Popular Post Xela Posted August 11, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 11, 2021 I spend a lot of time on Rightmove/Zoopla looking at properties that would suit me, when I decide to move on from here. I use quite a big search area (100 miles or so from here). If I see a property I like, in a village, i'll have a mooch around the roads and lanes on Streetview and if i still like, I'll pay it a visit one day and stay in the local pub/B&B if possible. This cheers me up Due to lockdown, got a few places I want to see now! These are villages you would never see otherwise. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Seat68 Posted August 12, 2021 Popular Post Share Posted August 12, 2021 3 hours ago, MNVillan said: Who the **** is this guy? I see him everywhere on here and have been too afraid to ask How best to explain. He is Kenneth Williams, a comic actor on both radio and film. Most widely known for being in a series of films called the Carry On series (carry on doctor, carry on Henry etc). They were relatively popular in the 60s and 70s and full of old fashioned double entendres. Kenneth William in particular when hearing a double entendre would pull a face or sometimes look to camera to acknowledge it. He was also gay so full of innuendo from that too. He is considered, rightly, by some as a comedy legend. This is an example of Kenneth in action. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think it plays a lot into his charm and his persona. It didn't really influence his characters too much in the Carry on films, they were usually asexual or the object of unwanted female desire. But Round the Horne and particularly Julian and Sandy is where his rumoured sexuality became relevant. I read that he led a fairly celibate life.

Quite a few were based in hospitals. Carry on Matron, Carry on Doctor, Carry on Nurse with Hattie Jacques usually playing a Matron opposite KW who would say "Oh Matron" after something saucy sounding had occurred.

But Round the Horne and particularly Julian and Sandy is where his rumoured sexuality became relevant. I read that he led a fairly celibate life. Wiki's claims: 'Williams said that he was celibate and his diaries appear to substantiate his claims—at least from his early forties onwards. He lived alone all his adult life and had few close companions apart from his mother, and no significant romantic relationships. His diaries contain references to unconsummated or barely consummated homosexual dalliances, which he describes as "traditional matters" or "tradiola". He befriended gay playwright Joe Orton, who wrote the role of Inspector Truscott in Loot (1966) for him, and had holidays with Orton and his lover, Kenneth Halliwell, in Morocco.' from: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Kenneth_Williams#Personal_life_and_death Now on the one hand here we have 'unconsummated or barely consummated homosexual dalliance', and then on the other we have 'holidays with Joe Orton and Kenneth Halliwell in Morocco'. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The 70s were a strange time. TV was full of "camp" gay characters like John Inman and Kenneth Williams. But the papers would regularly "out" someone as being gay and portray it as shameful. But Morecombe and Wise could share a bed together on TV and no-one gave it a second thought. If someone was outed by the press it could mean they would never work again. Williams' biography is undoubtedly written with his own viewpoint and in a manner that protected his career.

Phil Silvers Posted August 12, 2021 Share Posted August 12, 2021 KW was a talkshow hosts dream back in the 70/80s, arguably bested only by Peter Ustinov. Both absolutely blessed at spinning a yarn. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
