I remember coming to work one morning, I was managing a store in St James's Street at the time. I walked down from the station as I had to commute in daily. I wondered why there was a long queue of mainly young people along the Steine. I was surprised that it was an extremely long queue and went around a very long block passing my store and nearby Woolworths. That was the queue with young people applying at the Job Centre to work as extras on Quadrophenia.

Nice video and good to see the locations of the three films. Like you, I am an avid fan of the Carry On films. They are full of comedy gems. One of my favorite nonverbal comedy moment in carry on girls is when the two police officers enter the room to check to see if Valerie Leon is a “man”. The smile and the licking of the lip by constable Cookson (the bobby behind David Lodge the Inspector) when Valerie reveals her beauty is priceless. - Happy days.

Nice one fella and just subscribed. I do love the filming floors in Quadrophenia especially in your clip 4m 08s when Brighton Marina is seen in the background ( finished in the mid to late 70's) of the group of Mods, it doesn't bother me though as it's an epic film. 👍

Nobody's ever heard of the Carry On films in USA here. I only heard vaguely of them a year or two ago from YTube. I don't even think they're in print on DVD in America as yet. Not sure. Libraries don't have them here. Not sure why. Also I saw some of the early Peter Sellers films a few years ago on Cable TV here, but some I still cannot find, such as I'm Alright, Jack.

@@flydriveexplore I see, that's what I had figured since there's so little profile on those films here. Then again I was a baby when most of them came out, or not around at all. I don't think they would have gone over that well here. They should have gotten Benny HIll to be in a few of those, unless he was? That would have been a riot.
