	Charles Hawtrey's Obituary (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-05)
		Charles Hawtrey who has died aged 74, was an endearingly eccentric comedy actor whose bespectacled, spindle-shanked figure and dotty, weedy, often outrageously "camp" characterisations tended to be more familiar than his name.
		Hawtrey’s many other stage appearances included the Shakespearean roles of Gremio in The Taming of the Shrew at the Old Vic (1939) and the following year he earned rave notices for the Eric Maschwitz revue New Faces, particularly for his "chic and finished study of an alluring woman spy".
		Hawtrey’s preferred mode of parlance was a weird nonsense language a sort of telegraphese, which few apart from his Carry On co-star Joan Sims were able to fathom.

		Lewis evokes Hawtrey’s weird by wholly joyful persona in a monograph worthy of Ken Tynan.
		For instance, one of Hawtrey's last TV appearances was in the series Supergran and this is just mentioned in a footnote and Lewis had never hard of the programme, named the wrong actress who played her and didn't even bother to get a copy of the show to watch.
		Considering how reclusive and obstinate Hawtrey was in the 80's it would be interesing to hear how this appearance came about and what he was like to work with during the filming of it.

	Charles Hawtrey
		Pop-eyed and bespectacled, thin lips, it seemed, permanently pursed in an expression of disapproval or in anticipation of trouble, Hawtrey came originally from a theatrical family based in Middlesex.
		Hay was Hawtrey's idol - he once said 'I learned everything I know from him - and he even turned down a role in Top of the Form (1952), a remake of Hay's 1937 film Good Morning, Boys, because he thought (rightly) that it cheapened the original.
		Knobbly-kneed and goggle-eyed, Hawtrey's characters in these films were vaguely camp and campily vague.

		Indeed, he actually likes Hawtrey, which is a bonus, given that he never liked Sellers, or found him funny, and yet found the energy to write a thirty thousand page analysis of his life and art.
		We all like Hawtrey of course, more for the Carry On films than for anything else, but whether his career warrants the kind of poncey analysis it receives here is open to question.
		But I am also left with the impression that, had Hawtrey been a successful performer, working until he died and hailed by the public and critics in Britain and Hollywood alike, then Lewis would probably be more prone to attack him than celebrate him.

		In his brilliant book on Charles Hawtrey, Roger Lewis recreates the milieu of sadness and second-rateness that pervaded these films.
		Hawtrey got paid £5,000 per picture in 1958; the pay scale remained the same for 20 years.
		None of which need matter to the audience, were it not for the fact that the tattiness and cheapskateness seeps depressingly through on to the screen.

		I have just re-read the Charles Hawtrey biography (The Man Who Was Private Widdle), and it really brings it home the problems this man had.
		However Charles was constantly bitter about his carry on pecking order and Kenny was constantly libelling his friends and colleagues in his diaries.
		Charles Hawtrey on the other hand was very concerned with his pecking order, as you say, and obviously drink lead him away from his work, with producers and the like not wanting to 'take a risk' with him.

	Spectator, The: An amused world of his own
		Hawtrey, for those unfamiliar with the series, is an ultra-skinny, epicene little figure with round spectacles, a thick, dark toupee and immaculate diction: an ageless and hilarious melange of fop, school swot and mischievous maiden aunt.
		Roger Lewis rightly points out that Hawtrey is funny doing nothing, quietly contained in an amused world of his own.
		Dropped from the Carry On films after a billing dispute, Hawtrey eked out his 16 final years in obscurity; a bitter, lonely alcoholic, squalidly pursuing rough trade in Deal.

		Jacques is a frustrated spinster of tentlike proportions, Charles Hawtrey a campily dotty shrink, and Williams a psychological stretcher-case: he is afraid, amid other hypochondrias, that he is changing sex.
		When all three converge in Hawtrey's room, in a climactic mayhem of dropped trousers and double-entendres, it's like watching a Feydeau farce played out in a friary.
		For Williams and Hawtrey are the film's – and in Williams's case, the series' – hothouse blooms.
