KEN DODD THIS IS YOUR LIFE 500th show part 2

Doddy This is your life and what laughter, enjoyment & pleasure you have given to all that love your wit and comedic talent on stage and on tv & radio. This is PART 2 of the 500TH edition of This Is Your Life introduced by Michael Aspel From 1995

[@purplerabbit7190]

That was the best this is your life. The touching moment was the sadness when the death of his fiancée was mentioned. Thankfully he had a beautiful partner next to him R. I. P. Doddy

[@tonyknight9912]

The greatest entertainer this Country has ever produced.

[@martinplatt5928]

Absolutely.

[@marylyons3716]

Ken has brought so much laughter into my life in last 18 months and kept me sane during a very tough time with physical and mental health gone down the tubes I am do grateful to you Ken Mary Lyons

[@simonramos6454]

R.I.P Sir Ken Dodd...! Roy Hudd summed it up perfectly...."The greatest stand up comic this country has ever produced". And for me, there will NEVER be another.

[@antonyhobbs1144]

This country lost the greatest ever comedian. Rest in Peace Sir Ken. And thank you

[@bellaboop1]

Oh how this makes you want to go back in time and home again ❤

[@bikingbirder2010]

My late wife wasn't thrilled when I said back in 2002 that I had two tickets to see my comedic hero at Bournemouth. Karen didn't want to go! After four hours plus of Karen screaming out in laughter and delight, the ladies of the row in front of her turned round and said "you enjoyed that, didn't you!" The privilege of seeing Ken perform live is just that, an absolute privilege and for giving Karen such a wonderful night I thank him. There are few celebrities that make you cry when you hear of their death. Ken . . . tears are souvenirs for you and Karen. Thank you, thank you, thank you. Happiness!

[@Trev359]

Well said.

[@maxkiberd]

So sad you lost your wife. Doddy believed in God and life after death, he was a Christian who attended communion with Anne everySunday. I share their faith and know that in the joyful hereafter l will say thanks to Ken and you will hold your dear wife again. Love and kindest wishes.

[@paultwiss199]

Superb!

[@paulinebate9692]

I grew up with Ken Dodd.. There will never be another like him.. God Bless Ken Dodd ❤ xx

[@robertcarpenter8245]

A true gentleman. One of the funniest men ever. Sadly missed, never forgotten.

[@1MogJon]

What a comedian, singer and actor......but more, what a man!!! RIP Sir Ken.

[@wendyhewitt8711]

The greatest comic ever. I saw him live many, many times and loved every show. I still miss him, his shows and his fantastic personality.

[@johnnewton219]

A true gentleman and a star. he will never be forgotten. R I P Sir Ken

[@nosmoking6573]

One of the nicest " This is your Lifes" i have seen .. Bless Him x

[@BobTaile]

How could he remember so many jokes and deliver each one as fresh each time. I never saw him in person but never missed a TV performance. My late wife loved him as much as all his stage & screen pals on this show. A selfless and decent human being. Such a pity his well deserved knighthood came so late and with so little time to enjoy it. His lovely wife Lady Ann is equally hard working and totally DESERVES her retirement and her title that she worked so hard for and equally dedicated her time to their charities. God bless them both xx

[@shirleydrury5565]

He was something else thank you doddy god bless you RIP xx❤❤

[@johnscott7686]

Don’t think there was anybody better a legend a joy to watch happinness

[@lynn69jackson]

I loved that his shows were affordable for everyone. The last time I saw him live was October 2017 and he was amazing. The time before that the show started at 7.30pm and I left the theatre at 2.20am and he was already 85 by then. You certainly got value for money.

[@jwilson2042]

There was no other like him, and there never will be. Dear Sir Ken, what a talent! 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@user-mr5hs6cr6q]

Best Comedian I have ever had the Privilege to see, and Humble to boot. Thank you Mr. Ken Dodd, God Bless You Sir.

[@chrislowell718]

,ken and bob monkhouse are up there, they did not need to use foul language to make people laugh rip guys x

[@Davy.J.Y]

Part one and two of this show was amazing, loved Ken Dodd so much. It was very sad but also very very joyful to watch these video's :)

[@TooLxGamingxAcademy]

how many of today's comedians will be remembered like Ken Dodd? none.

[@jameswood9553]

The curtain has now come down to all the best of entertainment to be so sorry to see Sir K Dodd to pass away and to have married his longtime sweetheart 2 days before he died ;God Bless him ;And sadly missed by every one '

[@wkworld6741]

@James Henderson evidence he was a racist?. If you feel that way then why are you watching a KZbin video with him in it?. Got nothing better to do with your time?. Pretty pathetic really that you have time to comment on videos of people you don't like. There's load of people I don't like but I've got better things to do with my time. You must have quite the empty life! Lol!

