The Kenneth Williams admiration club is set to meet, and it's murder in San Francisco.

The Kenneth Williams admiration club is set to meet, and it's murder in San Francisco. With Hugh Paddick and Joan Sims. From May 1969.

Kenneth Williams' admirers are set to meet, some nautical polari - and it's murder in San Francisco.

Starring:

Kenneth Williams
Hugh Paddick
Joan Sims

Announcer: Douglas Smith.

After the unexpected death of Kenneth Horne in 1969, plans for the next series of Round The Horne were axed. Instead - using an old catchphrase of Kenneth Williams as a series title - Kenneth joined Hugh Paddick to continue the comedy tradition and was also reunited with his "Carry On" film co-star Joan Sims. 

Written by Johnnie Mortimer, Brian Cooke and Myles Rudge 

With the Max Harris Group. 

Producer: John Simmonds

First broadcast on BBC Radio 2 in May 1969.
