Ken Dodd was interviewed on BBC Radio Leeds' afternoon "One on One" program which is an hours worth of chat with a random local business person or celeb - 'twas not at all what I expected as he had 50 minutes worth of serious discussion with Martin Kelner about his life and how he got into the business, he's a very religious bloke too and kept mentioning his god throughout the interview - I say 50 mins worth because he was ten minutes late getting into the Manchester studio that he was linked from, when he eventually turned up he apologised for being late as he'd thought that it was going to be a recorded interview and not a live one, they just had to play fill-in music until he arrived
One of my favourite put-downs was on an old B&W TV clip from the 1960s when Frankie Howerd was presenting "Sunday Night At The London Palladium" and Bruce Forsyth did his ten minute song-and-dance man act, at the end as he was taking a bow Frankie Howerd walked on applauding and ushered Forsyth off the stage all the time applauding and calling "Bruce Forsyth everyone, Bruce Forsyth, give him a big hand..."
When Forsyth had left the stage Frankie Howerd gave one of his theatrical looks over his shoulder into the wings to check that he'd gone then leaning to the audience whispered, "Wasn't he awful?"
