From his first professional performance in 1954 until his retirement in December 2017, Sir Ken Dodd was one of Britain’s favourite entertainers. His bizarre world of tickling sticks, jam butty mines, and Diddymen amused countless people. This insightful documentary film tells the story of Sir Ken’s incredible life and long career, from his record-breaking run at The London Palladium in the 1960s to his many television series and specials, countless summer seasons and variety shows, string of hit records, and touring one-man show that continued until his ninetieth year.
Sir Ken’s friends and colleagues discuss his one-of-a-kind and long-lasting relationship with the British public, and his wife Lady Anne reflects on his life with the stage and in Knotty Ash. The programme includes home movies and family photographs from Sir Ken’s personal archive in addition to rarely seen archive of his work on stage and television. Dara O’Briain, Ricky Tomlinson, Alex Horne, Jimmy Tarbuck, Stephanie Cole, Roy Hudd, Joe Pasquale, Ian St. John, Roger McGough, Bishop James Jones, and Claire Sweeney are just a sampling of the celebrities who were interviewed for this volume.
Narrated by Craig Charles.
