Ken Dodd - New Years Honour ??

Why is anyone concerned who these gongs are handed too, I don't see why Ken Dodd shouldn't get one when someone who's been, say an MP for 20 years does?

I saw Ken Dodd about 15 years ago and he was so so funny and I'd have given him a Knighthood that evening simply for making my mum so very happy after years of her wanting to see him live

Well said Chris. We took our kids to see him. Totally clean act, that was into its 4 hour when we brought them out at 20 to 1 in the morning, when he was still going strong.

He's amazingly funny and at his age still putting in the hours for his public. No complaints at all from me.

As a value for money act at a 4+ hour set he's hard to beat and it's machine gun non-stop joke telling without any need to resort to blue humour or foul language to get a laugh. It seems deserved for his service to entertainment and his career is over 50 years long.

Is that supposed to be proof that she is increasing eating disorders or is it a red top rag conforming to its normal headlines - it's a poor comment and it is something you do see in the red top comics

You made a judgement about her weight which was poor as well.

You win, was dangling a little bait there.
Have a great New year when it comes.

Spot on.
The wife and I went to see him in Eastbourne about 3 years ago.
One of the best nights entertainment we have had.
Not one swear word, not one offensive joke.
And his "vent act" was one of the funniest things I had seen in years.
