Kenneth appears in an episode of Parkinson from 1980. This is a masterclass in anecdote telling. Everything about this performance is perfect. The versatility of the voice, the timing, the material, and most of all...the man. Behold, a comedy genius at his very peak. "Seven guineas for a bra?...cheaper to have your tits off!!..." .

his notes were diaries written at the time which portrays an honest account of what he thought then, not some glossed over autobiography to make a person look like a saint. You got Kenneth Williams warts and all The all was inclusive of genius that is not oft portrayed these days

One thing about Parkinson he has a truly commanding voice, he may not be liked by some but his tone is excellent

Thankyou for this post. He was a tremendous man. Sadly missed.

Pure Comic Genius. Very tortured in his private life - but had an amazng brain, wit, personality - absolutely love him.
Shiloh says January 7th, 2009 at 00:45:17
Such a talented, but sad man. He was hiding such tortuous thoughts. As many geniuses have.

Along with Peter Cook

... Telling stories - the Helpmann at the umpires' room, Maggie Smith teeth fillings and the bra story, Edith Evans and the Crescent Hotel, syndrome and aerodrome, Stanley Baxter and finally Charles Laurence's Mae West line. By that time I'd started climbing and by the end it was OK, but only just. Why? - well the competition was fierce, I'd been lazy, and I'd done the best of the Orton (last year!) on this show and couldn't repeat it. Tom Lehrer was marvellous to me!...

Tom Lehrer, the university lecturer and satirical singer/pianist. Perhaps his best known work is 'The Elements Song'. From Kenneth William's diary (published 1994), Saturday 4 October 1980: "My entrance was marred by my tripping up on the bottom step, the opening dialogue was stilted and unfunny and four or five minutes of turgid rubbish constituted the chat till I got off the play [he had been directing Joe Orton's 'Loot'] and onto the book ['Acid Drops']...

At a fantasy dinner party this man would be in the top 5 guests.
Ryton says January 7th, 2009 at 02:40:12
great Kenneth Williams, who were the other guests on Parky and what they do? They seemed highly amused at Kenneths antics!
TENTAGIL says January 7th, 2009 at 03:03:11

Kailyn says January 7th, 2009 at 03:26:10
oh dear, i noticed how much his nostrils are displayed, and how much the relative sizes of his right and left nostrils appear so different as the camera angle varies... it ruined it for me, a word of advise, never focus on his nostrils
EDLIN says January 7th, 2009 at 03:49:09
what a truly fascinating man
AHRIMAN says January 7th, 2009 at 04:12:08
Or maybe that the umps were a bit queeny.
Courtenay says January 7th, 2009 at 04:35:07
His death was recorded an open verdict. He either accidently overdosed on tablets or comitted suicide. But before he died he wrote of (and was) suffering very severe terrible pain which would have come from his ulcer.
Codey says January 7th, 2009 at 04:58:06
redrachel76 You sure he died from lack of treatment for his ulders? I thought it was suicide.
Margo says January 7th, 2009 at 05:21:05
The umpires joke is really about Helpmann pretending that putting on eye make-up on top of a table was a usual occurance.
Deortun says January 7th, 2009 at 05:44:04
The cause of stomach ulcers was discovered in 1981 but it was only recognised and adopted as treatment in the 90's b/c of drug companies power and political reasons. Kenneth Williams and many others died as a result of this delay. I bet treatment for other deseases now being delayed this way, for deseases like M.E. etc. I loved Kenneth Williams, such a shame.
