Sir Ken Dodd's career spanned over 70 years in show business and might I say at the Top of his game. He was Liverpool's very own and even The Beatles adored him as one of the greatest comedians we have ever seen.
Doddy as he was known to millions had an encyclopaedia of a mind for comedy words, gags, routines and song whilst also topping the charts with his own albums as he had a beautiful voice he didn't even need comedy to earn his living.
Ken Dodd stayed true to his roots and never left his childhood home in Knotty Ash, Liverpool. He was Mr Variety, the GodFather of Comedy and King of the Diddy men.
Although we lost Ken aged 90, he was still planning to return to the stage to continue touring but nature took its course and took from us an idol and someone who inspired many generations of comedians, actors, singers, magicians and ventriloquists across the country.
In my final podcast in tribute to Sir Ken I talk with his friends, writers, support acts and his dear wife Lady Anne Jones about the man they loved and adored. And now he has left us there is more Doddy out there than ever so he will always be in Liverpool.
