The Kenneth Williams Companion

The definitive guide to the career of Kenneth Williams is now available in a revised and updated paperback edition.

Kenneth Williams was a unique figure in the history of British entertainment, known for his distinctive voice, flamboyant personality, and iconic performances in film, television, and radio. He is perhaps best remembered as one of the core members of the Carry On… team, or on radio as Julian’s friend Sandy in Round the Horne. But there was so much more to his career, and The Kenneth Williams Companion documents every facet of it in loving detail.

Author Adam Endacott is a lifelong Williams fan, having collected everything Kenneth since 1988 – from stills and programmes to action figures and plates. In around 1998, he began to compile comprehensive lists of Kenneth’s film, radio and television appearances. The result of this quarter-century of work is now available as The Kenneth Williams Companion – a complete reference work for Kenneth’s career on stage, radio, film, television and in the recording studio as an actor, presenter, comedian, broadcaster, raconteur, director, writer and author. It is not a biography; rather, it is the first and only book to document Williams’s complete career, packed with behind-the-scenes information and anecdotes from those who knew and worked with Kenneth.

The book was originally published by Fantom in 2018; but since then more long-lost clips, recordings and trivia have come to light, and for the paperback release Adam Endacott has taken the opportunity to include every last scrap of newly discovered information.

At over 700 pages and including many rare photographs, this large-format paperback is the perfect companion for all fans of Kenneth Williams and his 40-year career.

The book is available priced £29.99 however for a short period you can order direct from Fantom at a bargain price of £22.99 plus postage. The book is available now for immediate dispatch!
