The Comedy Café - 15/10/2010

Star of the Carry On films, acclaimed on the West End stage and for a host of classic radio characters, Kenneth Williams is one of Britain's best loved performers. Now, with exclusive access to new material, the first authorised biography of his life sheds new light on the complex contradictions that characterised William's extraordinary life. In "Born Brilliant: The Life of Kenneth Williams" author Christopher Stevens presents a fresh portrait of the comic actor. Animated film "Despicable Me" features three orphan girls who melt the heart of an evil super-villain when they view him as potential father material. So we sent father and daughter team, Bruce and Zoe Fummey, to give their verdict on what makes a good father figure - and a model daughter! What accounts for the popularity of comedy podcasts? With their weekly podcast gathering devotees at a rapid rate we put it to mother and daughter duo Janey Godley and Ashley Storrie.
