Carry On Abroad is the twenty-fourth in the series of Carry On films to be made, released in 1972. The film features series regulars Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, Bernard Bresslaw, Barbara Windsor, Kenneth Connor, Peter Butterworth and Hattie Jacques. It was the 23rd and final appearance for Charles Hawtrey. June Whitfield returned after appearing in Carry On Nurse 13 years earlier. Jimmy Logan made the first of two appearances in the series.
Along with the previous film in the series (Carry On Matron), it features the highest number of the regular Carry On team. The only members missing are Jim Dale and Terry Scott, both of whom had the left the series by this point (although Dale would return belatedly for Carry On Columbus in 1992) and, as a result, were never in a Carry On film together.
