Kenneth Williams: Desperately Funny (1998x4)

: 01, 1998

Concluding the two-part profile of Kenneth Williams , one of Britain's best-loved comics. Tonight's programme picks up the story in the mid-sixties, when Williams's presence on stage, screen and radio had made him a household name. But, as his chat-show appearances demonstrate, his greatest comic creation was his own persona, as gradually he began turning his own character into part of his act.
