Carry on Behind

The Riverside Caravan Site has recently been purchased by the somewhat guileless Major Leep, who, in doing some renovations, including digging a new cesspit, discovers what look to be ancient Roman artifacts on site. As such, an archaeological team led by Professor Roland Crump and which includes a new assistant, Roman expert Anna Vrooshka, and many of his students, have taken up temporary residence while they conduct a dig. Their stay is complicated in that conservative Crump and free spirited Vrooshka are forced to share the only caravan available. Others holidaying at the park are: lovingly married Arthur and Linda Upmore, who were forced to bring Linda's shrewish mother Daphne, her large cacti houseplants and her recently acquired myna bird, Daphne who does not only not like Arthur but most men in believing they like her lazy husband Henry from who she separated ten years ago and has not seen since; friends Fred Ramsden and Ernie Bragg who told their respective wives that this was a fishing trip, while at least for Fred it was always intended to be one where he could chase girls; married Joe and Norma Baxter whose Irish wolfhound Oliver takes up more space than the two of them combined; and young, nubile cyclists Sandra and Carol who are able to cajole Major Leap to let them stay at what is the caravans-only camping site. Mayhem ensues with this collective, the situations largely exacerbated by Vrooshka's command of the English language being limited, Oliver often running rampant through the site, the myna bird having a more risque phraseology than Daphne would admit, and the site's vagabond caretaker, Banks, doing whatever to bilk anyone and everyone of a few quid here and there, he having a past association to someone currently vacationing there.
