I will not disaree entirely as to why Leslie didn't appear in more Carry On's the money paid wasn't great although in fact he got £720 for Nurse, £1000 for Teacher and £1200 for Constable not bad for six weeks work in the late 50's early 60's. He in fact also worked for Peter Rogers on Raising The Wind the year after Constable. The Carry On's were very much an ensemble cast no star above the title and Leslie was now being offered star billing in flims like Crooks Anonymous and In the Doghouse. So perhaps that's why he did no more Carry On's.
