... The first episode is called "Kenneth Williams, Seriously Outrageous".
... R.I.P. Kenneth Williams (22nd February 1926 - 15th April 1988)
in my opinion the best of the carry on crew, but such a sad life for a man who braught so much laughter to millions, rip kenneth williams
After reading his diaries & seeing his love of literature & his comments about teaching, I often wonder if he'd have been happier as a fabulously eccentric English & Drama teacher.
Fascinating, eccentric but charming man
And I know what he means when he says the way he acts for laughs conflicts with who Kenneth really was, I really know that, but he'd be as he said would be giving up the laughs,
There are definitely some folk who have or do live a secret lonesome life of misery/ pain of whatever kind, who have a hysterical side which is beneficial to others,
Kenneth's life was about making others laugh and entertain them, while he fed from the laughter it generated💙
Fascinating Man
What a shame he was genius at what he did and never accepted his sexuality
High camp is not the same as very camp. High camp is something like the ball scene by Cecil Beaton in My Fair Lady or Diaghilev’s ballet productions.
Wow. What you perceive as "high camp" is way off-base.
That's not high camp at all. Mystified why you think it is. It's lavish production values, but not high camp.
A complex and very unhappy man.
