Lively and oh-so Kenny
If you lived through the transmissions of Kenny Everett, and I only did the telly stuff, you may well recognise his truly individual style and delivery.A quite remarkable man who, like Tommy Cooper, Dave Allen and a few other greats of his years, really does have a unique stage persona. This is captured to brilliant effect by Oliver and by an excellent script.
Often, capturing the mood perfectly is more of an insight than dry, documentary accuracy and this seems to recognise that value. Well worth the sit-down time but be ready to be spun around.
