'''''Cleo, Camping, Emmanuelle and Dick''''' is a 1998 play written by the English [[dramatist]] [[Terry Johnson (dramatist)|Terry Johnson]], who also directed the original production at the [[Royal National Theatre|National Theatre]].

The play is about the off-screen love affair between [[Carry On (film series)|''Carry On'' film]] stalwarts, [[Barbara Windsor]] and [[Sid James]].

The comedy also reveals that the filming of the Carry On series was a less than glamorous affair, characterised by leaking caravans, inadequate pay-cheques and argumentative co-stars.

Most of the play's action takes place on rain-soaked locations with a scantily-clad Barbara taking refuge in Sid's trailer while he and co-star Kenneth Williams carry on their notorious feud, which began when they starred together in the TV series ''[[Hancock's Half Hour]]''.<ref>{{cite news| url=http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/176719.stm | work=BBC News | title=The carry on behind the Carry On films | date=21 September 1998 | accessdate=30 April 2010}}</ref><ref>{{cite web|author=Richard Lee for PTAG |url=http://www.ptag.org.uk/whats_on/2009_2010_season/cleo_camping/cleo_camping.htm |title=Peoples Theatre Arts Group | Cleo, Camping, Emanuelle and Dick | 22nd - 26th Sept 2009 |publisher=Ptag.org.uk |date=2009-09-26 |accessdate=2010-05-22 |url-status=dead |archiveurl=https://web.archive.org/web/20100310130508/http://www.ptag.org.uk/whats_on/2009_2010_season/cleo_camping/cleo_camping.htm |archivedate=March 10, 2010 }}</ref>
