I would just like to congratulate Ken Dodd on his Knighthood.I think it is long overdue, and even allowing for his run in with the Inland Revenue he should have had it years ago in recognition of his outstanding career and contributions to charity. So well done Sir Ken. thumbsup thumbsup

I second that. Long overdue ! He seemed to get stuck at the bottom of the pile, poor old chap.
Good luck and congrats to him.

I suppose with all the celeb deaths last year they thought they better give him it.
My lad served him in Holland and Barrat and while he was fumbling amongst his credit cards my lad quipped "pick a card--any card" Miserable sod didnt think it funny!
Agree its about time he got it.

I'm afraid he's not my cup of tea.If he comes on I turn off. The thought of being trapped in a theatre listening to him would be torture for me personally, but I appreciate many people love him and he deserves recognition all the years he's been around.
