A man's life falls apart as a result of his affliction with Obsessive Compulsive Disorder and Tourette's Syndrome in this touching and funny tale. The relationship with his mother is closer to Norman Bates and his than anything I've ever seen outside of a horror movie. Februar 1926 in London; 15.
From his early appearance on stage dressed as a girl as a child, Williams was always one for the limelight and always a rather, well, mincing character. 3 out of 4 found this helpful.
The conflict between the public and private faces of Williams and the pressure he was under is illuminated in a way that even those who knew something about him would be surprised. A salesman starts to run a hospital radio station inside a facility for people with mental heath needs. 19 out of 19 found this helpful. Let me start off saying that I'm not a big fan of gay-themed movies. 29 of 31 people found this review helpful. Was this review helpful? A lot of my childhood was spent lying in front of the wireless listening to Round the Horne or Hancock's Half Hour or watching Carry On films.

This production did not disappoint - Michael Sheen transformed himself almost magically into Kenneth Williams, and gave a performance that was as tragically moving as it was skillful.
Two brothers return to Ireland in search of their sweetheart. Michael Sheen shines like the afternoon sun in this brilliant portrayal of a comic genius.
Based on material appearing in the KENNETH WILLIAMD DIARIES, FANTABULOSA!
I don't know how he does it, but every performance I have seen Michael give he seems to metamorphose until the character he plays is truly, utterly believable, and no matter how hard I try I cannot fault him. Martyn Hesford's comedy-drama about the life and times of tortured comic It is all about the life of Carry On actor Kenneth Williams (Michael Sheen), based on his diaries. Recommended, but it's tragi-comic, indeed. He looks completely physically different in this role, from any other role I have seen him in or as himself.
Cheryl Campbell plays Williams's mother, Lou. 4 out of 12 found this helpful.

I had seen tiny bits of this programme a couple of times, and I recognised the actor who played Tony Blair in The Queen, so I thought I might as well give it a go. 3.7 out of 5. is a 2006 BBC Four television play starring Michael Sheen as the English comic actor Kenneth Williams, based on Williams' own diaries. a man desperate for love who pushes away any advances that may bring him a moments fleeting happiness. An unassuming but thoroughly satisfying film that looks at the fascinating man behind the pursed lips and waspish tongue we all know from the Carry On films. Finicky,hygiene-obsessed comic actor Kenneth Williams,living in a flat block with mutually adoring mother Louie,looks back on his life. Expelled from his local darts team, a mild mannered newsagent rushes across the country to the final on his own. This is the story of a young man who feels such indebtedness to another young man after he is saved from committing suicide... Thoroughly out of step. Was this review helpful?
This is a "docu-drama" of (mostly) the later years of KW's life, with nearly all the parts played by actors (but spot which TV quartermaster plays himself!). It is all about the life of Carry On actor Kenneth Williams (Michael Sheen), based on his diaries. Privately he is a tormented closet gay,sickened by his sexuality,unlike his friend,promiscuous playwright Joe Orton,and desperately asks his 'Carry On' co-star Joan Sims for a show marriage,which she refuses. KW is ably played by the excellent Michael Sheen, here repeating his previous stage role with great success. With Michael Sheen, Cheryl Campbell, Peter Wight, Beatie Edney. 3 out of 3 found this helpful. 4 out of 4 found this helpful. Sheen stresses the performative side of the character, fond of gazing at himself in the mirror and preening himself. Dramatisation of the love affair between Sidney James and Barbara Windsor, played out against the backdrop of the 'Carry On' films during the 1960s and 1970s.

STAR RATING: ***** Saturday Night **** Friday Night *** Friday Morning ** Sunday Night * Monday Morning I personally preferred the performance of Williams by Charie and the Chocolate Factory's Adam Godley in Cor, Blimey!, but Sheen does alright, and I suppose it is worth a look.
