[sibeliandrift]

Britain is missing you, Kenneth...

[Skinslayer1]

Genius!

[whoopdedoop1212]

This man is a national treasure and a true legend

[SweetStout]

So called progressive comedians, take note of this performance and learn!

[thornysubject]

a national treasure for sure ! what a legend.

[TheMrgaztop]

Troubled! Did you see the way she walked?

A great talent, missed by very many people

[rhylmark]

[lynchian]

Legend....

[squirrelandgman71]

Top top man and perfomer/actor is sadly missed and loved.

[PhilK116]

I love listening to this wonderful feller speak.

My mate chatted with him in newcastle, and asked about something. Kenny said "Its in the book my boy" my mate said "Sorry I'm unemployed" and laughed.

a few weeks later, the book arrived through the door. he'd sent him a signed copy. My mate hadn't even given him an address !

[lPinkRainn]

i hate to think, that he seems so normal and such a happy man on tv but when you read his diaries you realise that so much was wrong with him. i was thinking about it last night and it just doesnt seem real because he just seems so happy like nothing gets him down. i may be only 16 and born long after his death. but i wish he was still around. and ido miss him loads. hes such a beauitiful amazing man. always loved R.I.P Kenny, 23 years ago this friday. :/ x

@lPinkRainn

i love kenneth williams! i used to love him on just a minute.

he would have been happier if he was still around today. some of his sadness and misery was due to his not being straight. he was one of those who would not makeit public. Like Frankie Howerd. Both made millions happy but were themselves miserable. so sad!

[BlogBitch]

@bossyboots55 Yes! gays everwhere owe him. I really think that Britain was more progressive than most countries with gay rights because of men like Kenneth. We grew up with this and everyone knew but it was never spoken 'out loud'. But it did make a difference.

But even in his day in England he could of been 'out' and about. Don't judge him because he had no obvious lover. He was who he was and a treasure for sure and not so miserable as you think.

[Moledmc]

@BlogBitch He wasn't as miserable as people think. he held his own. He was great.

[Moledmc]

@lPinkRainn he was great. The best.

[tausti]

Proper entertainment. 

[mozarttheraver123]

what a wonderful man - RIP, Carry On Ken!

[architecturalabdabs]

I really miss this guy

rip ken

[chrissieravi]

What a talent! A one-off

[oldstuff]

Ended up playing to a stereotype but was a total comedy genius. Whilst the likes of Ricky Gervais can't even attempt to be funny without a script....and sometimes not even then, Kenneth Williams could talk for hours and have you in stitches throughout.

[nab1967]

He is accused of killing his father and he has been rejected a visa to enter the USA , by scotland yard.

[mrsthursday]

@nab1967

And yet they let George Bush run around free.

[spursloyal71]

@leopoldhoob

He had a brilliant mind, and an excellent use of the English language!

[HuggyMackay]

A dear, dear man, he could hold audiences like nobody else. 

[seanbl1]

Genius??? Oh yes 100% God bless him, the world needs more people like this!!

[marsfreek]

RIP Kenneth.

[dirtytrickss]

most of them on there are dead now

[wenglishsal]

What an absolute legend Mr Kenneth Williams was and is.. We can still marvel in his glorious works all the way from 'Carry-On' films' to 'Willo-the-Wisp'... Brilliant actor, it's such a shame he didn't actually like himself, his diaries are very revealing and quite sad really...

But Kenneth is and always will be an awesome actor/orator/raconteur and all round super intelligent man ... :0)x

[uksteve19782007]

Recorded in December of 1982. Amazing how many of the people in the audience are now no longer with us :-(

[mrbeanaswell]

not really amazing, considering it's 28 years ago.

[mozarttheraver123]

@mrbeanaswell Arsehole!

[freddiesback]

@mozarttheraver123 yes I quite agree...you are!

[mozarttheraver123]

@freddiesback wat? you actually agree with that? he is dissing a classic piece of british comedy! or are you some kind of crazy stalker who online rapes @mrbeanaswell? when it comes down to that - UR the Arsehole!

FU!

[freddiesback]

@mozarttheraver123 oops think i should have read the whole thread b4 commenting...i would never diss our ken - see other posts on this series. i thought the comment from @mrbeanaswell was calling kw an ar**hole! apologies for any offence caused... :-(

[mozarttheraver123]

@freddiesback No sweat - easy mistake to make. Apologies for my last comment, I was in a bad mood. Ta*

[ammorreztristar]

[mrbeanaswell]
