His real diaries, published posthumously, captivated generations with their candour, humour and poignancy, ending abruptly with his final entry in 1988.Beyond Our Kenneth: The Continued Diaries of Kenneth Williams imagines what might have happened had this king of comedy survived and continued writing into the early 1990s, placing his unmistakable voice into a new decade of cultural change. Author Bill Holland - inspired by his long-standing admiration for Williams' life and work - extends his perspective with authenticity and affection. The result is both a playful continuation and a celebration of one of Britain's most fascinating cultural figures.Bill Holland graduated from the Arts Educational Schools, and spent ten years working as an actor before putting pen to paper.His wide-ranging interests include the Olympic Games, British sitcoms, the Whitechapel murders, English royalty, numismatics and the Eurovision Song Contest.Research for his first book, Beyond Our Kenneth – a fictional continuation of the diaries of Kenneth Williams – brought him into contact with many of the late Carry On star's remaining friends and colleagues, as well as with other authors and aficionados of the topic.Bill lives in Fulham, south-west London.The Very Rev’d Dr Mark Oakley is Dean of Southwark.

Established as a small convent, it grew over the centuries into a priory, which became a parish church and then, in 1905, the Cathedral for the newly created Diocese of Southwark which serves the whole of London south of the river.The Cathedral’s patchwork architecture bears testament to its past as do the many monuments and memorials inside and outside the church. These are reminders of the rich history of this part of London and our association with such major figures in our creative history, including Chaucer, Shakespeare and Dickens.Southwark Cathedral is a place of worship, welcome and friendship, to rejoice in or find rest when you’re weary. We are London’s community Cathedral striving to live the example of Jesus, seeking to be a spiritual home for all and set at the heart of Bankside, buzzing with people and activity, a vibrant cultural and commercial destination." } ] } ] ```
