Ken Dodd and his diddy dodgy tax affairs? 50s throwback Ken Dodd? Bugger me.
With all the laughs you've given me and others on here another fifties throwback might also get a gong.

Well done Sir Ken, richly deserved after decades of service to comedy. I mean real comedy. Not made by others misfortunes.

Lovely man, who will be as proud as punch with this award and will already have a shed load of jokes about it.

While it's good to see people being recognised for whatever, I have a big prob ith the honours system, nd find myself admiring those who turn them down, like Benjamin Zephaniah

[QUOTE 4618270, member: 259"]Way back when, I was a roadie for a sound company when he did gigs in Nottingham. He used to go full pelt for three hours or more most nights and you wouldn't hear the same joke three days in a row out of the hundreds he did. Fair play to him. I'm sure he'd have got his gong years ago if it wasn't for that slight misunderstanding with the Inland revenue.[/QUOTE]
Mother & Father in law saw him a few times, often at local village events, he used to bring his sandwiches onto the stage & then eat them whilst performing, he would also have the bus & train schedules & would tell everybody what time they had to leave to catch train/bus, his 2 hour slot would often go on for 4 hours. On one occasion the theatre manager had to go up onto the stage to ask him to stop his performance as they had gone over the cut-off time of the license of the theatre & he was worried they'd get into trouble, he'd been due to finish at 22:30 & this was 23:30.

I'll say Who? as I've never heard of him, Goggling him didn't enlighten me, browsing his own website didn't either.
