One reviewer has said that KW's greatest contribution to art is not his acting and comedy, but his diaries. I agree. They are a brilliant representation not only of British theatrical life, but of British life in general from the 1940s to the 80s. One day he'll be regarded as a classic and historically important; a second Pepys.

The late great Kenneth Williams. In the 1970s I lived with my young family on the top floor of a Georgian terraced house in Conway Street, W1, in London's Fitzrovia. Miss Evan's Dairy was on the corner just across the road and Kenneth was a regular customer. I often saw him and his mum in Regent's Park when I took my two young children for a walk...and he and his mother always said hello. A sad tortured soul, but a nice hugely talented man.😎❤ PS 20 years later I met and worked closely with Dennis Main Wilson on a British rival to The Simpsons based on the Daily Express cartoonist, Carl Giles's cartoon family. Trouble was it depended on Johnny Speight getting the official ok from Giles and when Johnny suddenly died, the opportunity went with him. But it was interesting working on comedy with such great comedy producer.

Personally I have always loved the 'snidy' voice and everytime Kenneth does an old person...I'm not surpirsed Dennis main wilson was impressed by his aged dauphin...to listen to he has just the right timbre for a doddering senior! Absolutely hysterical...but its a voice he never did as often as the others though I feel, which was a shame. Not that there is anything wrong with being a 'camp' comic...but how anyone can label Williams as just 'camp' has always bewildered me...he was a complete comic turn with a vast humorous arsenal at his command which included camp!

I went to around 6 or 7 recordings of Round the Horne at the BBC Paris studio in London and I saws him on the tube once, I never spoke to him as he seemed unapproachable , I did nod & he smiled back, he was probably happy that I did not point him out in front of the other passengers.

ProfessorBorax i do too but it depends ...it can be very boring. some others are more funny and enjoyable like the cockney and irish lilts. WHEN i lived overseas my american neighbour said I speak like the queen..wha? NOT ! That shows how americans live in such a bubble. I am not even western. I am a mixture of east and west and I live in asia buit we had some colonial rules until the 60s. I suppose it rubs off. I love british comedy...

He was a comic genious. But rambling sid rumpole left me cold. Stupid in the extreme, and relied on the same tired phrases every week coupled with well known tunes. Even as a small boy this section of the programme made me cringe!
