Marvellous interview by the terrific Mavis, Kenny was such a great man, so missed...

I want this interview to go on forever.

Thanks for sharing this. We live in his house in Wales and it's lovely to see him talk about his life here. His recording studio is still above the cow shed, I must look under the floorboards and see if we can find that valve. Such a great talent, taken too soon.

One of my childhood heroes.......Still makes me cry with laughter.......A crying shame that he was crucified by the gutter press........

His comedic thought process was definitely on a higher level then most; very similar to Robin Williams.

Now that’s how to interview someone, and what a bloody lovely someone Kenny was ❤️😎

I love Kenny, a liberal thinker but not a lefty, a gay but not a lisping whoospsy, a part of the 'establishment' but not hive-minded, a true individual, taught my generation to think outside the box and now we're all grown up in a world that only thinks in boxes

He's so much more assured here than in the interview in his country home. Mavis really draws him out of himself, he's really honest and vulnerable here. And he's so right about Sessions. I'm sure his diagnosis this year knocked him for six, AIDs took far too many wonderful people, famous, and not famous.

Taken too soon. An absolute legend. ❤️

The really sad thing was that the real reason for him dropping television was almost certainly because he knew the journey he was on with AIDS and that he didn't want that journey to be seen on TV. He was a truly wonderful man and a great loss to a shitty disease.

What an interesting fella was Kenny. Still sadly missed.

Very candid interview, I always loved Kenny's radio and TV shows, he is greatly missed.

When radio DJs were icons and so were interviewers. How things have changed.

Thank you for posting this 👍😘

Amazing interview, Kenny was such a talented yet humble guy. He was ever present on TV or the radio for me growing up. I absolutely adored his Captain Kremmen radio series. He was taken away from us way to soon.

TV like this is long gone, sadly......

What a wonderful interviewer Mavis was. She let her interviewees talk on but would always come back at them with a pertinent question, to prove she had been listening all along. Kenny was wonderful too; he deserved better from 'the press'.

I loved the Kenny and Cash combine on pirate Ship Radio London…I was a massive fan from that time onwards…so sorry when he passed way to early for such a talent, living in Australia it was a while before the news filtered through…😢😢

Sadly missed. How far we have fallen when you compare what we were lucky to have then compare to what we have now.

Absolutely brilliant, Kenny was such a natural comedian and a truly talented broadcaster, wonderful to have interviews like this one preserved, keeping his memory alive.

When he was on form he was brilliant... much missed!

What a legend and what a great interview. He was such a funny bloke and very original. Great upload. 👍🏻👏👍🏻👏👍🏻

Such a truthful interview.

what a gem this is. I lived in London when this was on and missed seeing it, probably on night shift. He was such a great wit. and its so sad he died the way he did but that was his lifestyle at a time when AIDS treatment was in its infancy.

Incredibly touching and moving.

Genius. Such a clever person.

Quite a beautiful interview in its own way. A bit sad also.

Tragic such a shy genius ripped to bit by UK society ..he is still making people laugh to this day. Years ahead of his time ..RIP and respect to Mr Everett

Kenny was so sweet and lovely, much missed

Life is all memory 💙💚

Always loved Kenny as a kid: so funny and zany and you could he was a lovely genuine bloke: gone too soon.

Kenny Everitt was great such comedic talent sadly missed! I wish he was still around I loved his shows and him ripping through the Thames TV ident. Taken too doon from this world!

Mavis was such a great interviewer, so much better than Parky, she never got enough credit!

What lovely man. Hes being very candid. I loved him in thecearly 80s with his tv show.

I absolutely loved his show when I was young. Hilarious !

I miss the level of content he did, the effort he put into his shows. i wish there was ONE PERSON with his originality and style.

RIP, you lovely, GENIUS man ❤️

Technics SP10 turntables too!

Oh bless him, I grew up with his comedy but never seen this before!

