“Has it ever struck you that life is all memory, except for the one present moment that goes by you so quick you hardly catch it going?”― Tennessee Williams

I had the pleasure of seeing him perform live twice. A human encyclopaedia of jokes. Made me laugh till I cried. RIP Ken Dodd.
You brought laughter and happiness to tens of thousands.
The start of this TV show, shows just how much of a ''down to Earth'', and ''touchable'' Superstar this man was. When he started the walk down the stairs of the theatre to begin the programme, he stood and shook peoples hands, talked to them, kissed them, and held up the beginning of the programmes intro music, which ran over a few times. A proper Gent, and a Legend. No other star that I can remember on ''This is your life'' has got close to the audience to thank them and say hello, as they always appeared from back-stage.
Anne was a lucky lady, and now, she's a Lady in the true sense. It's a shame that Ken finally married her during his last few hours on this Earth. Sir Ken Dodd will be greatly missed by many.
I couldn't have put it better myself Digger Dawg. I never met Sir Ken but always loved watching and listening to him over the years. A genuinely funny man who was a legend in every sense. RIP Sir Ken thank you so much for entertaining us xx
better late than never. She is a lovely lady and brought great happiness to Doddy RIP Sir Ken
No one will touch him no one will ever come close to how great this man was he stands on his own with a million fans at his back rip Ken x
Bernard manning was a far funnier man
Pity he didn't pay his taxes. One law for him another for us. A chancer, good for a laugh 😅 at our expense.
@@andrewcarroll2162 Right on Andrew Carroll. All the Scousers are chancers and winging cheats.

Ken Dodd is a gent, good comic etc!! Kept his feet in Liverpool and very loyal to his home town, not Jimmy Tarbuck etc!! He has done more for charities than any other entertainer!! He holds the world record for tell over 1,000 jikes in 1 hour that is some achviement
KEN DODD NEVER LEFT HES LIVERPOOL HOMETOWN OF KNOTTY ASH..unlike some entertainers ..doddy was a one off..a true nice man who i got to no quite well in hes later years rip my friend sir kenneth arthur dodd..xx i love you
That is genuinely the only time I have seen this man speechless!
Oh Ken 💖 we were 'blessed with more than our share of happiness' when you were entertaining us! How everyone loved you Ken! Being a fellow scouser, I was lucky enough to meet you Christmas Eve night 1977, as I was leaving George Henry Lee's and you were trying to sneak in, unrecognised! As a young and lovely girl back then, I asked if I could give you a Christmas kiss and you said that was the best offer you had all day! God bless you Ken, you are God's jester in Heaven! Thanks for the magic laughter you generously gave us! Love you forever Ken mate 💋💖👏 xxx
Saw him last year. His show was wonderful. He is so funny. He loves making people laugh. His show was supposed to last 3 hours but the audience would`nt let him leave the stage. He carried on for another 90 minutes. Even outside he was chatting with his fans standing outside. It was a night to remember. Thanks Ken.
RIP Ken Thanks for making us Laugh so long!
i miss seeing Ken Dodd and originals like him, used to love seeing him when i was growing up..still brings a smile to my face and a laugh to my heart

Twenty-three years later, gone but not forgotten. RIP Sir Ken Dodd.
Did they actually Knight the fraud?
Saw him in Scarborough at the long lost Futurist theatre. It was the best, and longest show I can remember. I still remember oompah oompah stick it up your jumper, charcoal charcoal... steady on missus 🤣🤣🤣
Ken was a legend one of the best comedian great Britain has ever had there will never never be any like him again
thank you for this - just bought a tear to my eye when doddy walked down the aisle in the beginning - it shows how loved he is
We need some more of this comedy, wonderful 😊
A fine tribute to a wonderful and unique entertainer.....................RIP Doddy!
You can see how much he was loved by everyone. It's still hard to accept that he's not here anymore 😔 Thank you for the Laughs, the Tears and Happiness Sir Ken 💖
Rebecca. Well said, and of course true. A legend we dearly miss today.
RIP ken! You brought a smile to many people young and old. You will be missed Sir 😊
one of the truly funny men ,he didnt have to swear like the so called comedians we have now.
One of the most beautiful souls ever.
A champ.
Wow, the bit where Vince Hill and Ken sang Tears got me. And backed by the Mike Sammes Singers also. Priceless! Loved it.
RIP SIR KEN ( OF DODD ) & THANKS 4 THE LAUGHS & MEMORIES ☺ R.E.S.P.E.C.T 2 YOU 👍 & GOD BLESS YOU 💖 ( SOUL FREE ) X X X
RIP Ken. This should be reshown as a tribute
Rip Ken , the funniest guy I ever seen .
awesome part of my life growing up
Love you Ken, you will be sooo missed, maybe i may see you in Heaven, and you can make me laugh for the millionth time, R.I.P. Ken
He spills gags like AK47, sheer genius, and gave pleasure to millions. I'm of the python stable but this guy crosses so many genres
doddy brings back my childhood again an am 50
seen Doddy twice in 2 years now. the man is so funny, and no swearing either. Doddy, your a real life living legend and i salute you Sir
RIP Ken Dodd. the best stand up.Never to be beaten.
this was when tv was worth watching , so great
This man embodies all that is great about Great Britain. Nowadays everything is amazing, fantastic and brilliant and TV personalities are national treasures.However there is no-one like Ken Dodd for sheer professionalism,longevity and wonderful spiritedness. As funny and kind a man at the stage door as on the stage. Go to one of his Happiness Shows for a 5 hour show and you will leave aching with laughter but on a wave of joy and love. His audiences adore him because they have grown up and old with him and because his show is an experience good for the soul.I have seen him a dozen times and know some of the jokes but we keep going back each year to Eastbourne because he is unique and we feel so uplifted afterwards.
Thank you so much for putting this on.
I went to one of his shows once, walked out with boredom, and a very sore arse.

