I think the world is both funny and sad, which seems to me to be the two basic ingredients of good comedy.
The character I play isn't a character I put on and off like a coat.
It is part of me and a part of everyone else I see.
Tony Hancock 1960

Evening viewing recommendation? On @criterionchannl, watch Hal Ashby's HAROLD AND MAUDE (1971). ❤️ Equal parts gallows humor and romantic innocence, Ashby's film dissolves the line between darkness and light along with the ones that separate people by class, gender, and age, and it features indelible performances and a remarkable soundtrack by Cat Stevens.

@AbbaFan102 I'm sure you probably have these, a good start!

A treat from my archive...
Kenneth talks about his time on Round the Horne.

@rickblackman01 Michael's a lovely man, spent some great time in his company hearing tales of Kenneth.

Remembering Kenneth Williams today.
Between part of my collection sits a treasured gift from Kenneth's dear friend, Michael Whittaker - Kenneth as the Khasi from 'Up the Khyber.'

I loved working on this, an absolute treat for me. If you haven't heard it then beg, borrow or buy a copy now! The is still the best cover art in my opinion, my favourite photo of Kenneth.

@GylesB1 @therosebudpod Wonderful, Gyles, really looking forward to this. I’ve been fortunate to work on several projects that celebrated the life and work of Kenneth.

I'm no good at tossing, at all.

@wearejames First time I heard this track was at the recording of 'One Man Clapping' at Moles Club in Bath. It just took on another level of greatness and soared. Great artwork by Central Station.

@carryontitterin 😂 Great contest!
May as well take a break until the next one...

[Balloons Need Help @BalloonsNHelp]

@carryontitterin Unfortunately, like many, it didn't make the A-Z book!

@Classicbritcom I had a brief chat with Quentin at the BBC, he was curious as to why I was there to talk about Rising Damp..and whether we were on the same show! Very nice chap, enjoyed his work on Top Gear.

@carryontitterin Well, we may as well do something before the announcement.
