When I was a child in the 50'sI saw him at the Palladium with Norman Wisdom when the TV studio staff were on strike. They did the whole show alone and it was brilliant. Their slapstick sketch as decorators was hilarious, but so clever. He was still so funny when he did the "Have I got news for you" years later in a completely different of comedy genre. Not many artists on can say they have lasted so long.
