Kenny Everett and Don Rickles

Kenny Everett was the most creative broadcaster ever on British radio, his shows a thrilling mix of manic comedy and audio experimentation. On television he was equally adventurous where Cuddly Ken's timeless sketch shows gave us outlandish characters like Cupid Stunt, Sid Snot and Angry of Mayfair. It was, of course, all done in the best possible taste. Don Rickles was America's foremost insult comedian, a diminutive stand up whose fearless routines took no prisoners and who ignored any notion of political correctness. The unofficial house comedian to Sinatra's Rat Pack, Rickles remains much admired by today's generation of young comics.

John Marley and Mark Wells discuss the work of these two ground breaking comedy entertainers, and recall some of their funniest work.