[@pauldg837]

What a performer, humanitarian and just such a decent person. A true legend who will be missed.

[@studio-flash]

Sir Ken Dodd of Knotty Ash..my relations didnt believe there was a real place called Knotty Ash in Liverpool..but there is and it's where Ken lived. I met him a few times and photographed him for an opening of a store and spent an afternoon with him, he was funny, kind and very professional. The greatest comedian Britain ever had, he was actually a precursor for the eccentric comedy of Monty Python.

[@bobbydazzler1780]

So lovely to see how much the great man was loved by his public. And how effortlessly Ken just launches into his act on stage - the place he was born to own, a giant in the comedy business there will never be another to take his place.

[@theyorkpub1905]

absolute genius never see the likes of doddy again rest in peace ken dodd

[@geoffmorris1769]

I was at secondary school in Bolton. We were reading 12th Night in English Literature and saw Ken in the theatre in Liverpool. He lit up the play as Malvolio. RIP a great man.

[@MrCatalysis101]

A great way to remember a true great. RIP

[@popazz1]

Ah, this actually brought a tear to my eye, bless him. Such a humble character and unquestionably the most entertaining individual in the industry. Lovely to see the late great Victoria Wood and then Eric Sykes who of course went on to appear in an episode of Dinnerladies, VW's terrific creation. And like Victoria, Sir Ken will be remembered long after their passing.

[@jazzman1626]

The world is darker without Sir Ken, now.

[@Tony-vw4pc]

The greatest,nobody will ever compare to Doddy

[@Cloudberry46]

A truly lovely man and the greatest of all comedians.

[@lion5352-z1s]

Bloody brilliant legend Ken ! Love him .

[@indyandnorbert1]

Dont you just LOVE Eric Sykes' comments, what a wonderful speech, had to fight back the tears - of happiness !!

[@clivestuarteardley6049]

Absolutely 💯 💯 💯 💯 brilliant. He was a Legend

[@DRAINPIPE57]

He is what is known as a unique national treasure of the imense class of british eccentrics of this great nation. Atotal oneoff and a lovely person to speak to as have many times and has time for his fans Arise Sir Ken of Knotty Ash 😀😁😂

[@colinoakes3503]

always funny . on stage and real life and as you say he is totaly unique

[@DRAINPIPE57]

DODDY IN ONE WORD ' LEGEND' I thank you !!

[@frazer601]

I laughed and cried at this.A sheer force of mirth and much more besides.

[@williamnoble294]

I was lucky enough to meet Ken, what gentleman

[@valwalker6773]

R.I.P.Sir Ken Dodd and Victoria Wood .

[@TheHorsebox2]

Beautiful human being. End of.

[@24tohayes]

This man embodies all that is great about Great Britain. Nowadays everything is amazing, fantastic and brilliant and TV personalities are national treasures.However there is no-one like Ken Dodd for sheer professionalism,longevity and wonderful spiritedness. As funny and kind a man at the stage door as on the stage. Go to one of his Happiness Shows for a 5 hour show and you will leave aching with laughter but on a wave of joy and love. His audiences adore him because they have grown up and old with him and because his show is an experience good for the soul.I have seen him a dozen times and know some of the jokes but we keep going back each year to Eastbourne because he is unique and we feel so uplifted afterwards. Thank you so much for putting this on.

[@louisethomas601]

Ken Dodd .a. true Great .He made us all laugh .and brighten up our lives .Never to be forgotten RIP Ken.

[@jjfarr72]

A wise old man told me one time, happiness is a frame of mind. When you go to measuring a man's success, don't count money, count happiness. On that basis, given all the joy he spread, Ken Dodd was the richest man who ever lived.

[@maxkiberd]

Yes to all comments. A sweet, gentle, kind, loving man who worked as hard as he could to use, develop and excel in the great gifts God gave him. At the pearly gates he will have had open arms ready to hug him. He believed deeply in Jesus Christ, took Communion every Sunday and loved everyone. I look forward to meeting you one day up there, dear Ken, l only truly discovered you after you died and thx to all the KZbin clips you have helped me through a hard year.

[@jjohnston1813]

What an amazing talent. Knotty Ash and Liverpool have been blessed beyond measure to have had Ken Dodd living in their midst for so very long. He gave his all, and his all was so sorely needed in times past and still today. Thankfully, he is still ever present with us, at the flick of a switch' via radio or television. Who could ask for more than this in this present day? May the legacy he left behind him endure forever. Rest in peace, Sir Kenneth Dodd. Jess.

[@robharding1957]

[@charlesgass2885]

Superb. There will never be another like Ken Dodd. He is the Master of comedy. Surely he deserves a knighthood for services to comedy.

[@donduncan5883]

Without doubt, the best that the UK has ever produced. There is no equal.

