I remember seeing him in panto at Bristol Hippodrome, must have been early 60's. A great entertainer and, from all the tributes, a genuinely nice person who never spoke ill of others. Sad that his death should have been on what I believe would have been another great, Bruce Forsyth's 90th birthday.
Given his reputation for marathon performances, the best quote I've heard this morning was " he should have gone at 80 but they couldn't get him off the stage"!
RIP Ken Dodd

RIP Sir Ken
A truly funny man. He lived in our town and when he decided to put on a show here, it was sold out in minutes. So another night (2 shows) was booked. I managed to see him at the earlier slot and true to form, he overran by a good hour! I heard later it was close to 1am when the second show finished! Every person in the audience was entertained without any foul language and left sobbing with laughter.
