Asexual, gay, ashamed of his sexuality, never had a partner, battled depression, successful early career in theatre but then frustrated & trapped by his Carry On film image. Astonishingly well read. Amazing raconteur, full of endless funny anecdotes. His flat resembled a monks cell, his cooker remained in the cellophane. I'd say that was pretty unique. 😁. The book of his diaries is a fantastic read.

Became a fan of Kenneth Williams when my father would take me to see the Carry On movies, beginning with the first one in 1958 when I was just seven years old. Of course the humor was over my head, but I could see it was funny, and of course my dad would be in stitches. Much later on, in 1987, I moved my own family to eastern France where I discovered that one could pick up BBC Radio 4. Williams was still a panelist on Just a Minute and I felt so lucky that I could enjoy his performances again. He was extraordinarily talented and richly funny. What a marvel it is today for baby-boomers to have this easy access to so many of the things we grew up with to enjoy again as often as we wish, like Kenneth Williams. Such a delight.

Chris Hebbron - Yes, Kenneth Horne ran a very successful business in those days. His sudden and unexpected death (I think it was from a fatal heart attack) came as a big shock to everyone at the time. Kenneth Williams continued thereafter with his own radio show called “Stop Messing About” (with Hugh Paddick & Joan Sims) but the series abruptly ran out of steam and it only aired on radio for a short season. There was an opinion, often expressed at the time, that Kenneth Horne had been the “magic ingredient” that had made the “Round the Horne” series so successful - and I really do believe that this was undeniably true!

TL Stev what's an 'echo' - are you referring to that thing from -m-z-n? You'd do better if your actually did some research - do the 'heavy lifting' as it were, because, though you might be fortunate to have found Round The Horne that way, it's all based on metrics, what the data says, recommends. I'd rather do my exploring on my own - let my tech know as little bit about me as possible, and just act as a media server. An I l being clear? You find more when you do the work - and in this early day of people freely giving their privacy away, I don't use g---gl-, not any 'social' media (yes I do know this is owned by the same parties). I only use my tech - not to find things that might interest me, but to deliver it on to my own (private) servers, from my own RAIDS of media storage.
