Michael's friend, Helene, comments on the 2008 calendar:

"Each month features dates of the 'Carry On' stars' birthdays and a coloured pencil drawing of a bear in an outfit which Jennifer Stephenson has created to represent a character from one of Michael's 12 favourite 'Carry On' films.  Both the bears and the backgrounds are stunning...
 
So, all I can say is..."Carry On Michael!"

Michael hopes you enjoy each new teddy bear illustration!

Lavinia, the matron, is a formidable nurse; to the patients, a tonic - to the nurses, a curse.
