... but any reason for the link? I thought he'd died for a moment. Still, the internet assures me he's still alive so I'll post one of my favourite comedy routines. One for the youngsters.

...that has to be one to of the best comedy bits ever...although I think the Morecombe & Wise 'Morny Stannit' bit is my all-time fave..

Here's a link to his Desert Island Discs episode. What a lovely man.
