The Cancellation of Kenny Everett

DJ and comedian Kenny Everett was never afraid to tell the world what he really thought in a career chequered with controversy. In 1970 he was infamously fired from his job at the BBC for making an accusatory comment about a government minister's wife. This documentary explores how he was never afraid to ruffle feathers, hearing from those who loved him for his candour as well as those offended by his comedy.