[@peterowen9183]

So much love for him from so many people, but what sums it up is Eric Sykes' line: 'everyone in that theatre was happy'. That says it all.

[@rsrfm24]

Best all round comedy entertainer lasts forever....RIP Sir Ken now entertaining the stars! 👏👏👏👏🤣😆🤡

[@degsbabe]

God, if you really want cheering up watch this or -an audience with.Brilliant. 'A Chippendale in a room full of G-plan' great line from Eric. Good to see Danny La Rue.

[@howardmckeown7187]

dunno about the cheering up, i cried buckets, LOL

[@Tidybitz]

One of, if not the best This is Your Life episodes.

[@Wattingers]

Surely it can't be much longer before we see Ken knighted? A comedy legend. Nice to see another legend at the end as well - RIP Eric Sykes

[@ianofliverpool7701]

This country has been blessed with many truly great entertainers but Ken was above them all

[@michellemagee7223]

What a wonderful piece of film, Ken rest in peace you are a true wonder of the world, thank you for the laughs

[@flynnterry9848]

The greatest comic, a genius, and a great study of humanity, and he is a real star never be another doddy. RIP. ,

[@janicegibbons205]

I think I was 4 years old when I saw Ken Dodd (+ the Diddy Men) at the Pavilion Theatre in Glasgow. Had front row seats with my 2 sisters, brother, Mum + Dad. Happiness x

[@stuartgraham3282]

Was there ever a funnier, more humble, down to earth man. RIP .

[@robertallen2832]

What a wonderful man he was.Tatty-bye and RIP Ken.

[@LeeJohn70]

I agree why do we not recognise real stars and stop giving to Bankers, Footballers and pop stars etc. Ken so much deserves a Knighthood and what a voice he has there are not many singers out there who can sing like Ken. Come on England wake up and do the right thing. There are not many greats left and many who have sadly passed away were never knighted.

[@brianupton6847]

Great show thanks 😊 BRIAN UPTON 👍

[@SRSM198]

I've never sat through a comedians jokes like dear Ken Dodd, what charisma the way he held an audience and the variety of his perfornances.

[@LeeJohn70]

I agree it seems that loads of Bankers and Persons who do not pay their taxes get rewarded but poor old Ken who has done so much plus more for the country gets forgotten (is there no justice in this world) come on give Ken what he deserves.

[@jimbeaumont2674]

Saw him at Birdsall St Railway Club in 1954 .3 hours.Brilliant

[@MichaelVincentMagic]

I saw him at the Winter Garden in Blackpool. Five hours later🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣the best I have ever seen🙏🏽

[@ianb9103]

To the KING of comedy Thankyou

[@paultwiss199]

A fantastic talent. Hope you are making them laugh up there Doddie.

[@bobparsons77]

That was one heck of a show.

[@JJmoony]

A shining diamond 💎

[@truckerfromreno]

The guvnor. Never be anyone as talented and original as Doddie. rIP.

[@ianturbitt6302]

I met Ken Dodd after one of his shows in Edinburgh and said, after seeing him with his Diddy Man 'Partner' "I've never seen a great ventriloquist for ages " "You didn't see one tonight either Ian !! Replied this humble GREAT man !!

[@GeoffreyJohns]

In an age of great comedy, Ken Dodd may have been the best

[@Hasenodyssee]

I really enjoyed watching that!! Ken Dodd always made me laugh and he always wil.

[@paultwiss199]

He had a look of terror when Danny La Rue sang his entrance song. 😁

[@janiswestwater8847]

totally agree !!why he has never been made a sir is beyond me. Ken has been a family favourite all my life,..I was brought up on him, my mums family are from Liverpool and my grandma loved him,as does my mum..and me too. Never a swear word, just silly, sometimes a little saucy but never smutty!. what a wonderful man ken is !!

[@jameswood9553]

HE WAS KNIGHTED SIR KEN DODD OBE ''

[@mcintyre0401]

He is truly one of the best, or the best comics that I have ever seen. I can remember watching many of his shows and I can say that he is a true inspiration to both young and old. The charity work That he does also is absolutely fantastic. Let's hope that when he has gone somebody can take his place and comedy doesn't die off coz who ever does has got a lot of hard work to be on the same level as him. Here's to you ken, the king of comedy! Thank u for all the happiness Colin McIntyre

[@michaelhampton9493]

You've said it all , Colin. A true comic genius. How long will it be before he gets the knighthood he so richly deserves. God bless King KEN.

[@leedearden7568]

[@hubs37]

Poor Victoria Wood is now not with us, but without doubt this was the best "this is your life " ever programmed a gentleman bar none, but where are the ones who can follow in Ken's footfall, I'm sorry to relate absolutely nowhere to be seen. The so called "comediens" are just full of profanities to desperately get a false laugh from a ignorant and phony audience these days.
