- This is Part Two of the three-part radio version of The Private World of Kenneth Williams, which includes some material not released on the BBC CD in 2004, as broadcast on BBC Radio 4 FM, 18 November 2003.
Part Two features extracts from Round The Horne, Just A Minute, the Carry On films and Williams snatching comedy from humiliation in his classic set-to with Michael Parkinson.
David Benson came to public attention in 1996 with his critically acclaimed solo show 'Think No Evil of Us: My Life With Kenneth Williams'.
His first association with Williams, however, was when, as a thirteen-year old schoolboy, his entry to the 1975 Jackanory Story-writing Competition, 'The Rag and Bone Man', was chosen by Williams as one of the five he read on the programme that week.

Thank you for this.
I really enjoyed listening.
Ah that line "infamy, infamy, they've all got in in-fa-me" 😂.
Yes I never got that one, please explain? So clever!
wonderful stuff indeed....
Thank you for uploading the readings from the diaries. Fantabulosa...look forward to part three.
Life is all memory 💙
He's too adorable.
Love him!
Love Kenneth’s diaries. So thanks for uploading these portions. A small observation if I may.
Listening to the audio clips from the Carry On films, it strikes me that what you don’t notice when the films are on screen, is how busy and always present the music is in the background.
Tootling away or big brass noises trying to create a perpetually daft/silly background mood.
Can't help but wish Adam Godley [from Cor Blimey] was doing Kenny in these readings. He absolutley nails the voice.
Enjoyed
How fantastic having a diary with this much detail,
Who is Miss Cadger?? Sorry, missed that.
Good evening! Stop messing about!
