Disc and Music Echo interview with Kenny and his Radio One butler Crisp

Keith Geddes from Herts very kindly shared some newspaper clippings about two returns to the Beeb in Kenny's TV and radio career.

1981 story of the crossing from Thames to the BBC for The Kenny Everett Television Show. (Story text at legible size, right).
Comedy series Stephenson's Rocket (not 'Rock' as incorrectly reported here) never got beyond the pilot stage and even the pilot was never transmitted.

The story of Kenny's move to Radio Two was announced a month later.
Many thanks to you all for sharing your memories
