South Ealing Road Park (as well as many other South Ealing locations) forms the backdrop to the antics in Carry On Constable (1960), the fourth film in the series (out of a total of 31).

A local police force is left short-staffed by a flu epidemic. Enter three bumbling new recruits, straight from training school, and Sergeant Wilkins has to try to turn them into real police overnight. They nearly arrests a plainclothes detective, mistake a radio play for a murder and investigate a young woman in the bath, and then a real robbery takes place.

Starring series regulars Sid James, Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims and Hattie Jacques. Directed by Gerald Thomas.
