My estimate: 9 days!

And you've actually taken time to work that out. That's impressive. No, not impressive - what's the word I'm looking for? Ah yes - dismal, that's the one.
Has anyone mentioned Dustin Gee on this thread? Les Dennis' more talented former double-act partner?
EDIT: Oh, Griff did last year. Good, well that's put my mind at rest.
Has anyone mentioned one of the real greats?
Bob Monkhouse

I was going to mention Bob. Reading his biographys and I really like them/ him.
Also, I assuming Bill Hicks has been mentioned...? I'll mention him just in case he hasn't.
Bill Hicks.

A joke-stealing hack.
He was a massive thief of other comedians' material. I've got no time for him simply because of that.

That's far less than a couple of members of 'The Rolling Stones'...
Peter Sellers wasn't that old (early 50s) and the young cast of Two Pints of Lager who died tragically every week (surely someone has already made that tired gag?).
