"I wonder if anyone will ever know about the emptiness of my life. Or wonder about me and ask themselves what manner of man I was. How to ever tell them, how to ever explain. How to say I never found love, how to say it was all my fault. Who can say where it all goes wrong?"
- Kenneth Williams
"... And the way that Shelley puts it, 'We are a portion of everything we've ever loved.' And I think it is those loves that form the tissue if you like of belief and faith. Because acting is all about faith. Performing is making an act of faith, believing you can create reciprocity between the auditorium and the stage.
And that's why when the atheist says 'what if life's pointless, what if it's all a joke?' It has to be answered by the comedian, 'well, if it is a joke, let's make it a good one.'"
- Kenneth Williams
"Out, out, brief candle!
Life's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and frets his hour upon the stage
And then is heard no more. It is a tale
Told by an idiot, full of sound and fury,
Signifying nothing."
- William Shakespeare

Peter Shaffer, tremendous find
was in the boot tonight!!
He was an absolute one off.
So cool to hear from Peter Shafter.
Just love this show.
That psychiatrist was horrible calling Kenneth Williams a narcissist if he had bothered to read his Diary he would have see. His was often self hating and loathed himself all the stuff saying he loved himself was a front.
What a character he was.it is a shame no one could have stopped him take that overdose that ended his life.I still think it could have been an accident.
YEAH SHUT YOU'RE AWFUL NOISE THERE'S RESPECTABLE PERSON TRYING TO GET HIS REST UP HERE! HELLO KENNY! WE'RE CAUGHT UP! YEAH OOOH YES! HA HA HA HA HA! HOW ARE YOU DOING!? SAME AS USUAL DOING IT ALONE BY MYSELF TRAGIC KNOWN! HOW'S THAT HOLE OF YOU'RE'S COMING ALONG NEARLY DONE WITH IT HAVE YOU!? NEARLY DONE SHOULD BE OFF TONIGHT! REALLY!? WELL YOU CAN FOOL ME POSITIVLEY MESSY VINNY'S! WHEN YOU NEED ANY HELP FEELING IT YOU'RE HOLE THAT IS! GIVE ME A BELT TA RA! HA HA HA HA HA!
I like the photos that pop up now and again, and am wondering who is the charming lady at 4:58...?
When he was on top form, he touched genius.
He's so right about how relationships eventually distill down into a housekeeper and a breadwinner, "otherwise nothing would get done"
There was an actress called Imogen Hassall who only appeared in Carry On Loving in a role obviously meant for Barbara Windsor except Imogen Hassall had a more fruitless and short end after the early 1970s. ‘Countess of Cleavage’ they called her but look at Babs, typecasted so much until EastEnders 20 years after being a ‘bouncy little blonde.’
This first aired on Easter Monday 24th April 2000 on ITV here in Britain.
Sad that he had such an overbearing and controlling Mother. She should have let him live his own life. Very sad.
Kenneth Williams made the carry on films funnier than anyone,I read all his books ,he was a funny man,with a sad heart,
Not as good as Adam Godley,in cor blimey
Williams didn't find Halliwell half as annoying as Halliwell found Orton...........
he wasn't any where near that tall
I find my self constantly time travelling back to the seventies and eighties, good old Ken I miss him
Loved it when he used to read on Jackanory
Charles Hawtrey once tried to seduce George Best at a party
WE ALL GREW up Ie. CARRY ONS ABSOLUTELY FANTASTIC COMEDY
It's amazing to hear Ken distancing himself from the gay world referring to "these queens" and "homosexuals" as though he wasn't one! I know that he had to be careful professionally not to out himself or be "outed" but it's the deliberate way he does it.
As far as I’m aware, it was something about himself he was never comfortable with. He wished it away and often felt defeated that it wouldn’t go. Sweetly, he proposed to Maggie Smith, and she was so kind to him.
I absolutely love Kenneth Williams!!! Such an amazing voice, personality and creative mind!!! RIP Ken 🙏🏻❤️X
I have always admired and loved dear Kenneth.Such a gentle soul and so so talented.Left this world far far too early.Always thinking of you Kenneth.I can just imagine how you are all making them laugh upstairs God rest your dear soul love you always Jeremy Allfrey.
Greatest of them all
The way she walks
Where's matron?
Robert Stephens was brilliant speaking those diary entries. I think Kenneth poisoned his father.
Is there any chance of getting part 3
They brought us so much pleasure all of them as a child of the 70s ! It’s such a shame some of them had deep troubles and some died so young god rest them all and thank you all ! May you rest in peace !
Isn't he bold
I'm not sure you can say it was obvious Thar Kenny killed himself
His voice is better than Benson's.
The 4 men most associated with the carry ons are kenneth williams 26 charles hawtrey 23 sid james 19 and kenneth connor 17 frankie howard wasnt that much associated with them he was only in 2
Two brilliant actors
I really like KW. I wish he could have been happier. He certainly had a talent for making others happy.
Adam Godley really plays Kenneth as the kid who reminds the teacher of homework.
:)))
I would love to know what the "Leader" music is he listened to 🤔 I've wondered about that for years.
What pathetic, petty arsehole had this show edited before it's release on the Complete Bilko box set?
Its him ,its Kenneth
What an actor,jusy after watching him as brian clough ,then nixon ,then this with a few Guiness,wow
Best kenneth williams impression I've ever heard
Is there any actor in English Theatre that isn't homosexual?
Such an erudite man. His talent was largely wasted on the screen.
I’m 28 years old my grand parents had these on VHS video
This is wonderful to watch. Always loved Kenneth Williams and miss him greatly.
Kenneth Williams was a frustrated gay man, living a double life, he self loathed himself and what he truly was. Sad man.
Aww matron keep them away😂😂
