Episode 16 | Kenneth Williams: Faith, Fun and Fiction

To celebrate 100 years since the birth of Kenneth Williams, Bill Holland, author of Beyond Our Kenneth: The Continued Diaries discusses Williams' beliefs, friendships, anecdotes and a fictional future with Gyles Brandreth and the Dean of Southwark. The evening explores Williams’ Christian faith, upbringing as a Wesleyan, and the way faith, love, friendship, work, loneliness, and guilt intersected in his life. Kenneth Williams was one of the most distinctive voices in British entertainment, remembered for his scene-stealing turns in the Carry On films, his razor-sharp wit on radio's Just a Minute, and his memorable chat show appearances. His real diaries, published posthumously, captivated generations with their candour, humour and poignancy, ending abruptly with his final entry in 1988.
