I remember Doddy being in court for tax evasion, a standing gag was if he got two years he'd do four.
Without looking it up,it was on Virgin Records,either 1977 or 78.Derek and Clive. All these years later it makes me titter.
Now that brings back forgotten memories. In my late teens I used to have a T shirt with one of two vultures saying that to his fellow vulture.
Saw Ken Dodd at the Carlisle Sands Sports' Centre... he was fantastic.If Ken Dodd could sit on stage for 4.5 hours in a 2 hour show & not utter one word of obscenity & still be hilariously funny why can't they? Mother & Father in Law saw him a few times, he would have the bus timetable on stage with him & when he started to overrun which was every time he would start advising people when they were due (buses) so that they could stay right up to the last minute.
We still laugh about watching him at the Adelphi Hotel, Liverpool in the 70s. One of the stories, which we can't remember, had the punchline "cos you're a nark pal".seen Ken Dodd a couple of times , book him for an hour, you get four.
You reminded me of an event I was at about 20 years ago. It was a golf event men only ( I was working I don’t do golf) , they had two after dinner speakers, one was a ‘66 England football player ( can’t remember who) and one was the comedian TomO’Connor. He stood for an hour and told the funniest gags, to a load of pissed up blokes, he pulled the roof in, and not a racist, sexist, foul word came from his lips. A real class act.
We saw Doddy 4 times over the years. First time was Porthmaddog in the 70s. We saw him again towards the end and were sort of sorry we did as he was losing it by then. Quite sad.Saw Ken Dodd at the Carlisle Sands Sports' Centre... he was fantastic.
Avez-vous cuppa, can you ride tandemThe PG Tips ads with the chimpanzees, definitely not PC in todays world.
The best one, and still makes me laugh every time I bump my head, "Duck Captain!" "That's not a duck! It's a seagull!" Bonk "Aaargh!" Splash.
"If you can hum it Son, I can play it!"

I bought that when it came out. I told my mum not to be tempted to listen to it. Came home late one night her and her fella pissing themselves listening to Jump you fecker jump!Derek and Clive Live..I like that a lot
Hancock. My dad's favourite, happy memories of us both sat watching Hancock's Half Hour on a tiny black and white set in the '60s while my mum and sister looked on without a flicker of a smile between them. Same with Tommy Cooper, both dad and I got him.
