Dark, disturbing and hugely entertaining, this excellent documentary examines the lives of Sid James, Kenneth Williams, Charles Hawtrey and Frankie Howerd - three of whom were Carry On stalwarts, Howerd was more of a guest.
Very few documentaries get under the skin of their subject matter and Paul Gallagher has successfully unearthed the heart of each of James, Williams, Hawtrey & Howerd. All were driven by different demons which heightened their comic abilities.
A brilliant and fascinating documentary - a companion piece to Terry Johnson's equally good 'Cor Blimey!'
10/10
