Bob Monkhouse: The Million Joke Man

This is going to be on Gold some time this year. It looks like a good watch.

Thanks George - I'll be keeping an eye for this one! :D

Me too - you can't beat a bit of Bob!

Legend.

After reading his Crying With Laughter: My Life Story many years ago, I found out by a devious route where he lived and wrote telling him how much I enjoyed it, and he sent me a long hand written letter back thanking me - not many would bother. Confirmed to me what a lovely man he was. :)

If you haven't read it then do - lot of saucy anecdotes, which surprised me and for which he got criticised at the time.

Related are we Michael?

Bob Monkhouse wrote and drew comics as well . . . http://lewstringer.blogspot.co.uk/2015/03/the-art-of-bob-monkhouse.html His vision of alien life would certainly get him on some hot water these days . . .

Loved the four anecdotes :D
