Ken Dodd was such a natural talent, with instinctively perfect timing. He had a genius for working the crowd, he knew how to take them with him, and keep them in stitches all night.

Ken had number one hits in the 60`s/70`s beating the Beatles to the top I think once . He invented the Diddy men from Knotty Ash which children loved back in the day the day Dickie Mint was a favourite and he had a vent doll of him . So Mr Dodd was an all rounder ... he had something for everyone .

Ken Dodd divides me - I liked his fast comedy delivery, his pacing was perfect, his timing was superb. On the other hand I detest his politics. A Margaret Thatcher lover, supporter of the tories, and an income tax dodger. At least his comedy will provide a better lasting memory than his politics.
