  • Since the BBC fired him (the buffoons!), obstreperous disc jockey Kenny Everett has been doing just fine, thank you very much.
    He's moved to picturesque Petal Cottage in the bucolic heart of rural Sussex, cast off his London airs and reinvented himself as a rugged country type. He saws wood, he plants veg, he identifies different species of trees, he manfully ascends rickety old staircases using a rope, his cottage is equipped with a 'rustic hood' and bread oven. The urbane sophisticate you once knew is no more, Kenny Everett has changed.
    However, his triumphant return to the BBC necessitates a trip to London for a press conference, will the all-new Kenny Everett be able to cope in the big city?
    This clip is from Late Night Line-Up, originally broadcast 21 May, 1971.

    Dear auld Kenny, "my wife"... This is much like the Oliver Reed interview at Broome Hall, a sort of strange but utterly wonderful unreality about the whole thing. Dropping in and out of his true accent like SO many TV/Radio people did back then.

    Good ol' Kenny, shame the majority of his stuff is locked up in the in the Capitol records building archives to never be heard of again. Worst still, is that the majority of the video stuff he did has been lost forever. :-(

      @@miaj5118 Well, the BBC and ITV, at the time didn't consider live broadcasts were worth saving, so a considerable amount of the shows were lost forever, when they wiped the tapes, it was down to recovering broadcasts which were taken abroad for syndication in other areas, that anything was saved at all. Capital radio also own quite a lot of the copyright of the era, and as such have decided never to release any of the footage, broadcast on radio. They even went as far as to shut down the last remaining website that had broadcasts of all of the Captain Kremmin radio episodes and demanded that they were deleted forever. I have managed to piece together, thanks to people from around the world, most of the episodes in their entirety. But under legal action I can never share them with anyone. It Is honestly quite a shame such talent, poured into those episodes, may never be heard of again.
