Corbett) investigates a mad professor (Kenneth Williams) and his

Hawtrey, Jim Dale, Joan Sims and Fenella Fielding.
The role of capital punishment in America has been criticised by
those for and against the death penalty, by the judiciary,
academics, the media and by prison personnel. This book
demonstrates that it is the inconsistent and often incoherent
jurisprudence of the United States Supreme Court which accounts for
a system so lacking in public confidence. Using case studies,
Kenneth Williams examines issues such as jury selection,
ineffective assistance of counsel, the role of race and claims of
innocence which affect the Court's decisions and how these
decisions are played out in the lower courts, often an inmate's
last recourse before execution. Discussing international treaties
and their lack of impact on capital punishment in America, this
book has international appeal and makes an important contribution
to legal scholarship. It also provides a unique understanding of
the dynamics of an alarmingly problematic system and will be
valuable to those interested in human rights and criminal justice.

Since their discovery 25 years ago, fungal viruses have created a
new field of study in mycology and virology. The purpose of this
book is not only to serve as a useful reference work but also to
provide reviews of the important advances which have taken place
since the last books on fungal viruses appeared. An introductory
chapter gives a critical overview of fungal virology in the context
of virology as a whole and of recent developments in molecular
biology. Specialist chapters follow, all written by experts who are
currently active in fungal virus research and cover ongoing
research areas.
Following the bestselling publication of THE KENNETH WILLIAMS
DIARIES, the devastating self-portrait of one of our most loved and
complex performers is completed with this marvellous selection of
his letters. This is a wonderful treasure trove of correspondence
with all manner of people, including Alec Guinness, Maggie Smith,
Joe Orton, Richard Burton and Elizabeth Taylor, and the Stokers'
Mess of HMS Leverton. Kenneth Williams took letters very seriously,
and he was always disgusted by a morning that failed to provide him
with some material to pore over. Letters called forth the performer
in Williams in a way that his diaries never did: many of them are
virtual comic monologues, and in general they suggest more strongly
than the diaries the likeable and constructive side of a man who
remains, nevertheless, as outrageous and 'difficult' as ever.
‘I’ll put you in my diary!’ comedian Kenneth Williams was
known to threaten on occasion, although tantalisingly he kept the
journal to himself during his lifetime. Here at last, in one
spellbinding volume, are four million words of it. For more than
forty years, from his sixteenth birthday until the eve of his
unexpected death in 1988, the beloved actor and outrageous ‘Carry
On’ star Kenneth Williams kept a candid diary. Devastatingly
honest about himself, he is equally unsparing in his verdicts on
his fellow man. In his descriptions of Tony Hancock, Maggie Smith,
Joe Orton and countless others, his waspish sense of humour, love
of anecdote and ear for dialogue are given full rein. Malicious,
hilarious and harrowing, ‘The Kenneth Williams Diaries’ are a
unique portrait of one of Britain’s most popular – and most
misunderstood – performers.
Eleventh entry in the 'Carry On' series. Marshall P. Knutt (Jim
Dale), a former sanitary engineer, becomes the sheriff of Stodge
City in the Wild West and must help a young woman beat the Rumpo
Kid (Sid James), the outlaw who shot her father. Those getting off
their horses and drinking their milk include Kenneth Williams,
Charles Hawtrey, Joan Sims and Bernard Bresslaw (making his 'Carry
On' debut).

Tommy Steele plays a sailor who, on shore leave in Seville, takes
the place of a recently arrested matador at a local bullfight.
The first four films from the hugely popular 'Carry On' series. In
'Carry On Sergeant' (1958), a sergeant (William Hartnell) takes a
bet that the last recruits he trains will win the 'Star Squad'
award. The sergeant's inept young charges include Bob Monkhouse,
Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Kenneth Connor. In 'Carry On
Teacher' (1959), trouble erupts at a secondary school when
inspectors arrive to evaluate the teachers' work. A group of pupils
(led by a youthful Richard O'Sullivan) who don't want their teacher
transferred to a different job play up. In 'Carry On Nurse' (1959),
the patients in a men's hospital ward decide to revolt against the
staff, as led by the indomitable Matron (Hattie Jacques). Finally,
in 'Carry On Constable' (1959), police sergeant Wilkins (Sid James)
has a new batch of dubious recruits on his hands, whose idea of
covert surveillance involves dressing up in drag.

Kenneth Horne, Kenneth Williams, Betty Marsden and Hugh Paddick
star in 16 episodes of the anarchic 1960s radio comedy. Round the
Horne arrived on BBC radio in 1965, bringing laughter to Sunday
lunchtimes throughout the land. Over the course of sixteen weekly
episodes it carved a niche in the history of broadcast comedy, a
sketch show which prodded the boundaries of propriety and innuendo.
At its heart was the suave and upstanding Kenneth Horne, around
which revolved the multiple naughty personas of Kenneth Williams,
Betty Marsden, Hugh Paddick and Bill Pertwee. Among the parade of
regular characters were Julian and Sandy, the camp couple of
resting thespians happy to turn their hands to anything, Rambling
Syd Rumbo the musical cordwangler, Fiona and Charles the passionate
duo, and J. Peasemold Gruntfuttock the world's dirtiest man.
Meanwhile regular film parodies, spoof sagas and musical interludes
peppered the mix. Round the Horne earned its place in the annals of
comedy history, and is fondly remembered today as a groundbreaking
series that influenced many more to come. Here the entire first
series can be enjoyed once again, along with a PDF booklet
featuring cast biographies and a full series history. 8 CDs. 8 hrs
21 mins.
The Best of Round the Horne stars Kenneth Horne, 'the uncrowned
head of the show'; Kenneth Williams, who played Rambling Syd Rumpo,
Gruntfuttock, Sandy and Dr. Chou en Ginsberg M.A. (Failed); Hugh

Marsden (Daphne Whitethigh and terribly, terribly affected Fiona);
and Bill Pertwee (Jocelyn Pettibone and two thinly disguised

classic albums first available as BBC LPs, now on CD for the first
time ever. This recording was previously released on LP in 1975,
and subsequently on the cassette Round the Horne Volume 1. 1 CD. 45

when it comes to choosing the soloist, Geraint's choice of Mrs.

It's non-stop romps as the Carry On team deliver the goods in one of the rudest and funniest of the Carry On films.
The cast are all on top form as a bunch of no-hopers who join an agency in search of a job.
The anarchy mounts as they do a series of odd jobs, including a chimps' tea-party, trying to stay sober at a wine-tasting and demolishing a house.
