Television Censored Scene


For anyone who has seen this on British television and like myself is wondering what Susan's "bath" reference in a conversation with Cyril was, she is referring to an event that (at the time of writing) is not shown. After Matron overhears a conversation between Sid and Cyril, Cyril opens up his uniform and lets her into the room. Sid escapes via the window and (this is where the cut begins) ends up in the bathroom of a nurse, who shocked, stands up naked in the bath, although only seen from the rear. Next, a chasing Matron enters the bathroom and again, we see the nurse's behind. Finally, Cyril enters but upon leaving slips on a soap and falls into the bath on top of the nurse, this time there are brief glimpses of her nipples as he struggles to exit the bath.
In keeping with the Carry On style, it is all very innocent but because these films are typically screened during the day in Britain, is unlikely to be seen on television here again, but the complete film is available on YouTube.

Depends on the time of day they show it. But, is this the only Carry on film, set in a hospital, that has a "nurse in bath" skit?

Interestingly you can see most of the scene in question here http://youtu.be/VhmRlj2QvmI from a 1988 tv trailer, suggesting that it wasn't always cut out for tv albeit in an evening showing. Mind you looking at the times on the menu in that clip the film aired in a 90 minute slot, so I'm guessing that there were some cuts if only for timing reasons given that IMDB has the film's length at 87 minutes.

Tv used to be more relaxed about nudity,i remember a scene in the woman in red in the 1990s with a brief full frontal of kelly lebrock that was shown before the 9pm watershed
