Kenneth Williams recalls another rather fantastical tale from his life as a very secret agent. “I expect the question on everybody’s lips at the moment is why hasn’t Kenneth Williams ever gotten married?.....I can reveal for the very first time that I have been married. Yes, it only lasted for 24 hours but what a night to remember!" RD Wingfield wrote two series especially for Kenneth Williams – with the star playing a secret agent version of himself. RD is best remembered as the creator of Inspector Jack Frost – later adapted for TV as A Touch of Frost. Kenneth Williams … as himself Sir Charles Prattle .... Richard Caldicot Maisie ....
