strange how you hear different views. A friend used to work backstage and said Monkhouse was great to work with. He said the best was Les Dawson,and the worst by a mile was Bruce Forsythe
It will only defer it a little while.

Comedy genius with a unique style. Was able to use TV to promote his comedy in a way which, being of an earlier era, Brighton's own Max Miller. sadly could not. But they both had their live audiences absolutely transfixed. RIP Sir Ken.

"Is Dodd your real name?"
" No, it's an anagram"

I'm watching a programme on Ch5 at the moment. Doddy- I like football. I could have played for Liverpool, but I couldn't spit far enough!
He's even relevant when he's gone.

Doddy's funeral today. Watching the Sky news coverage and the reporter was interviewing Jimmy Tarbuck, when all of a sudden a little old dear interrupts with "Ooh, are you Roy Hudd?". "Yes dear, I'm Roy Hudd, what a day I'm having" he replies.

When he had his run-in with HMRC for non-payment of tax (in a lengthy court case in 1989, which he won) in his defence he pleaded that the charges against him were flawed in that he wasn't subject to the rules of the Inland Revenue ..…because he lived by the seaside!
