Just been sent a disc full of Kenny's shows from Thames TV from the late 70s.

Absolutely hilarious stuff which included on a regular basis the studio crew in hysterics at Kenny's antics. He totally deconstructed TV in those days and I still remember watching it through the living room door (was sent to bed early in those days!) and being amazed by it.

Why is TV so dull these days that talents such as Kenny can't come through any more with real anarchy and energy?

<<<< Why is TV so dull these days that talents such as Kenny can't come through any more with real anarchy and energy? >>>

All part of dumning down ... its the very same reason that the music business is in such a mess - absolutely no originality anymore.

Anyone who dared to be different these days would be immediately shown the door.

What labels are looking for is someone just like << fill in here whoever is this week's biggest climber >>>

Where are the pioneers? The Phil Spectors / Joe Meeks / Mickie Mosts / Berry Gordys / Andrew Oldhams (and dare I say it) JK's ?

Where are the new Dylans / Lennons / McCartneys ?

Where the the likes of Joe Cocker / Ozzy Osbourne (well he WAS different !) / Boy George / Adam Ant ?Jerry Garcia / Frank Zappa ?

What you WILL get is Ray winning X Factor (sounding not too dis-similar to whoever won it last year) !

Don't worry MM I'm still here and more creatively dangerous than ever before!

Ahaaa! The days went quiet because Hot Gossip were on.

Kenny Everet did seem to think the way to get away with something you shouldn't do, is do something you really shouldn't do.

Shock them into submission... cool.

Oh yes, and nearly every week he managed to have a pop at Mary Whitehouse!

The man that made me laugh the loudest many funny sketches Sid Snot and who can remember the gross DIY sketch or the Beegees home kit.

not just a comedian he was TV personality, DJ, friends with alot of people.

I still wish he was here today.
