Another old skool comedian gone. RIP DES.

 

[AmandaJR]

Oh that is very sad. RIP.

 

[PhilTheFragger]

Always had a soft spot for Des
Loved his self deprecation sketches with Eric & Ern RIP

Can’t be many of the old boys left Roy Hudd and Nicholas Parsons went recently

The world turns but it is sad

He cheered us up in Blackpool 1964 after we couldn't get tickets to see The Rolling stones, on the same night. RIP Des.

He knew it was a good night, less people were asking for their money back (Eric Morcambe)

Just one of those ’ever-present’ faces and voices in myTV watching through the 70s and well into the 80s. He was just part of the tapestry of live that we lived in and through.

40+ years ago quite a few folk told me I looked like Des O'Connor, I was quite chuffed until I learned that he was 16 years older.
Great comic straight man for Morcombe and Wise.
Bloody awful singer with a dreadful choice of songs though.

RIP, interesting to read that he wrote a lot of Eric's putdowns

"Let's Pretend " you didn't say that last sentence, he made millions from his records, not everybody's taste, but back in the day he was very popular, I've heard a lot worse singers in the charts.
