Kenny was great. I used to watch his TV show every night on video when I was younger. I didn't get most of his jokes at that age but I just loved his personality.

Here's Kenny (Archive Hour)
Broadcast on BBC Radio 4
Saturday 22 November 2008 20:00-21:00

On the 40th anniversary of Kenny Everett's first BBC Radio 1 show, music journalist Mark Paytress reassesses the pioneering audio work of the DJ and looks at his place in broadcasting history.

Through interviews and an unprecedented collection of extremely rare archive material, Here's Kenny explores Everett's colourful presenting style and lifts the lid on the broadcaster's true private passion.

Everyone remembers Kenny Everett as a funny-man of the airwaves and television, whose confused private life took a tragic turn when he was diagnosed with Aids in 1993. He died two years later. Few know him as the extraordinary radio pioneer who would spend days at home creating wonderfully original jingles and trailers using techniques that were familiar only to avant-garde musicians and, much later, sampler fiends and hip-hop producers. His extraordinary approach to his work also came to the attention of The Beatles, who later invited him to "produce" two of the most avant-garde (and little heard) records in their catalogue.

Interviewees featured in the programme include Tony Blackburn, Keith Skues, pirate radio fans Chris Dannatt, Chris Baird, Stuart Russell and Jon Myer, and Beatles expert Richard Porter.

Presenter/Mark Paytress, Producer/Sian Price

This is wonderful. KE from his Radio One show in 1969 demonstrates how The Beatles did the vocal parts for Julia off The White Album

Kenny Everett's TV show was awesome. I was just a teenager and to see Hot Gossip onscreen was, well, you know...
A lot of his skits were quite racy for the time too. Captain Kremmen was brilliant!

He was responsible for Bohemian Rhapsody being a huge hit too.

Loved the Julia clip! And Bill Wyman was game for a laugh doing that impression of Mick Jagger!  ha2ha

I used to watch the Kenny Everett show avidly, can't believe it was family viewing back then.  I wouldn't sit my kids down to watch it now! What a prude I am.

The Kenny Everett radio doc from 2008, mentioned above, got a repeat on BBC 4 Extra at the weekend.

The guy was an absolute genius, one of the very few in popular culture, and was every bit on the cutting edge of youth in the 60s as The Beatles, The Stones and Bob Dylan.

It's a travesty that the Xmas flexis, two of which were virtually Everett/Beatles productions, have never been officially released on CD.
If we live in a world where huge box sets of 'Wings At The Speed of Sound' can exist, there must be room for a 1-CD release of 'From Then To Us'!

It gets better though, BBC 4 Extra is airing the first of 25 episodes of 'Captain Kremmen' tonight.
