Kenny Everett: Best Possible Taste

This starts on BBC Four tonight.
But you probably knew that.
Is there a single dead British "funnyman" BBC4 hasn't made a "tears of a clown" biopic about?
They're normally quite good, though I'm a bit wary of these dramas that centre on how good someone's impression is.
I was such a big fan of the Kenny Everett Video Show when I was a kid, and seriously didn't twig he was gay for years.
Funny.
"Roll VT!" etc etc.

PS There's quite a lot of Kenny Everett archive TV and radio shows on BBC iPlayer at the mo.
'Kenny Everett - By The Women in His Life' Radio Times.
Seems that many journalists think a gay man getting on very well with women is odd, rather than the norm - here's "TV comic's best friend Cleo Rocos" in the Mirror.
Oh, and RT's also done on an online character guide with video clips.
