Ken Dodd


Recommended Posts

Surprised no one's mentioned the passing of Ken Dodd. He last played the Vicky Hall on 16th December 2017. Must have been one of his last concerts, bet the car parks were open late that night!

Very much the end of an era, last of the old school light entertainers and the last link to the halcyon days of family holidays in Blackpool.

He said something once that really struck a chord with me, that he just wanted to make people happy (apart from the taxman, of course) and I thought what a wonderful approach to life that was. RIP owd Ken!

A real character, and another one of those people who had Saturday night TV shows and was always on the telly (when there were three channels) who is no longer with us. Quite sad, but he made millions laugh, and that was his gift.

One of my favourite jokes of his was when he once said:

"I haven't spoken to my mother-in-law in 18 months - I don't like to interrupt her" Les Dawson would have been proud of that one. RIP Doddy, and don't worry - all the tax collectors are in hell....
