    What a remarkable man Peter Butterworth was! I was never a fan of the Carry On films, but I never knew this.

    Carry On films: The star who helped World War II prisoners escape
    Peter Butterworth, who appeared in 16 Carry On films, was an officer for MI9 planning prison escapes.

    I was only 12 when I went to the cinema to see it. So they obviously thought Babs with the paps wasn't X-rated. :P

    I had NO idea. What a hero he was! (And wasn’t cast in the movie because he didn’t look like a prisoner?!)
