    Barbara was a gross woman...how many abortions did she have again? Insane. Even back then it was possibile to prevent it but she let anyone do her and she wasnt even a good actress. It was enough for slapstick and she was always some kind of cheap chick.

    Barbara was a gross cruel woman who managed to get pregnant so many times by different men and always killed her children in the womb despite having access to contraception. How fricking gross.

    ❤ Yeah me too. I Have a box set, I watch them and laugh my head off. But I also get a bit nostalgic and sad too as it's from a time we will never get back. And all the actors are gone now other than Jim Dale who is still here October 22nd 2023.

    Wonderful to listen to their gossip. I don't know what Babs said to Kenny that first day but from Kenneth Williams' diary, 6.2.64. "I must say I like Barbara Windsor. She is a charming little girl". So it couldn't have been all bad.

    KW was wearing a false beard as part of his character. On the first take, Babs fluffed her lines, to which Kenny responded with his usual acidity! Babs then reposted with, "Don't you talk to me like that with Fenella Fielding's (insert here slang word for female private part!) hair round yer face!!!" That broke the ice!! Kenny and Fielding appeared in Revue together and had a love/hate relationship, to say the least!!

    If memory serves, I think the comment Babs made was to do with the fake beard Kenneth wore in Carry On Spying looking like a particular body part of Fenella Fielding being stuck to his face. From that moment on, Kenneth adored her lol

    Kenny really was part of the most extraordinarily rich vein of British comedy, individuality, originality, intelligence, but also that deep sadness and emptiness. Spike Milligan, Tony Hancock, Peter Sellers. Unfortunately it’s the English system, that repression and class division, they were so under the jackboot of, that probably made them so unrepeatable. It’s an odd thing. I wouldn’t want to go back to the 20s 30s & 40s, (or later for that matter) but those times created great people.

    If you read his book, he gave Barbara a hard time on set the first time they worked together . He was in costume, with a fake moustache.... so Barbara, knowing he hated Fenella Fielding ( wearer of that sexy red velvet dress in Carry on Screaming) said "Dont you talk to me like that with Fenella Fieldings m*nge hair all over your face". They were firm friends ever after .
