This is Part One of the three-part radio version of The Private World of Kenneth Williams, which includes some material not released on the BBC CD in 2004 as broadcast on BBC Radio 4 FM, 11 November 2003.
Part One takes Williams from his earliest diary entries in 1948, through his years in regional Rep, his legendary performance in Bernard Shaw's St. Joan, Moby Dick with Orson Welles, Hancock's Half Hour, Beyond Our Ken, the Carry On films and Gogol's Diary of a Madman. You will also hear Kenneth and Maggie Smith, on a night out at the trendy Soho comedy club The Establishment heckling a long-suffering Frankie Howerd.
David Benson came to public attention in 1996 with his critically acclaimed solo show 'Think No Evil of Us: My Life With Kenneth Williams'.
His first association with Williams, however, was when, as a thirteen-year old schoolboy, his entry to the 1975 Jackanory Story-writing Competition, 'The Rag and Bone Man', was chosen by Williams as one of the five he read on the programme that week.
