In this documentary portrait of Kenneth Williams, who died in 1988, the much-loved comedy actor's diaries are drawn upon to illustrate his life and career. David Benson, who won acclaim for his one-man show in which he portrayed Kenneth Williams, reads extracts from the diaries, while archive audio clips from such programmes as Round the Horne and Beyond Out Ken illustrate the madcap versatility of Williams the performer. This Radio Collection version features material additional to the original Radio 4 broadcast.© and (P)2004 BBC Audiobooks LTD Entertainment & Celebrities Entertainment & Performing Arts Funny

Hearing how Kenneth recalls the day’s events, then hearing the recording/interviews and how they actually went, really highlights how incredibly self critical he was.

Really enjoyable. Extracts from his diary and listenings from some shows he was on.
Such a talent. Shame we don’t have that talent around anymore.

Well presented and has good and variety of diary entries as well as snippets from shows he was in.

Narration very good ; excerpts very good but far too short ; not enough content . Wish I’d bought Acid drops !
