Wonder where Jo is now ..... ....Jo, you're famous-ish! 😆

9:13 He looks like Sean Connery.

@13:44 What’s it like living Nextdoor to Bez? Haaaa haa haaa… Growing up in Chicago late 80s Shaun was a huge influence on me and our party enterprise. The news that we were getting about the latest of Shaun was either false or so old we felt powerless. Now so many people in America who love him and the Mondays really wish we had a direct line to him. Wish he wouldn’t hide from us still. He’s paid for his mistakes ten fold the man deserves a huge break and a return of all the love he gave us all. Super nice guy

must be a classic.

Never knew he had Parkinson’s .. such a shame

I dont know a lot about homo history, but surely Williams was a pathfinder for so many gays. He must have made them appear less threatening in far more dangerous times. Such a pity he couldnt enjoy his success more.

Rik Mayall was a true genius of comedy..RIP

I so enjoyed the re-runs. Thank you. ❤❤❤😂😂😂😂😂

“Where there is shit and riots on the streets may we bring the Not the Nine O’Clock News.” The last ditch stand of British humour against Thatcher’s Britain before it disappeared in the Poll Tax and up the arse of political correctness.

A natural progression before woke and pc arrived.

Those o'clocks till now more superior over monthy python as star trek over wars wars, even regarding com

timothy on the diviing board was priceless lol

I never cared for Kenneth Williams (he was before my time, and as a queer man I hate the caricature he represented), but this is a tender, honest portrayal of what queer loneliness can be like. Williams was a man who lived through many of the important milestones of modern LGBTIQ+ identity, and managed to let it all pass him by through a self-hating shame he didn't deserve. Thanks for posting.

It’s a really sad story he needed mental health help not to be imprisoned all that time

Love the smiths - love morrisey But objectively- the smiths aren’t the most influential British band - that’s always The Beatles

Free Charlie

Horrible

Too much sex! I prefer to remember Kenneth as a gifted funny man.

Grande Charles Bronson Per me sei un mito💪😎

LEGEND

Sad this was unlisted

Thanks for the upload!

Russell Brand brought me here

Tho I've stopped being astonished at the brilliance of Sheen's talent, I've rarely been grabbed from the first instant like this before. This film caught KW's extraordinary range - perhaps bipolarity - and the utter heartache of his unexplored selves. The spectacle of comedy feels wholesome when we're laughing - even when it abuts cruelty. It's been my career for decades, so I'm hardly objective here, but the quality of mercy - one I've not regarded highly enough before - is pouring from this play. But I guess we've all had the hunch that mean streaks run inward. For example, in Tony Hancock, it was hard to feel empathy, but it's the takeaway here. Bravo to Marty Hesford, the author, as well. I believe that Kenneth Williams himself would be applauding the loudest of all.

Thank you for this! ❤

Kenneth Williams, pure genius. Brilliant from Michael Sheen.

Why's he touching Kenneth legs?

It was a missed opportunity for him that he didn't take up boxing the way his father suggested. If he'd learnt to stick up for himself a little better his subsequent life might have been happier.

The Arena opening sequence is one of the greatest in TV history

This is the first time I have watched this documentary since I have watched the entire series of Believe Nothing with Rik made the year I was born. Mummy brought me the very expensive box set for Christmas. Rik Mayall will have been dead 10 years this June.

Thanks very much for posting, I hadn't seen this. Oh my goodness, where to start; heaven help any British comedian, let alone a gay British comedian, who inevitably gets a biopic indicating their lives as nothing more than a sad tragedy, see also Frankie Howerd's awful biopic. Based on comments here, I must be the only person who sees Sheen's performance as a rank caricature of the true Kenneth Williams. Williams was a British gem, he deserves better than this. One positive I can say is that David Charles as Charles Hawtrey was uncannily realistic.

He was a one off ...never the same without Taylor, people forget that tho

Thank you!

A truly wonderful documentary.

28:00 ....War!

Yea he was tired just doing Ty this interview, could have passed for Sammy Davis son

Hard drugs must be brilliant for creativity. The scenes when Bez shows up to drive the car... you'd bet that counting up to five would be beyond the both of them.

👍

Ahhh last interview ,you can hear in his breathing he was not wellRIP

First time to see this. Thank you for sharing 😄

Let s remember they did bad things however they were right about Jim fix it back in the late 70s and 80s

Were is he now?

Everyone screaming at their screen, hey yoko. Stfu

Brought all his troubl3s on hims3lf.

One of the most mentally and physically toughest humans to ever walk this earth.. warrior blood running thru bronsons veins! 👑👑👑👑👑

👍

If the police had a sliver of the decency of these two legends, our country wouldn't be the shambles it is now. God bless Ronnie and Reggie ❤

Yeah record a video while driving so there is background noise..... freaking brilliant smh.

Add the Jam to the list of good bands sacrificed to one ego. They treat their band mates with contempt - thinking of Foxton, Ronson, Karn and others. Paul Weller was an arch dick - he did F all of note after. A$$hole

Fear láidir 😮