What a wonderful human being he was! KE has the ability to make me d sad mil and feel sad at the same time. He was such a great comedic force but gone way too soon. ❤️❤️❤️

He was so ahead of his time. Watched him the 80s but it wasnt till i was older i realised just how good he was. Came from just down rhe road from me

uk tv gold has introduced me to this crazy dude

Mavis Nicholson's interviews were great. Check out one she did with Kenneth Williams.

He was way ahead of his time. A Genius of Radio and Television back in the day. Sadly missed by many including me.

Kenny was an extremely talented guy

all done, as per ... in the best possible taste

Exceptionally nice chap.

EMS Vocoder 1000 behind kenny !

I miss this guy.

What a nice face he had, naughty little boy smile. Still rememberd foundly💛💕

Brilliant interview with Cuddly Ken

Best British Comedian

What a great man.

Kenny rules. ❤

Attack as defence. That's what it was like and it was exhausting. It really still is.

Where on earth did he keep putting his left hand?!?!?!

He’s very cute too ❤

Unfortunately Mavis Nicholson recently died aged 91 on the 8th September 2022

thoroughly nice guy

RIP Mavis.

She was digging and a didn't see the irony in many of his responses but she also did well and what an enjoyable man. I'd like to kiss him with tongues

1:58 She was on point back then with that statement. Cost of living crisis hasn’t changed much.

Half an hour of AfterNoon Plus, Pebble Mill, Look Whos Talking, good days. Now you got ten minutes with Phil,n,Holly, plug yer show ,tell anecdote ,gerroff!

What a beautiful talent full of self doubt. You can hear he's on the same level of some of the top tier comedians and impressionists, he can just break into anything at a moment. Such a sweet and creative man. He's in the same tier as Cooke and Moore, Chapman and Cleese, Sellars and Milligan. And Kenneth fucking Williams. And he had the enthusiasm and smarts to take advantage of technology, (Cook was experimenting with tape based things) all good artists push the boundaries and find new and interesting ways to express themselves. Bowie did it too. Good artists never give up and never fail. Even aging Groucho Marx could utterly destroy people with razor sharp, clever stuff that wasn't nasty. Kenny is a lost talent. And you can see his neverousness here, he's got to the point some of us do, where it's simply dealing with things. I'm farily fucking rock and roll, but even I've noticed he's drinking scotch or something the interview is not that long. He's noticeably "relaxed." And I"m not saying that's necessarily a bad thing, but you can identify it. You see it with Cook a bit. Doesn't slow him down at all. He's sharp as fuck, but still, why? IT's for some reason. He's dealing with shit. A complex and beautiful man, very missed.

His radio days up until the early 1970s were pure gold, tailed off a little after that. What shame he squandered so much of his time on TV work, the pictures were far better on his radio shows! IMO his TV stuff was simply doing more extreme versions of Dick Emery, Monty Pyhthon and Benny Hill - almost nothing original about it.

Kenny's appearance at the 1983 tory conference was mentioned on his appearance in 1989 on Ireland's Late Late Show. Kenny clarified that he was certainly "not a full tory" and that he would stand up for gay rights against Thatcher's anti-gay Section 28 legislation.

I listened to him on Capitol in the late 70s when I was 9, 10, 11, 12. He added levity to the day. Typical bit: "Henry the 8th was buried 500 years ago today....I bet he niffs."

Never understood the thrall of Parkinson. Mavis knocks spots off him in every aspect of interviewing.

STILL miss ya cuddly..

Here’s hoping you did get to heaven as you hoped Ken.

Do you regret coming out? ... do you think the papers treated you badly? It's an interesting approach to questioning. Of course they treated him badly.

Kenny was a heavy user of cocaine at this point and fighting AIDS……..bless him 😢

The man who coined the phrase Aunty BBC,now it's an embarrassing Uncle

Don't make em like Kenny. When life and opinions wasn't scrutinised. It was so much better.

Grocery stores are not cheap now!!!God did take you away too soon ✌️

He was special.
