[News] Doddy’s Dead

[Questions]

Self assessment ? Doddy : I invented it.

He wasn’t a miser with his cash, he just liked collecting pictures of the queen.

My father in law shared a bill with him as a semi-pro musician and said Monkhouse was the nicest and most generous entertainer he ever worked with. The worst of them was Lenny Henry he reckoned.

strange how you hear different views. A friend used to work backstage and said Monkhouse was great to work with. He said the best was Les Dawson,and the worst by a mile was Bruce Forsythe

He dies as both a comedy legend and a tax-dodging legend.

The accountants among us cannot failed to have noticed news of him marrying his fiancée of 40 years 2 days before his death, saving a fortune in Inheritance Tax. I'm sure HMRC will be "tickled" with that!

It will only defer it a little while.

RIP, a comedy legend.

 

[Saladpack Seagull]

Comedy genius with a unique style. Was able to use TV to promote his comedy in a way which, being of an earlier era, Brighton's own Max Miller. sadly could not. But they both had their live audiences absolutely transfixed. RIP Sir Ken.

"The man who invented cats' eyes got the idea when he saw the eyes of a cat in his headlights. If the cat had been going the other way, he would have invented the pencil sharpener."

"Is Dodd your real name?"
" No, it's an anagram"

 

[GooGull]

A true legend and one of the few that I would have loved to see live. Sadly that never happened.

RIP Doddy

I'm watching a programme on Ch5 at the moment. Doddy- I like football. I could have played for Liverpool, but I couldn't spit far enough!

He's even relevant when he's gone.

Doddy's funeral today. Watching the Sky news coverage and the reporter was interviewing Jimmy Tarbuck, when all of a sudden a little old dear interrupts with "Ooh, are you Roy Hudd?". "Yes dear, I'm Roy Hudd, what a day I'm having" he replies.

When he had his run-in with HMRC for non-payment of tax (in a lengthy court case in 1989, which he won) in his defence he pleaded that the charges against him were flawed in that he wasn't subject to the rules of the Inland Revenue ..…because he lived by the seaside!
