    Hadn't heard of him. Considering he was 89 with Alzheimer's, it's probably a welcome death.

    A big big star in his time. Have to admit I was surprised he was still alive.

    You haven't heard the classic song: You're a pink toothbrush, I'm a blue toothbrush.:)


    He was one of stars of the past who did comedy, film, tv and singing (easy listening style). His catchphrase was 'Let me tell you a story.' He also did game shows on TV and Sunday Night at the London Palladium. He was one of the old school entertainers who did a wide variety of things like a left over from Vaudeville. Hard for the young to relate to but he was big in his time and had a very long career.

    Not wishing to be a pedant but I think it was "I wanna tell you a story".

    My favourite song of his was "You need hands".

    Well he was nearer your age than mine:)

    He managed to reinvent himself to keep his career going and he was loved. The same way as Bruce Forsyth has done.

    I see a double date coming on here Joe ... if you meant Rachel and her Mummy?

    And I must also point out that you must have a wise head on your shoulders, to be checking out the Mummy first. My Dad always said "look at the mother son, because that's what she'll turn out like"
