I bloody love Kenny Everett. I knew him from TV though and lately I keep hearing about his cutting edge radio career that I apparently missed out on, so thanks for this priceless morsel.
I really miss Cuddly Ken. I thought it was a bit of a coincidence that she passed her driving test first time as well. This is a comment for the terminally old ! Thank you for sharing this x x
Thank you. I'm currently researching Kenny for (what I hope will be) a series of articles, so it's great to find these radio snippets of the Kuddly One, and not only that, but I think you did a great job of finding images to go with the sounds.
This is a wonderful selection, and I'm now just realizing how brilliant the slideshow is; it's a very important component of this TH-cam. Just linked to this on my newly relaunched blog.
He was truly a comic genius, both on radio and Television. Couldn't he just come back to this world for one day or week even....and give us all a laugh again?
You don't know what you had till it's gone we are so lucky there is all these sound bits out there for generations to enjoy what we grew up with. The man was ahead of his time just think what he could produce today god bless cuddly ken our radio friend x
OH! how I wished I'd kept my old recordings. Memory modules, God squad, fiddly classical bits, kremmen erm---AAAAGGGHHH it's so long ago now those golden moments are fading in my memory. I feel culturally deprived.
Ohhhhh Cuddly Ken! Those were the days my friends, we thought they'd never end. We'd sing and dance for ever and a day. We'd live the lives we choose, we'd fight and never lose, for we were young and sure to have our way. Nostalgia fest in full force.
my fav bit? when harry Nielson makes up a song live on air with kenny's backing track at 7:46. two geniuses! Honestly, radio just cant touch this today....
WOW! Brilliant stuff and brilliantly edited (makes my efforts look like rubbish!) Congrats! I have some Kenny on my channel and also on mjvatloppers. I WAS going to do "Moment Of Terror" - with the belch thru a Watkins Copycat? - but it SHOULD be on VinylFun's "Capital Radio's First Birthday Record" - I'll go check and if it's not there, I'll post THAT sometime. Keep up the GREAT work!
it would be awesome english subtitles. I'm not from UK/US, and Kenny Everett's stuff caught my eye. He had such a pompous flamboyant accent. It's a little bit hard to understand(such as almost all those old stuff from BBC)
A one off.A radio genius.No one ever has and never will come close to him
A national treasure
i listened to every one of his shows as a kid and ended up in radio years later. a total genius often copied but no-one ever came close

You can really see his how much he looks like David Tennant in a lot of the earlier pictures of him when he was beardless.
He was great n TV.
But on Radio?.........Pure Genius!
How I miss Kenny Everett!
I enjoyed the radio shows more than the tv shows.
it would be awesome english subtitles.

The BBC were after tapes awhile ago. Was on Jeremy Vine show. Try them!
