1'''Peter Rogers''' (20 February 1914 – 14 April 2009) and '''Gerald Thomas''' (10 December 1920 – 9 November 1993) are a British producer and director/editor respectively, that made several film collaborations, most notably being the two men behind the popular ''Film/CarryOn'' series, along with screenwriter Creator/TalbotRothwell.
2
3Contrary to their fame, one of their first collaborations was a 1957 thriller Rogers co-wrote with Creator/ArthurHailey called ''Time Lock'' which starred Robert Beatty and Lee Patterson, with an early RetroactiveRecognition appearance from a young Creator/SeanConnery. Rogers and Thomas mostly produced and directed comedies alongside the ''Carry On'' movies, and often did through a ProductionPosse, using many actors from said ''Carry On'' films.
4
5Outside of their collaborations, they did a lot of individual works too: before becoming a director, Thomas worked as a film editor; his most notable editing job was of Creator/LaurenceOlivier's ''Film/{{Hamlet|1948}}'' 1948 adaptation; one of the last films he directed was a post-WorldWarTwo drama ''The Second Victory'' in 1986. Rogers, meanwhile, produced a variety of film and television work, such as the film ''Film/AppointmentWithVenus'' that starred Creator/DavidNiven, and the TV series ''Series/{{Ivanhoe}}'' that starred Creator/RogerMoore, and his long-term wife Betty produced the ''Film/DoctorSeries''.
