Editing Kenneth Williams (section)

===''Carry On'' films===
Williams worked regularly in British film during the late 1950s, 1960s and 1970s, mainly in the ''[[Carry On (franchise)|Carry On]]'' series (1958–1978) with its double entendre humour; and appeared in the series more than any other actor.<ref name="britmovie1">{{cite web|url=http://www.britmovie.co.uk/actors/Kenneth-Williams|title=Kenneth Williams &#124; Home of British Films|publisher=Britmovie|access-date=28 June 2014|url-status=dead|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20140809200212/http://www.britmovie.co.uk/actors/Kenneth-Williams|archive-date=9 August 2014 }}</ref> The films were commercially successful but Williams claimed the cast were poorly paid. In his diaries, Williams wrote that he earned more in a [[St Ivel]] advert than for any ''Carry On'' film, although he was still earning the average Briton's annual salary in a year for the latter. He often privately criticised and "dripped vitriol" upon the films, considering them beneath him, even though he continued to appear in them.<ref name="express">{{cite web|url=http://www.express.co.uk/entertainment/books/207221/Review-Born-Brilliant-The-life-of-Kenneth-Williams-by-Christopher-Stevens|title=Review: Born Brilliant: The life of Kenneth Williams by Christopher Stevens|work=Daily Express|access-date=22 September 2014|date=23 October 2010}}</ref> This became the case with many of the films and shows in which he appeared. He was quick to find fault with his own work, and also that of others. Despite this, he spoke fondly of the ''Carry On''s in interviews. [[Peter Rogers]], producer of the series, recollected, "Kenneth was worth taking care of because, while he cost very little—£5,000 a film, he made a great deal of money for the franchise."<ref>''Kenneth Williams Unseen'', Wes Butters and Russell Davies, HarperCollins, 2008, p. 224</ref>
