Th title of STAR in the true sense deserved.

He was a friend of my mums family all the way through school and just like them his family was piss poor. He did so well for himself and they were all proud of him. My uncle was his constant childhood companion and when he died, just a few years ago, Bernard wrote a beautiful letter to my mum which genuinely brought her some comfort. Better than being successful and famous, and more importantly, he was a good man. RIP Bernard.

I was somehow fascinated by this show when I was very young and it influenced my taste in music as much as anything on the radio did.

No one comes close to Ken what he his so sadly missed him and Freddie Star the greatest ever God Bless both of u i hope u are entertai ing them as u did us down here ❤️ 😅🎉❤x

They will never be another Ken

Wasn't looking for anything like this. So glad youtube's weird algorithm decided I should see it. This was hugely entertaining. What a showman we've lost.❤

What a man.

I wholeheartedly agree with the previous comment. We saw Soddy at the Kings Theatre in Portsmouth. We thought ahead. Booked a room in a guest house literally around the corner as we had heard his shows went on. And on and on. I've never laughed so much. It's a great shame that his style of comedy has more or less died with him Three weeks after Doddy passed away I was down at the local tip and found 2 of his albums: 1 was a greatest hits released in the 80's the other from the 1960's recorded in mono The whole album was in superb condition I played it once recording it onto a mini disc. The album is carefully wrapped and stored and I have a copy which will last several lifetimes. My thanks to the kind person who posted this clip. A rare treat indeed . My best wishes to one and all and whenever possible take a leaf out of Doddy's book a Nd spread some happiness.

Saw him in Glasgow many years ago, only one word " brilliant"

Why wasn’t Bernard Cribbins knighted? 4

“Don’t go down to the coal shed Dad, there’s enough slack in your trousers”!

A true British icon, and still sadly missed to this very day.

I am 74 years old now, and there are a few people (mostly comedians) who make me feel privileged to have experienced in the time that I've had on this planet. Ken Dodd is one of them. A comic genius! Not so much missed in my mind, but so well STILL remembered and enjoyed. Comics such as Ken Dodd, Eric and Ernie, Tommy cooper, Eric Sykes, Ronny Barker...(ETC.). Well they're not really dead, are they?

A paramedic colleague of my brother once attended Ken Dodd when he had been taken ill on stage, possible heart issue. In fact he was ok but Ken thanked the paramedic and handed him an envelope and said 'here's a drink for you!'. When he opened it later inside was..... a tea bag!

Oh Ken, how much we miss you.

Wow. Quite the talented singer. :) did he ever sing seriously? Anything y'all suggest I look up by him if so?

I love the aesthetic. I love this idea of everyone dressing up in a classic dress like this, brilliant. He very much seems like what I imagine a talented 16th century court jester to have been like. A lot of "silly billy willy dilly" nonsense, complete with fart and finger in your bum hole jokes.

It must be the white trash American in me cause I didn't do anything but cringe the entire time. It felt as if I was watching a comic skit from Alice in wonderland. I apologize world. Rip Sir Dodd... I have failed you. :(

Irreplaceable comic genius.

Genius. Saw the gentleman, and he most definitely was, throughout 60 years. A life force, and a wonderful one.

Brilliant video absolutely amazing RUclips Channel.

Ken Dodd a little gem

Good ole Ken, a one off, never to be equalled

I was lucky enough to see him twice and both times i came out crying with laughter. I remember the first time I saw him he said " I hope you have all fetched your sleeping bags" It was going up for One in the morning when he finally came off the stage. Brilliant guy. Rest in peace Ken.

I was asked who my life-idol was. Who I most venerated in all the world. I thought of the Dalai Lama and Nelson Mandela, but I came back to Berrnard Cribbens. Bernard Cribbens makes being a human a bit more respectable.

As a 12 year old boy I was taken by my parents to see him at Blackpool Opera House in 1969. It was in the summer holidays and it was also the time when the Scottish pits closed for a week. Invariably the miners holidayed in Blackpool. As I sat in the theatre before the lights dimmed, I looked around at all the dour, humourless faces that surrounded me. I remember thinking that they’re not going to be easily entertained! The lights dimmed and four hours later as Ken left the stage and the lights came on, all I could see was a plethora of pitmen with tears of laughter literally still rolling down their faces. I’ll never forget that scene.

Seen this great man live twice. Without doubt the greatest English stand up comedian of all time.

Superb

Brilliant in every manner. I stayed in England from 1953 to 1970 and I loved the British sense of humor which I followed closely and kept me sane. It was family entertainment unlike the modern stuff coming from what they call entertainers! After 1970, I felt sorry to see that Britain was changing due to the new social influx with new cultures, allowed to come into Britain at a very fast rate .

What an entertainer he truely was.

"Quick, they're in... lock the doors.'

ONE of the best entertainers ever

No amplification ? I hope .

A national treasure

This is how you capture an audience. Underplayed - effortless - hilarious.

Irreplaceable ❤

I love the way in which even the people in the audience are dressed up in old-fashioned music hall costumes.

What a unique talent this man had, so sadly missed. The line 'its what we call in show business a shaft of wit'! 😂

He said when he passaway bbdo nt be sad bebbhapppy 😮

Met him at rutland fishing a few times,nice fella,tight lines up there blue.

Too wonderful for words.still miss him today.

Unprecedented. Unique. Unequalled. RIP Doddy.

I only saw him live once, probably around the time he did this Good Old Days performance. I was quite young, so don't remember it that well, only that we were all in fits of laughter. We will never see his like again. Today's so-called comedians could take lessons from him.

I saw him when he was well into his 80s; he did four hours, 8pm till after midnight. What an amazing talent. Tears running down our faces; fantastic evening.

Loved watching these shows from back then when I was a kid in the 70s, born 23rd May 1968 from northern Ireland UK

Brill!. RIP Bernard!. Nuff said.

So lucky to have seen Sir Ken live. Never to be forgotten

Such a superb performance, the mix of recall, the quality of the writing, the singing, the gestures, and the timing as he responds to the audience, it's all there and it's just wonderful.

Where did Britain go?
