I had been trying to find the chip shop ditty watching Kenny Everett shows/clips, it was on TV tonight so I knew to look via Russell Harty. Thank you for posting. Aside from that, I once sat behind Russell Harty at Brighton Dome, I think watching Elton John.
I’ve actually been looking for this for years. Had it recorded back in the day but who knows where that’s gone? The helium part is the part which just kills me. First time watching it, it had us all in fits of laughter. Helium wasn’t as readily available as it is now back then, so it was really the first time for a lot of people to experience the novelty. I remember when I first tried it some year later, saying exactly the same thing as Harty first said when he took it. ❤
I’m so glad this is on TH-cam. Worth every penny of the 🎉subscription.😊 Does anyone know where we can find Kenny on US television. That sounds interesting.
Wow, typical of Kenny to push the envelope about he can and can't get away with, even on the Russell Harty show. No wonder the BBC had a habit of sacking him and then realising he had such a loyal fan base amongst the young they'd rehire him. Ken could liven up any talk show with his wit and stories as well as being a talented DJ. Interestingly both men were still in the closet at this point although Kenny finally had enough of hiding it and came out years later whereas Harty never went public.
Kenny said bollocks on live tv. In 2021 that would receive 2000 complaints to Ofcom, an instant apology from the interviewer and broadcaster and snowflake reaction on social media.
"Swearing on air is no longer offensive to the British public, Ofcom has concluded, after finding that complaints regarding on-air cursing have halved in five years." - Guardian article from 2020.

I still cry with laughter at this amazing human being.
Same here. 😂
We won’t see anything like this in the future so savour this clip from a time when people were their authentic unfiltered selves
Dear Ken. True talent. Miss him like hell.

God he was hilarious. Miss you Kuddly Ken
Brilliant!

A legend!

Been nobody quite like him since.
Kenny at his best 😉
Russel Harty and Terry Wogan had the same hairdresser. True story.
A shame they have both since died of course, in 1988 and 1995 respectively though. At least Penelope Keith is still around though of course.
Ah this was fantastic. I think Penelope Keith quite liked him perhaps romantically it seems to me
