Hello, darlings! : the authorised biography of Kenny Everett
Hogg, James, 1937-2013
Books
Spontaneous, hilarious, irrepresible and, of course, trailblazing - Kenny Everett was revolutionary in television and radio comedy. Chris Evans, Chris Moyles, Rob Brydon and Steve Wright have all cited Kenny as a huge influence on their work - even the great Spike Milligan called him a genius. It was Kenny who developed the radio show format with which we are so familiar today: a mix of music, jingles, funny voices and sound effects. When he seamlessly made the move to television in the 70s, he created unforgettable characters such as Sid Snot, Cupid Stunt and Marcel Wave. This in-depth and affectionate biography has been fully authorised by Kenny's family and contains original interviews with Kenny's sister, Cate and with his former wife, Lee, as well as entertainment figures such as Barry Cryer, Bryan Ferry, Chris Tarrant and Paul Gambaccini.
