it was unsurprising that the franchise branched out to television as well. Before the series ''Carry On Laughing!'' in 1975, there were four seasonal specials collectively called '''''Carry On Christmas''''', which had the same atmosphere and motifs of the popular movies.
Unlike the film series, the UniversalAdaptorCast trope was used but on a much smaller scale. These specials were notable for the absence of Creator/KennethWilliams, who appeared in the most movies (26 out of 31) in the franchise. The actor that appeared in these TV shows the most Creator/BarbaraWindsor, who appeared in every episode. The rest of the recurring actors from the movies included Creator/SidJames, Creator/PeterButterworth, Creator/JoanSims, Creator/KennethConnor, Creator/TerryScott, Creator/BernardBresslaw, Jack Douglas, Creator/CharlesHawtrey and Creator/HattieJacques. The production team was also changed as well: although film producer and director Peter Rogers and Gerald Thomas, and scriptwriter Talbot Rothwell were about during the specials' production, distributor Creator/ThamesTelevision used a handful of their staff to take over for TV, crediting the three original men in some specials as "comedy consultants".
The four specials ranged from a series from Christmas-based sketches to WholePlotReference and AffectionateParody. Many are divided over which special is the best, with critics claiming that the first and the last were the best in the series, which were both written by Talbot Rothwell. Despite this, it is a victim of FanonDiscontinuity with many, along with ''Carry On Laughing!''.
