Cult Figure: Kenneth Williams

T1093281857
Kenneth Williams is undoubtedly one of the most recognisable faces (and voices) in British comedy history. A household name thanks to his work on Hancock's Half Hour, Round the Horne and a staggering twenty-five Carry On films, his career is the stuff of comedy legend. Aside from these wonderfully written films and programmes, Williams was just as comfortable entertaining in his own words, be it on Just a Minute or the many chat shows on which he was a frequent and masterful guest.
