Acquire Today Hello, Darlings!: The Authorized Biography Of Kenny Everett Fashioned By James Hogg Available Through Kindle

researched and excellent biography of cuddly ken, Focused very much on his true work of genius which was the wireless, The last chapter was truly touching, Best biography I've read in a long time, I loved Kenny, as a child I watched him and he was very much part of my life growing up.
This book gave quite a good insight to the complicated man behind the personna, Many people could accuse the book of being one sided, but I don't agree, Okay so it doesn't go in to much detail of his private life and there is no real mention of people like Cleo Rocos, but I think that is a good thing.
To be honest we really have no right to know the nitty gritty of the man, after all we only got to see the clown side of him.
However it does not angelify him, we know he was conflicted and desperately troubled, but aren't most highly gifted people I found it a very satisfying insight to him that made me laugh and cry.
It is well written with plenty anecdotes from those who knew him best and I do truly believe them when they said no one had anything bad to say about him.
If you loved Kenny, this is definitely the book to read, it even brought back to my mind things I had forgotten about him and his programmes, Well researched, mostly well written portrayal of a complex man, The history of pirate radio and the beginnings of Radio One is fascinating, Excess of exclamation marks somehow detracts from the story and sometimes makes the story 'folksy',WORD REVIEW:

Kenny Everett once wrote an autobiography or rather, he didnt, It was ghostwritten by a friend and Kenny didnt even read it, He wasnt interested in the past, For those who are, Hogg and Sellers comprehensively researched biography is well worth reading, As someone who grew up watching Kenny Everett on the BBC, it was nice to learn more about him what made him tick to a certain extent, I know that there will be people who say that this book was somewhat sanitised, but for me, it was a good book,

For those who have not been lucky enough to see such comic classics such as the Rod Stewart sketch, this book may not make much sense, but to those of us who grew up either watching or listening to Kenny, it's a sensitively written book, and towards the end, I don't mind admitting to shedding a few tears.
Lovely book, written with love and affection for Kenny E, The book itself splits you in two, Smiling, beaming at the absurdity of the comic capers, Heart broken and frustrated that such a talent and decent chap got himself into such a existential culdesac, Spontaneous, hilarious, irrepressible 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 seventies, he created unforgettable characters such as Sid Snot, Cupid Stunt and Marcel Wave,





Rarely seen without a smile on his face in public, in reality, Kenny was a deeply insecure man who suffered severe bouts of depression.
He also struggled with his sexuality, only coming out to the public in, Diagnosed with HIV in, Kenny died in,





This indepth and affectionate biography has been fully authorised by Kenny's family and contains original interviews with Kenny's sister, Kate and with his former wife, Lee, as well as entertainment figures such as Barry Cryer, Cliff Richard, Chris Tarrant and Paul Gambaccini.
Packed with fabulous stories about the highs and lows of Kenny's life, his great friendships with The Beatles and Freddie Mercury, this is a book that any fan of comedy and entertainment must read.
An interesting insight to life of Kenny Everett, Must admit I wasn't that much of a fan, but did appreciate some of his humour and will applaud his technical achievements on radio presentation when tape was king and nobody had heard of digital recording.
A pioneer in the art of presentation, much copied, but never bettered, Librarian note: There is than one author in the Goodreads database with this name, JamesHogg.
