Well I've ordered the book below from my local library - I should be able to tell you about it in a couple of wekks.

Synopsis
For more than 40 years broadcaster and comedian Kenneth Williams kept a journal of his experiences - this book is a one-volume selection of these diaries. In addition to offering conclusive evidence as to the nature of Williams' death in 1988, the diaries reveal a side to his character that many suspected but only few understood. The diaries look at his own tortured sexuality, his relationship with Louie his mother, his thoughts on religion and his verdicts on friends and colleagues such as Noel Coward, Tony Hancock, Sheila Hancock, Maggie Smith and Joe Orton.

my goodness, such harshness, well at least now we know his own
antagonism towards Aimi is genuine. I can't believe he felt that
strongly about her, doesn't seem right ya know, she added such great
comedic value to the program, which is really what its all about, I
guess he really bought into Aimi's dumb blonde act

if you ever have a chance robert look for the kenneth williams
diaries i think it is edit by russel davies . i have not read all of
the book as i came across it in a local library but in the bits i have
you'll soon see sadly he had not got very many good things to say
about anyone . he comes acorss as a very frustrated man . serious and
highly inteligent yet stuck as a comedy performer , frustared about
his sexuality . i think he was a very complex man .

cheers
Linda
