So I've always stayed on the sidelines. Getting the pleasure vicariously. It's not wholly satisfactory, but then of course no lives are, and you know what I think about indiscriminate sex and promiscuous trade. I think it's the beginning of a long, long road to despair."

The varied extremes of their shared social life, from glamorous parties with famous names such as Rudolf Nureyev and Williams's good friend, the playwright Joe Orton, to quiet evenings of Scrabble at their north London home, have answered many questions about the private life of this lonely star. While Williams was clearly attracted to Waine, the friendship remained platonic. An audio reading of Monkey, Arthur Waley's translation of Journey to the West, for Nimbus Records (1981).

Dr John Elliott, deputy coroner for inner north London said: "The cause of death was a barbiturate overdose. Where Mr Williams would have got these from we would not be able to establish. There is no indication given as to why he should have taken this overdose and therefore I record an open verdict." As he got older his insecurities about his life are on full show in the diaries, especially around his health. His sad end and a mystery around how his life ended (certainly at the time) is there for all to see. He says on a few occasions "whats the point?" I get the impression that in his own mind he never quite achieved what he wanted to get out of life.

Like many in the UK at the time, I got to see him because of the series of Carry On films. Williams view of those films were that he was better than that. I don't think he liked them very much. He wanted more out of his acting. He could be kind, intelligent, caring and very funny. He could also be nasty, horrible to anyone he didn't like and short tempered (listen to some of the radio broadcasts he made for the BBC, Just A Minute to see how he loses it from time to time.) The diaries record his opinions about others and many wondered what he had written about them in his "infamous" diaries. He was educated at The Lyulph Stanley Boys' Central Council School, [6] [7] a state-owned Central school, [8] in Camden Town, north London and subsequently became apprenticed as a draughtsman to a mapmaker. His apprenticeship was interrupted by the Blitz, and he was evacuated to Bicester, and the home of a bachelor veterinary surgeon. It provided his first experience of an educated, middle-class life, and he loved it. He returned to London with a new, vowel-elongated accent. [9] In 1944, aged 18, he was called up to the British Army. He became a sapper in the Royal Engineers Survey Section, doing much the same work that he did as a civilian. When the war ended he was in Ceylon and he opted to transfer to the Combined Services Entertainment Unit, which put on revue shows. While in that unit he met Stanley Baxter, Peter Vaughan, Peter Nichols and John Schlesinger. [10]
