What is Kenneth Williams: Fantabulosa / Carry on Camping about?

“Kenneth Williams: Fantabulosa," 2006, BBC, 79 min. Michael Sheen excels as Kenneth Williams, the wildly popular British comic and star of the much-loved CARRY ON films. A consummate entertainer loved by everyone but himself, Williams could create a thousand voices and characters and yet was unable to live comfortably within his own skin. CARRY ON CAMPING, 1969, MGM Repertory, 88 min. Dir. Gerald Thomas. The 17th film in the classic long-running British comedy series finds Sid and Bernie (Sid James and Bernard Bresslaw) a little frustrated by their prudish girlfriends; they decide that a camping holiday to a nudist colony will be just the trick. Things get a little jumbled on the way to all the naked people, and the foursome instead end up encountering some of the strangest characters ever, including Kenneth Williams as the hysterically unforgettable Dr. Soaper, headmaster of the Chayste Place Finishing School. Discussion between films with actor Michael Sheen.
