Carry On writer Norman Hudis dies aged 93

Norman Hudis, best known for composing the initial six Carry On movies, has kicked the bucket at 93 years old.

Morris Bright, administrator of Elstree Studios and a nearby family companion, said: "Without him we wouldn't have had the Carry On movies, since he composed the initial six - and look what that generated throughout the years.

"We owe the man a great deal. He leaves an incredible legacy of delight, stimulation and chuckling - something we can think back on and say, 'We're exceptionally thankful for him'.

"He was an awesome fellow, I should miss him an extraordinary arrangement."

Hudis is made due by his dowager, two children, and two grandchildren, Veronica and Cameron.
