He wasn't my cup of tea but he was held in high regard by many people.
Amazing he married his partner 2 days before. RIP Sir Ken.

Apparently he married his partner that late because apparently life insurance doesn’t get taxed if your marriage is only days old. Good lad

Liked Ken Dodd. I remember watching an audience with Ken Dodd years ago and loved it.

A great, great comedian. A really good singer with number 1 and top ten hits. A very gifted impressionist. A great ventriloquist, and he never deprived the tax man of one penny - because he had to pay it back.

R.I.P Doddy - You were one of the true comedy greats.

Just found this clip of him. I wasn't that aware of him, but it looks like he was quite an all rounder.

I had a massive problem with his tax dodging, but Ive seen on Facebook people finding it hilarious he dodged paying tax to the very end, do they not think the tax he dodged could help the NHS ?
