[edit] TV Series

As I remember, Ken Dodd did several TV series in the 1970s - if anyone has any details about them, they'd certainly be worth adding to the article, please! New Thought 20:44, 7 November 2007 (UTC)

One was definitely called "Funny You Should Say That !" —Preceding unsigned comment added by 83.198.251.30 (talk) 21:58, 1 January 2008 (UTC)

[edit] Yorick

I'll say it just once - Billy Crystal plays the gravedigger. Ken Dodd plays Yorick in silent flashback. This is confirmed by the film credits as well as the director's commentary. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 72.150.143.180 (talk) 16:20, 12 October 2007 (UTC)

IMDB lists Ken Dodd as playing Yorick, not either of the two grave diggers. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 66.25.177.3 (talk) 23:08, 30 September 2007 (UTC)

Ken Dodd is better than Julio Inglisis! Yippee!

Why do you say that? Has Ken beaten his (alleged) record of bedding 10,000 women, it's quite possible!

[edit] Tour

Doesn't Ken Dodd have some sort of project to perform at every theatre in the UK or something? Worth a mention. Cutler 11:22, 15 March 2006 (UTC)

And at nearly eighty the finest stand-up in the country

[edit] Cleanup

There are a few qoutes that are not cited, and some of it reads like an autobiography, hence the cleanup tag.

Now fixed, added refs and other tidyups. --Oscarthecat 22:19, 4 February 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:KDHS1.jpg

Image:KDHS1.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images uploaded after 4 May, 2006, and lacking such an explanation will be deleted one week after they have been uploaded, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.BetacommandBot 04:48, 5 June 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Image

I don't feel that the image of Ken Dodd on this page is a true representation of what he looks like.

It shocked me at first, I saw him last year and I'm sure he hasnt aged this much.

Does anybody else share the same opinion?

I most certainly do! It's a dreadful, grotty picture and most certainly needs to be replaced! Cheers, Vera, Chuck & Dave (talk) 21:43, 18 February 2008 (UTC)

[edit] External Links

The link to the 'didtheydie' page is completly unnecassary and does not contribute to the article. Therefore, I am removing it. 86.20.115.233 (talk) 15:13, 19 February 2008 (UTC)
