 Dainty also had a large following of radio listeners, who tuned-in to his shows, including "Stick a Geranium in Your Hat".On 14 January 1979, Dainty taped a guest spot on "Star Turn", a BBC children's programme, on which one of the other guests was Kenneth Williams.In that day's entry in "The Kenneth Williams Diaries", Williams quotes scriptwriter John Law describing Dainty as "a terrible provincial comic" (although Williams personally liked him).
