Interesting facts
Cor, Blimey! is a 2000 TV film that follows the relationship between Carry On film actors Sid James and Barbara Windsor.
Production
Geoffrey Hutchings found it difficult to play Sid James because there was little archive material of James as himself. The actor used James' distinctive "guttural laugh" as a "way in" to the character. Samantha Spiro "felt a sense of responsibility" playing Barbara Windsor, who appears as herself in the final scene.
