Max Bygraves dies aged 89

Veteran comic and entertainer Max Bygraves has died at the age of 89, it has been confirmed.

British Comedy Guide, 1st September 2012

Anyway the hour passed pleasantly enough if you didn't worry too much about some of the animals' uneasiness. I liked Rod Hull's emu. Most of Spike Milligan's shaggy dog jokes. And bits of Mr Bygraves. And so would the alligator, given the chance.

Though the hour, by Spike Mullins and Eric Davidson was above average funny and there was one joke about Des O'Connor which I shall hoard and pass off as my own.

Nancy Banks-Smith, The Guardian, 28th October 1971
