[El Gordo]

Interesting that you should mention KW -- for me, he was also the star of the two Hancock episodes I listened to, ranging from a US Colonel sounding like Elvis on 33 rpm in "The Americans" to a daft postman in full "stop messing about!" mode in "The New Secretary".

I saw an ISIHAC recording at Wycombe a few years back - indeed, a fantastic evening's entertainment.

Regarding the costume - you're not wrong. All local physical retailers have failed to come up trumps (> £100 to purchase) so it's off to the virtual stores on eBay. There's a likely candidate, but there will of course be an element of risk with regards to quality, size and general suitability. ("It wasn't bright green in the picture!")

One of the most interesting books I've ever read is The Kenneth Williams Diaries, edited by Russell Davies. A truly fascinating trawl through Britain from the 1940s through to the 1980s. I was indifferent to Williams before I read the book, but since then, hmmm, obsessed, I'd say. Not a vice I've admitted to over the last 9 years.
