Feature on Think No Evil of Us, then on its first National Tour. Recorded at Norwich Playhouse
I was delighted to lend my Kenneth for this satire of the current banking scam, made by the lovely people at iball.com. It was fun to do and is almost as awful as the real thing.
I was asked on to talk about Kenneth Williams with reference to the film Fantabulosa, premiering that night on BBC4. Dear Barry Cryer was a joy to meet and I was very glad he was with me for the segment.
With Stewart Nicholls, Piano Filmed by Alison Roberts at the same show in which her son Brad joined me for Mad Dogs. There are a couple of lyric flubs but it had been a long day, I'm sorry. I dance too. Filmed at Court Theatre, Tring 8-2-09

I was delighted welcome on stage recently my youngest fan, Noel Coward enthusiast Brad Roberts, to join Stewart Nicholls and myself in this Coward classic. He did an excellent job as I am sure you will agree! From my show David Benson Sings Noel Coward (see Tour Dates)
Short extract from Cal McCrystal's typically outrageous production of the Orton classic. This clip highlights Matt Baynton's hysterical entrance as Meadows, still in his costume as the dead mother. I played Inspector Truscott (mostly off-screen here alas!) Lucy Montgomery, James Bachman, Clive Mendus and Matt Green are also on-stage.
Short documentary feature about Kenneth's involvement as a regular storyteller on the children's television programme Jackanory. It also contains a contribution by the marvellous David Benson.
