"I know nobody is keen on the idea of dying but there are some people who I just feel are just so full of life you can't imagine them ever dying cos of their lust for just being here - yet its inevitable theyre gonna go soon too. Rolf Harris and Bruce Forsythe being two of them. Also Patrick Moore, David Attenborough and Dennis Healey. Such legends in our time. Good lord I feel positively maudling now!!

"I know he's not dead, but Saturday night TV is really not the same without Michael Barrymore. If one entertainer was gauranteed to lift my spirits and get me laughing it was him. Fabulous sense of humour and it's such a shame his career was hamstrung by one night of madness." He's not dead....but unfortunately his career is well and truly dead.

" i saw alan carr live before he hit the 'big time' and he was much funnier than i find him these days. as a live (and unrecorded) act, his jokes, stories, wisecracks, come backs and put downs were fantastic i think tv and dvd place constraints on the content of the performance. that said, i am also a big fan of the older comics including (shock horror)bernard manning. having again seen him live on a few occasions, he was genuinely funny. i think he made a 'show' of himself with the deliberately bigoted attempts at humour, but his wise cracks, piss taking and heckler put downs were often far funnier than the jokes you already knew the punchline too | |||

"Victoria Wood's Barry and Freda (Let's Do It So damn funny www.youtube.com/watch?v=OZCIKjYDf1g She's mad! " She's actually very clever (as well as mad). If you listen to her humour and how it is written, it deliberately makes reference to brands that we would recognise. The comedy of association draws in a large amount of people because we understand instantly the points of reference. so for example, she wouldn't refer to a biscuit as a biscuit, it would be 'a mcvities chocolate hobnob' so the term of reference draws us straight in | |||
