Talbot Rothwell

Talbot Nelson Conn "Tolly" Rothwell, OBE (12 November 1916 – 28 February 1981) was an English screenwriter.

He had a variety of jobs during his early life: town clerk, police officer and Royal Air Force pilot.

His hit play Queen Elizabeth Slept Here ran for 349 performances at the Strand Theatre in London's West End.

By the time he submitted a screenplay to Carry On films producer Peter Rogers, he was already an established screenwriter.

[1] He took the series into a more lewd and bawdy direction from that of Carry On's first screenwriter, Norman Hudis, but was careful never to stray into pornographic territory.
