I drove Jim's Rolls Royce when i was working in a hotel in the west end. He booked into the hotel Strand Palace, in the early hours, and asked me if i couldpark his car. I couldn't believe the mess inside with the ashtray over flowing, and litter all over the place, ut that didn't other me, it was an honour. This was around late 70s.

I had a curry with a black friend who went to school with Jim. He said he was sure Chalkie was based on him. He said there was not a racist bone in hus body.

I was in a nightclub in Brighton in the mid 1970s and Jim was the act on the show. He asked me to dance before he did his act, and his driver asked my friend to dance. He was a real gentleman, and we had a good chat whilst smooching around the dance floor.

@@winklton Correct. When he retired, his father went around the country speaking about his son and pointing out the dangers of taking recreational drugs and highlighting a decline in moral standards while promoting his deep belief in Christianity. Heaven knows what his reaction would be now since his parting some twenty years ago. There are uploads available to watch on YT.

It's not at all easy to be a comedian so I give him credit for getting up there, also I like how he involved Charlie Drake on his shows and got him work doing pantomimes, I think Jim has a kind heart and his humor may be seen to be racial, but its just observation of characters, no where near as racial as some comedians I can think of. I can understand his comment about the Rolls Royce, and cudos for him going back to mum.

@@winklton To me 'funny' equals 'wit'. Stewart Lee is Oxford University educated and his humour is on a much higher intellectual level than Davidson. The calibre of people to whom Lee appeals is much higher than those who find Davidson funny. I find Davidson as funny as a diagnosis of metastatic cancer.

@@winklton It's actually 'YOU'RE in love with' . Getting YOUR YOU'RE right isn't rocket science. It's basic English that a child should grasp with ease. I can be 100% sure that the calibre of people who find Davidson amusing will have a much poorer grasp of the English language than the calibre of people who find Lee amusing. The latter are much more likely to be highly intelligent, educated and cultured.

@@jamesbeggs9733 Not much of a barometer really though is it. People get entertained at Royal Variety Performances but it doesn’t mean they’re any good. Humour is subjective anyway. Just because I don’t like it, it doesn’t mean that a right-wing comparatively uneducated person in their late 60s nursing a serious brain injury and a lot of bitterness won’t. Everyone is entitled to their own opinion. How many crowds are there by the way - I thought there would be just the one?
