I'm sorry but I disagree with the above comment. Although I wasn't particularly a "fan" of Kenny Everett - and I think he was "before his time" and was very zany, creative and imaginative. The actor/writer Oliver Lansley, who portrayed him, was AWESOME in my opinion!! I thought he gave a sterling performance - so much so you could almost believe it was Kenny himself! Brilliant!

Oliver Landsley - I agree with Kara. Awesome!!! I was a fan of Kenny Everett from the early 70's onwards - and watching this I really though I was watching Cuddly Ken....... Thanks to the BBC - I reckon you have earned my licence fee money with this one drama.....
