The complete Kenny Everett Video Show is to be released on DVD.

Network Distributing is releasing all 35 episodes (including three New Year specials) that Kenny, alongside comedy writers Barry Cryer and Ray Cameron, crafted at Thames Television between 1978 – 1981, for many episodes this will be their DVD debut!

Erupting onto television, The Kenny Everett Video Show was an instant ratings grabber – propelling the subversive, impish DJ to the superstardom he had always deserved.

Kenny’s anarchic mix of manic sketches, musical guests and dance routines  - courtesy of booty-shakers Hot Gossip - created must-see television, his creative genius running riot as he unleashed a line-up of much-loved, much-mimicked characters including gobby rocker Sid Snot, Gallic sophisticate Marcel Wave and the improbably-handed evangelist  Brother Lee Love! 

The series showcased concert performances from some of the biggest music stars with appearances from David Bowie, Bonnie Tyler, The Boomtown Rats, Suzi Quatro, Thin Lizzy, David Essex, The Police and more. 

Kenny had made his start in 1964 at the legendary pirate station Radio London before moving on (being fired!) to the fledging BBC Radio 1 and then commercial station Capital Radio (after another firing!). He honed his mix of comedy, music and controversy throughout the 60s and 70s which culminated in his own TV show that would be the perfect vehicle for his characters and sketches.

Everett passed away in 1995 at the age of 50, but left a legacy and influence that can be seen across a myriad of entertainers today.

The Kenny Everett Video Show is released on November 19. Order here (warning - it is quite expensive, but then there's a lot of it)
