This is my second favourite line. I thought it was original filmwise, but apparantly the line was used much, much earlier.
True. Sid James' work with Hancock was classic. I think this gets forgotten. He took it quite personally (and who wouldn't?) when Hancock axed him. But that was Hancock's insecurity. He was his own worse enemy. They were a great double act, but that wasn't what Hancock wanted.
Sid James died locally, at Sunderland Empire Theatre.
He was always one of my heroes growing up. That laugh he did that said it all, worldly-wise but at the same time devil-may-care.
I love the character names in Carry On as well - Sir Sidney Ruff-Diamond, Doctor Nookey, Doctor Prod and Frankie Howard as Mister Biggar. They crack me up.

Nah, it's the "Infamy" line for me - too bloomin' right and all
Tear down these walls; Cut the ties that held me
Crying out at the top of my voice; Tell me now if you can hear me

In Carry On Up The Khyber there is a scene with Charles Hawtrey painting a red line in the Governor's residence courtyard and Terry Scott asks what he's doing, to which he replies "I'm painting a thin red line, they will never get past that", and Terry Scott replies "I will put a thin red line across your thick white backside"
