"Honest vulgarity is the central tradition of English humour" (Kenneth Williams) Kenneth Charles Williams was born at St Pancras Hospital, London on February 22nd 1926. Kenny will certainly be remembered best for his 26 appearances in the 31 'Carry On' movies; along with Sid James (who appeared in 19 of the films) he will be constantly recognised as a King of British Comedy. But there was far more to Kenneth than just the seaside postcard humour of 'Carry On' <a href="https://www.last.fm/music/

Quotes
- “Living with someone always means a denial of self in SOME way and I suppose I have always known it was something I couldn't accomplish. So I've always stayed on the sidelines. Getting the pleasure vicariously. It's not wholly satisfactory, but then of course no lives are, and you know what I think about indiscriminate sex and promiscuous trade. I think it's the beginning of a long, long road to despair.”
- “All problems have to be solved eventually by ONESELF, and that's where all your lovely John Donne stuff turns out to be a load of crap because, in the last analysis, A MAN IS AN ISLAND”
- “It's frightening to think with modern medicine and all the technique available to them they can't really help you. In the old days, you know, you were better off because nowadays, they are all specialists. Everyone's becoming better and better at less and less. Eventually someone's going to be superb, at nothing.”
- “Oh – what's the bloody point?”
