As an exiled Devonian living in Nottingham I loved watching Jethro live and also his many his DVD's and jis TV appearances. His accent reminded me so much of my late Dad. RIP Jethro, you were a true comedian who will never be forgotten !!!

A very funny and cheerful joiner called Geoff Rowe did some work in my cottage in Nancledra , between St.Ives and Penzance, in 1973. I wonder what became of him. PS. I told him he should be on the stage. He said “I can’t , it left an hour ago”

Des O Connor was absolutely horrific at being a comedian, singer, presenter but the one thing he did get right was having Jethro on his show and just letting him do what he does best - make people laugh. What a loss to the comedy world. Such an amazing entertainer.

[@chrisclarke3443]

met Jethros agent once who told me how the Des O ' Connor show first came about. An American comedian pulled out of one of Des's show the day before it was due to be recorded. The agent knew Des personally and had been asking him to find a sport for Jethro - who at the time was not known outside of Cornwall - and so Des rang him and said that if Jethro could get to the recording immediately then he could take the spot. The rest is history

[@davidrogers9005]

I think he told the one about the train don't stop Camborne on Wednesday, classic!
