Makes me Homesick Im watching from Palm Springs California [A long story of how i got here]] Mother loved Lowry I found them depressing But now I understand. Oh I wish i was walking down Preston Market with my Mum. Linking arms Laughing and skitting . Happy days. [Im 85 years Old. RIP Doddy you were the best
Never see his likes again one of the worlds best entertainer’s. His one man shows were brilliant and they run over there time as always. Hope you haven’t booked a Taxi as he will be walking a long time haha. R.I.P Ken we still love you
Now Ken has taken his tickling stick through the golden gates. A great man of happiness, joy and pure talent. Our very absent friend Ken Dodd - Rest in Peace.
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 even remember the BBC extending one of his shoes delaying the 9 o’clock news. He was that good. A great comedian, a great singer and a great loss to you, me and the inland revenue!
One of the best all round entertainers we are ever likely to see! Ken Dodd's repertoire is unmatched. Theatre staff working on his live shows are guaranteed overtime.
His funeral was today, and I couldn't help but reflect what a rare entertainer he was compared to todays trash,,,no swearing, no abuse, no hate or sarcasm,,,,,,,just pure innocent entertainment, and he was an Expert at it.
You are so right, most of the entertainment now is absolutely crap, it's all fighting swearing and abuse and that seems to be the norm now. I love this song, it's priceless. 😊😊😊😊
Even here in Dublin we sing this song at parties the good old days of the two ronnies and cannon and ball benny hill all those type of things love to all.
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.
Squirble Nay wonder you think Ken dods funny,, Squirble ffs what are you on, bye the way what kind of fucked up name is Squirble, I bet you're English mates think that's funny as fuck, fuckin squirble
This was so true of the man, I saw him 5 years back and did the same, he wrote back a very personalised letter about the evening along with a signed photo, I just thought what a true legend and pro he was. RIP Ken
Simply the Best I saw him live 3 times at Southport left at 1am A Genuine Legend I loved him and Im so glad through UA-cam and DVD I can relive his humour and Songs RIP Doddy
Hearts are breaking in Melbourne on the loss of this awesome, people's comedian. RIP Doddy ... and heaven is an even happier place now your making the angels laugh. God bless you.
A true comedic legend and all round nice bloke. My grandmother went to see him one night and my mum had wrangled back stage passes. He was my grandmother's hero. He gave a free tickets for the next night which they went to too. Grandmother is now 98 (2022) and she still has her photo with him on her dresser. Bless that man.
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.
Absolutely brilliant, Sir Kenneth Dodd brings joy and happiness in all that he does, God bless Ken and thank you for all the happiness you gave me and many millions. 👏👏👏👏👏
O 'lord I hope you have a place that befits this who fun and laughter to so many .I remember when I was a child Ken Dodd and the Diddy men always in all our prayers.
His teeth are in 3D with this video quality!!! My first real introduction to him was An Audience With Ken Dodd in the 90's. I knew of him but never heard much from him other than Happiness
Not many of the old school left now, mores the pity, Ken Dodd one of the few. So many greats gone, Larry Grayson, Hinge & Bracket, Gracie Fields, Arthur Askey, Richard Hearne (Mr.Pastry), Beryl Reid, Arthur Lucan (Old Mother Riley), Dick Emery, Les Dawson etc etc.
Yeh, there will be another ken, a true legend and so versatile, a true all round entertainer. He never retired even though he probably should have done. The year he died he had shows booked for nearly the following year.
I once went to Liverpool where ken lived to try and find the jam butty mines he kept going on about; i wasted a whole day , 2 police officers were not much help , they just told me to take a left then a left then a left etc. Ill never get that day back again
Lovely warm funny man. Some of you might know he gave Barbara Knox her big break on Corrie as Rita, she talks about it on his edition of This is your life.
Sa very sad of of Ken Dodds passing, how tickled I am to have seen at least one of he’s life shows, thankfully I have many cds and videos of the pure genius who will be missed by so many, rest in peace Sir Kenneth. 😢🇬🇧
Went to see him years ago at Palace Theatre in Newark. Should have finished at 10.30pm but eventually wrapped it up at 12.40am and nobody left. Tells you everything
one of our greatest entertainers.makes me laugh till my face aches.les dawson.tommy cooper.the two ronnies.on and on.we were lucky to watch the greats working there genious for our entertainment
This shows Ken Dodd - from the Mersey area I know so well - performing wonderfully. It's a well written song by Brian and Michael - their original performance was fine - but this performance is the best in the world for this song . . .

