We first saw him live in 1980. The kids were young and we had to leave at 12:30 (midnight).....he was still going strong.

I was just reading......his funeral will be on Wednesday, Thursday and part of Friday .

A very funny man. His shows were legendary . He had been unwell since Christmas and only came out of hospital a few weeks back.

....very funny man,........

I beg to differ. He was remarkably unfunny for someone who made a lifelong living as a comedian.

I saw him at the Palace theatre in Redditch about 20 years ago.......his show was very funny........for hour after hour.......after hour........after hour.
You certainly couldn't complain that you weren't getting your money's worth!
When he said - " Don't think you can escape, I'll follow you home and shout jokes through your letterbox!" - I was inclined to believe him.

His dads dog too....

I'm sure he thought you were a hoot too.
Surely you could have kept your opinion to yourself for the sake of decency and respect, at least for a few days?

When we seen him we started at half seven, the first half finished about ten and when he come back it went on till half one, as we were leaving he was still on stage and nattering with any member of the audience who wanted to chat to him. A great night out.

The best joke so far?

He was meant to go at 80, but they couldn't get him off.

A true entertainer. We saw him twice, once for 1990 and again for 1999 and most of 2000.

Privileged to see him twice on stage. RIP

and the story of his teeth should be a lesson to us all !

Sad news,but it was kind of expected as his illness has been getting quite a few mentions over the last week or so.
This may be just a coincidence,but i was on Accy market last week and i saw some bright pink feather dusters for sale. I thought about buying one. I've never bought a feather duster in my life. "Doddy"'s famous prop was a feather duster type ticking stick.

Mmm,was someone sending me a telepathic message maybe?
Anyway, i don't suppose now's the time to ask if they checked under the mattress for hidden wads of cash, when they moved his body.
Back on track. We as in mum dad my brother and me saw him perform a few times on our summer holidays to Blackpool in the 1960's. God i hated it!! Those child performers dressed as his "diddy men" made me cringe! I'd spend the bit of the show before they came on dreading their appearance. I just hate child performers. Shirley Temple, Bonnie Langford,Glynn Poole etc etc,but when there's about 30 of them at once!!!
