The untimely death of Les Dawson has robbed us of one of Britain's best-loved TV personalities - the glum, rubber-faced, northern stand-up comic who made a fine art out of the mother-in-law joke; the game-show host whose subversive wit raised Blankety Blank to the realms of the surreal; the creator of the hilarious Cissie and Ada characters.

In this special tribute friends and admirers look back over the loveable "ugly mug's" brilliant career.