Wonderful comment, Lesley. Life has changed, hasn't it? Someone like Ken seems to be from another universe in these days of plastic entertainers.
How sad, the nation loses a brilliant comedian who has rarely stopped entertaining us! RIP Ken
HE WAS A TRUE COMEDY LEGEND!
God bless Sir Ken. What a bloody legend. R I P
This Aussie spent near 3 years in Lancs in the 70's. This bloke was, still is one of the best. Great Talent!
It's a true shame this great master to comedy has gone rip ken
@@357HFC Your a true fan?
Whether he was joking or singing, Ken gave 100% to every performance he ever gave.
He was a professional 👏 entainer
You can't fathom out how much much I loved and loved this amazingly great human
Never see his likes again one of the worlds best entertainer’s. His one man shows were brilliant and they run over there time as always. Hope you haven’t booked a Taxi as he will be walking a long time haha. R.I.P Ken we still love you
Don't be such an IDIOT
You can't love a dead person

Had the pleasure of meeting this legend 3 times and what gent he was,there was only one KenDodd R.i.p
My brother met Ken Dod by total chance. He said (our mum ) liked him... he replied "Is she single?".. absolutely a one off. Fantastic comedian. RIP
He had a superb voice. Miss him, miss him, miss him...
My goodness,calm down,all people end up passing on at some point in their life but for well known Comedians it isn't as good
R.I.P. Ken Dodd, there will never be another one like you
God, this man is missed, especially Christmas time, god bless you Mr Dodd.
Fantastic, great to see and hear young Doddy on the stage
What a sad loss when we lost this wonderful talent . There will never be a another like Ken
Aww I love this. You've certainly left your mark Sir Ken Dodd. Thank you for the Diddy Men. 😃😃

Shows not shoes, damned spell check.
True gentleman & legend ... Goodnight Doddy ❤️
Literally in tears of laughter at this. What a special one-off talent! Plus a great voice and fantastic version of one of my favourite songs. RIP Ken.
When people watch videos like this one of Ken Dodd any video of any comedian who has passed on the person's emotions will run wild
Michael Coleman - half of Brian and Michael, the duo that originated this song - subsequently penned Doddy's minor hit 'Hold My Hand'.
A good singer and an entertainer with unprecedented ability a quite remarkable man. No one remotely like him today.
One of the best all round entertainers we are ever likely to see!
Ken Dodd's repertoire is unmatched. Theatre staff working on his live shows are guaranteed overtime.
Only guy whose shows are guaranteed to end in daylight
Yes if you're five years old, then yes he might be funny.
I've found him funny since I first heard him as a teenager, at very nearly 70 I still find him funny.
@@jimduffy1967 Roflmao.
@@Trek001 Very true, went to one of his shows many years ago, it over ran by about 2 hours...
His funeral was today, and I couldn't help but reflect what a rare entertainer he was compared to todays trash,,,no swearing, no abuse, no hate or sarcasm,,,,,,,just pure innocent entertainment, and he was an Expert at it.
100% agree. No real wholesome family entertainers anymore.
You are so right, most of the entertainment now is absolutely crap, it's all fighting swearing and abuse and that seems to be the norm now. I love this song, it's priceless. 😊😊😊😊

I once went to Liverpool where ken lived to try and find the jam butty mines he kept going on about; i wasted a whole day , 2 police officers were not much help , they just told me to take a left then a left then a left etc. Ill never get that day back again
Ken Dodd's brand of Comedy was unique. A Music Hall genius.
Never heard this. Doddy 90 in November!!
Lovely warm funny man. Some of you might know he gave Barbara Knox her big break on Corrie as Rita, she talks about it on his edition of This is your life.

Seen ken in hartlepool. A brilliant singer. And a brilliant entainer. Godbless ken.
Ken your songs will live on forever
This shows Ken Dodd - from the Mersey area I know so well - performing wonderfully. It's a well written song by Brian and Michael - their original performance was fine - but this performance is the best in the world for this song . . .
Rip ken miss you make them laugh up there weve lost the best man ever
Ken may not have come from Salford. Northerner, born in Lancs (as it was then). Does this song to a treat. Respect!
There’ll never be another ken Dodd like another Elvis,Lennon or Steve McQueen
God Bless you Ken.
Wonderful. RIP a Great Talent.
