    Met a doorman outside a Ken Dodd performance in Derby, asked him what time he was expecting to finish and his response was "God knows, we're already an hour past closing!" He wasn't even angry, he'd done a Dodd show before and knew he didn't finish until the audience had got their monies worth. A true gent

    I went to see him live a couple of months ago and it was such an honour to be there and see something that is so reminiscent of a traditional vaudeville showcase. My sides hurt from laughing and I loved the other acts in his show as well - Andy Eastwood, to name just one. Afterwards, I wrote Ken Dodd a letter and, much to my amazement, he replied. Even more overwhelming, the letter he sent wasn't just your standard 'Thanks and glad you enjoyed the show, love Ken' - it was a proper letter responding to everything I wrote - it was quite emotional to receive, plus an autographed photo. He's just such a wonderful man and, sad to say it, a dying breed. Such a privilege to see him.

    I loved Ken Dodd when I was a kid. In my teenage years as a Saint John Ambulance Man at The Assembly Rooms in Derby, he poured me a cuppa and had a chat when I was called back stage to render some treatment to one of the shows cast before the show. A star and yet normal, noble gentleman at the same time.
