Rogers began his career as a journalist for his local paper, before graduating to scriptwriting religious informational films.

[1] The majority of Rogers' work, including all the Carry On films, were made at Pinewood Studios in Iver Heath, Buckinghamshire, England.

His other credits included Appointment with Venus starring David Niven, and Time Lock in which Sean Connery made one of his earliest film appearances.

Peter and Betty lived for many years at a large home in Beaconsfield, "Drummers Yard"[1], that had been purchased from the actor Dirk Bogarde.

[3][better source needed] Peter Rogers was described as "perfect for Anglo-Amalgamated, with his strong work ethic and desire to keep costs down" and was "the Golden Goose" for that studio, making a number of other comedies outside the Carry On series, plus one serious drama This Is My Street.
