His autobiography is great reading too. He's packed so much into his life, and had a pretty hard time too. Marvellous, marvellous man, right up there with Tommy Cooper for me.

Tommy Cooper another great. Just had to walk on stage to make me laugh.

Glad to know he's still soldiering on.
An absolute genius with a simple routine.

Must be my age, but I prefer the old style comics.
