I got the daffodil part right
Lorry I've done you a slight diservice. In a way we were both right. The daffodil scene was originally in Carry On Nurse (1959). To critical acclaim, rather than the expected thermometer, daffodils were inserted into the rectum of Wilfred Hyde-White who playing an over-demanding patient.
Carry On Doctor (1967), starring Frankie Howerd, contains a sly reference to that daffodil/thermometer scene. When a nurse approaches Francis Bigger (Howerd) with a daffodil, he says, "Oh no you don't! I saw that film!"
Comic genius, but it won't help Max get off the hook. Actually, having seen the video, I think he'd quite enjoy the hook.
