Cor, Blimey! Plot Summary

What happens in Cor, Blimey! from start to finish, spoilers included, with a timeline of 12 key events. The opening is below; the full summary is a 2-minute read.

Spoilers ahead

Cor, Blimey! opens with the arrival of Sid James’s new wardrobe assistant on the set of Carry On Cleo, on Pinewood Studios in 1963. The on‑set atmosphere is playful yet competitive, with Sid James depicted as a gambling, womanising figure whose antipathy toward his professional rival sits just beneath the surface. The clash with Kenneth Williams—the sharp, acerbic counterpoint to his charm—drives much of the early tension and humor behind the scenes.