Well, sitting on your brain does that.
i cried within the first three minutes of this video - due to absolute look of sheer surprise, appreciation and happiness in kenn dodds face. what a modest and unassuming man, a true star. i love the guy, he deserves a knighthood no matter what!
Best ever comic....love you Ken ❤️
Just gave this its 1000th like
Lovely man very funny and good singer !
Never really got it on for Ken Dodd until now but wow what a clever man he was something now I appreciate him great entertainer Ken Brill!
A lovely man.❤
85 Years old and still entertaining. So called comedians of today take note! The man should have been knighted years ago.
Without question one of the all time great entertainers he always had time for his huge number of fans. Incredibly intelligent guy and likeable. ❤
An outstanding showman and the quintessential professional in every sense. So glad he lived a clean life and wasn't caught up in that filth like the others.
The world is a better place for having had Ken in it. RIP Sir.
Dody may you rest in P.I.P. Big man you are a true Legend....miss you so so much..... Lots of Love......🌷🌷🌷♥♥♥♥♥
You'd just switch Doddy on like a light and off he'd go. Brilliant one off entertainer !
And he still remembered the whole Diddymen song.
Dodd is a great Welsh surname. The Dodd family definitely have the Welsh look and features. This has to be the best "This is your life" ever.
Probably the last of our Great comedians. r.i.p. Sir Ken (You are sadly missed)
Hey I am also from Belgium, and was born in Antwerp city....I always have the greatesd respect for people like Ken Dodd because they do the most important job in the world, they make people laugh and thats what we need in a world like this! The UK had a lot of great comedians....even Stan Laurel was born in Great Britain and he was the biggest of them all! Here in Belgium we dont have that much tallented comedians...The best we had was Gaston and Leo and Holland had Toon Hermans, André Van Duin...and thats it Hoeray for all the funny comedians, they will always be rememberd by the public
I have also met Ken Dodd and found him to be very down to earth and a gent of the highest order.
WE have never given him the recognition he deseaves
ken was made a knight in 2016 and given the award at buckingham palace from prince william in march 2017...sir ken dodd OBE WAS GIVEN IN 1982
That Ken Dodd impression is spot on!
an absolute legend.. he did a gig at telecom buildings some 25 years ago, he came on at 950pm and went off at 230am, non stop comedy, they took a bloke out who could not breathe for laffing, doddy you are a national treasure and i cant wait see you at Victoria Hall in Hanley in 3 weeks.
Ken Dodd value for money. Worth every penny.
Saw and met the great man last night, a Brilliant and kind man
I was so happy when I heard Ken Dodds "love is like a violin, in the Disney Live Action Remake of Cruella, he is know for his comedy, but he was a remarkable singer and was the third biggest selling artist in the UK in the 1960s quite am achievement by anyones standards
I love him so much he’s adorable ☺️❤️❤️❤️
Great to watch this again, the greatest comedian we have ever had, seen him many times, God Bless you always Doddy, fantastic !
The ultimate...totally on his own...RIP Dear Doddy...
he has a great singing voice
Ken Dodd reflects the QUALITY of Comedians that walk the boards in those days. They were Comedians!!!!!!!!
I recently carried out some work at Kens home and his wife was lovely I only seen Ken once but he was exactly how I thought he would of been (a Legend) Morning Lads he said Morning Ken....eh How do you get a fat girl into bed?? Before we had time to comment Ken says piece of cake!! Me and my mate fell about laughin as he turned round and walked away......Top bloke!! Still laugh to this day about it!! Thanks Ken & Wife
Neil Trimnell wwzAw
Neil Trimnell He only married his partner a few weeks before he died...at the age of 90...!😚😊😋
Neil Trimnell ...Did he also say,"Just going up into the attic,lads, to get your wages...?!"😊
Loved him. AS a kid grew up watching him on TV...just a unique and genuine character...you just couldnt not love him...just brilliant...authentic and I believe a gentle and kind soul. Being such a believable person...was his mark...a good good man xxxx

We will never see the likes of him again ❤
He was a lovely careing man.R.I.P.ken.you will be sadly missed by all that known you.sleep well.god bless you.
Such a great man, such a great comedian .. such an AWFUL accountant.
Just watching him shake hands as he came in reminds me of the story many theatres around the UK will tell - that no matter how long it had been since Doddy played that theatre he remembered EVERYONE'S name, childrens names, favourite colour, favourite joke .. he was a try master of music hall theatre and will be greatly missed. A legend and I am so proud to have seen him live.
SEE KEN DODD A LOT
GREAT GEOFF STOCKPORT CHESHIRE
Hardest working showman saw him at Southport.
Came on at 7,30 and finished 1am

Tears in my eyes... Rest in peace sir ken
Forgive my ignorance, but is there a statue of Sir Ken Dodd anywhere? If there isn’t, there certainly should be. Now that’s a statue worth having!
Yes there is a statue of Ken in Lime Street Station next to one of Bessie Braddock
My parents took me to see him in Scarborough when I was 11. I fell asleep laughing at midnight.
and you were 13 when he finished
