I was very privileged to work with Ken Dodd, in my first glamorous job in telly. He was exactly the same off stage as on, full of happy energy, he loved to make people laugh - whether it be a royal command performance at the Palladium or the cleaning lady he passed in the corridor. He was very comfortable around women and always looked at the women's faces, in any TV production meetings, to see if we laughed at a joke. He made us roar! The first time we met him, he gave us all nicknames and they stuck! He genuinely respected and enjoyed the company of women, and we adored him. He was quite simply the best stand up comedian Britain has ever produced, or ever will. Why he wasn't knighted 20 years ago as he deserved to be, I will never know. People who saw Ken Dodd perform live were so very, very lucky - there will never be another comic even approaching his talent. Goodnight Sir Ken, sleep tight, your work here is done. It was an honour and a joy working with you. I know your lovely partner Lady Anne will now take good care of your memory and legacy, as she took care of you in life, she is a diamond. XXX

Being from Liverpool I remember seeing him as a kid it the 60's and thought he was great. I lent a video to friends here in Australia and they loved it as well but he never came here and was never shown on TV. Some of his songs were heard on radio and I remember a DJ describing him as an English singer. Little did he know of his true talent. Doddy was happy with his career in the UK. Near the beginning he didn't think his act would be appreciated in the South but after an offer he couldn't refuse he agreed to performed in London Palladium. Due to the demand his show had to be extended.

If you haven’t watched the full video of his service please watch it. Brilliant tributes & when the congregation applauded as they carried him out I actually cried & 48 year old working class northerners don’t cry easy. He’s gone to join the greats that I remember & miss so much like Morcambe & Wise, Tommy Cooper, Norman Wisdom, The Two Ronnies.... So funny without swearing, being political or nasty to anyone, the comedians of today could learn a thing or two. I hope we see talent like this again someday, but I’m not very hopeful.

@glamdolly30 6 жыл бұрын

Bravo Lynn! What some people fail to realise is that Roy Chubby Brown was admired by Ken Dodd and also people like Jimmy Tarbuck, because whatever you think of his swearing, he's a very skilful stand up comic. Stand up comedy is an incredibly difficult discipline, and the people who can do it well respect each other. Sir Ken Dodd was quite simply the best stand up comedian this country has ever produced, so unsurprisingly Roy Chubby Brown is among the many, many comedians (far too many to list here) who idolise him. I think it was very moving to see so many fellow professionals at Sir Ken Dodd's funeral, paying respects to the Guv'nor.

just like most people would if they could get away with it. Besides, Ken Dodd never actually dodged any tax because he had to pay it in the end so basically his taxes were fully paid and up to date. He tried it on, he got caught. Thats the chance you take if you're that way inclined.
