    Kenneth never owned a television set. He always bought one for his mother Louie, upgrading it over the years e.g. getting her a new colour set in the early 1970s. He would let her have the television, and he would pop round each night, or some nights to watch a few shows with her. Otherwise he hated much of what was pumped out on the then three (later four) UK stations. He much preferred reading, writing, listening to records or to the radio.

    Kenneth Williams had cockney, working-class parents and his early career was as a draughtsman drawing maps. He was a self-made man but not in the money sense - he made his own distinctive voice and public persona so well that nobody else could match him during his lifetime and since his rather early death from an overdose of sleeping pills. A one-off who didn't mind laughing at himself. What a dish!

    You can really feel the genuine warmth between these two. KW was usually so guarded in interviews but you can tell here he's totally at ease.

    What made Kenneth Williams so memorably brilliant wasn't just his obvious erudition but his extraordinary talent to appear so genuinely self-effacing.

      +The Governor Excellent point Governor. I'd like to know what he would have added if given the chance.He is absolutely razor sharp! Unlike some interviewees who one can tell are concentrating on what they are about to say, it is clear he is paying very clear attention to the interviewer's words. When Russell Harty mentioned " does she bottom through," Ken was RIGHT on to it.

    All my life I have taken real delight in Kenneth Williams. I could listen to him speak for hours and often do. I was saddened by his death and often wonder whether it was accidental or deliberate? I would guess the latter but it's so sad to think he was driven to overdose on Barbiturates despite being so loved. I'm just grateful that we can still enjoy him here.

    one of the best actors and comedian of the 60,s and 70,s ..... most of the time you couldnt understand what he was talking about but you laughed anyway... in that aspect he was much like tommy cooper... he not only sounded funny but he looked funny and theres not many around these days that can do that ( except for lee evans )

    A truly funny man, shame we wont see people of his generation again, because what we have now apart from a few exceptions are just not funny or interesting..Go and get the box set of the carry on films, they`re wonderful

    A very funny man, and ' well read, ....a CARRY -ON Legend, and a comedy icon,..but sadly, in private,.. he was a very troubled lonely person ,..who struggled with his sexuality all his life, that left him feeling isolated ,...which led to an existence of depression and a lack of self-esteem....he was a troubled soul most his life, and his tragic death , was such a sad ending, for such a talented and natural performer......K.Williams (rip)
