Kenneth Connor interview - Garden Party 1988

[@MrHairyNeck]

Kenneth is so different here from his on-screen persona. He's almost like a Senior Judge or barrister. Thanks so much for uploading.

Probably my favourite of all the Carry On actors. He had the most wonderful infectious giggle in those movies. The laughing gas scene in 'Carry On Nurse' kills me every time. And that marvellous giggle was exploited again in 'Carry On Regardless'. What a fine comedy actor he was.

Here in America, none of my friends know of the Carry On series but, for 35 years, I've been a big fan. The first one I saw was Carry On Cruising, in 1975. The antics of Kenneth Connor, Charles Hawtrey, Kenneth Williams, Joan Sims, and the rest, always break me up. I have the DVD boxed set, and I never tire of watching the films.

[@Omnicient.]

American's tend to know about themselves; they're highly tribalistic.

[@burnsybaby1987]

Kenneth Williams thought this man was fantastic in every film of the Carry On Series he appeared in. A very high accolade considering he was hugely critical of several other co stars.

[@121Swaleskid]

god i wasnt even born when this kenneth was being interviewed :( still to this day i love all the carry no stars :) RIP to them all, including kenneth Connor :)

[@peggymount]

Thanks for this. What a nice gent. Love his comment on 'going through life pretending not to know what smut is'.

[@Truthguy2121]

lovely lovely man,god bless him.Very underrated comedy actor and one of my favorites in the entire series.

[@PhflyDan1]

Brill actor. Remember him as one of The ACTORS in Blackadder. Absolutely HILARIOUS!!! RIP Sir...

[@rossdsouza]

Kids recognize him from the Carry on Series Men recognize him from Black Adder Legends Know him as Monsieur Alphonse in Allo Allo

[@spitfireJEJ]

Truly excellent comic actor. Arguably the funniest of them all in the films. And what a beautiful speaking voice.

[@jaysea32]

An absolute gentleman.

[@TriciaSenior25557]

love Kenneth Connor in Allo' Allo' as Under Taker (& his small horse ) swiftness & with style !!

[@Gruntol5]

I remember Kenneth Connor even further back than that. In the early 1950's he was in "Ray's a Laugh" with Ted Ray. Kenneth took the part of "Sidney Mincing" - an hilarious part, always greeted with big applause whenever he came on. He was also in at least one of the Blackadder series. A long career - one of England's gems.

[@petercarrington948]

Kenneth and Peter Butterworth were great friends. I loved Kenneth, he was such a great talent.

[@keithf_]

Peter Butterworth's wife was ... Janet Brown, I think

[@spitfireJEJ]

He contributed by being a gifted comic actor who could derive the maximum comic effect out of the script. He was also very funny when appearing in TV panel games which he did in the Sixties.

[@andywright3450]

Wonderful actor Kenny Connor Was loved him in carry on films

[@BlytheWorld1972]

what a classy man

[@lawofaverages5373]

What a truly succinct and apt line he says ‘ it’s a waste of time avoiding or pretending you know nothing about’. This applies to all societies and none more so than today.

[@RenaissanceEarCandy]

Thus far, I've only ever seen him in allo allo, so I'm used to hearing him talk in an outrageously exaggerated French accent

[@petersutton2182]

Nothing like his on screen persona, he talks so posh.

[@mikeh5431]

Amazing! I have never heard his normal voice before. Preferred his voice in the films tbh

[@SvetlinAnkov]

One infinite thanks!

[@Jawa1604]

Because he was an excellent comic actor. His timing was wonderful, he could hold an audience and was very good at playing to the camera. He was just as good at physical comedy as he was the verbal which you can see from his 'Macbeth' scene in an episode of Blackadder III. This is only my opinion of course but I think he could steel a scene. I will ask you a question now. If you can't see why people thought he was good, why are you watching him on this website?

[@Catharguy]

Crikey the late great Bob Monkhouse is in there as well.

[@Gandim45]

Aaaaargh...Hot potato, off with his draws, pluck will make ammends!

[@teecee1567]

thank you...I always wondered what came after "hot potato".

[@MsFanmail]

All the old carry on flim stars are not with us anymore we we never see there likes again

[@williamf4544]

Yes i think all the main players are gone but there are still some that appeared in them alive like the lovely Anita Harris and the equally lovely Amanda Barrie - having d=said that when you posted that comment some were still alive but sadly gone now after 10 years - I hope you havent gone too

[@alexlazebat839]

and weirdly he and betty marsden were in Sherlock Holmes together

[@Omnicient.]

The interviewer was excellent I thought. Never saw her before.

[@Dave1297]

Viv Lumsden

[@williamf4544]

Yes Viv Lumsden - she had quite a good career - she married someone and they did things together on tv

[@knyvette]

Who was the redhead interviewer? Pretty clueless interviewer but very dolly!

[@jaysea32]

jim dale?barbara windsor?

[@alexlazebat839]

not until the mid 60's

[@knyvette]

Thanks, as15 1000!

[@ameliaquartermain4220]

Of course kenneth williams didnt die then that was next month I wonder how everyone felt when he did bucause he only died a month later

[@mistofoles]

WTF? Bob Monkhouse??

[@Fcutdlady]

Yes he was in the first one carry on Sargent.

[@alexlazebat839]

@@Fcutdlady didn't he have the film can of that

[@jonjon9047]

Clearly he hated the process of being interviewed and she was a particularly bad interviewer.

[@Sprongo]

Poor interview. She talks too much.
