He was a fabulous comic. I'll tear myself away from Kate Bush on BBC4 and have a look.

He was great Kenny. His use of English was wonderful - so clever.

Indeed, EK, I'd forgotten how brilliant he was on Blankety Blank. His piano mis-playing was also superb.

That was very funny and a pleasant way to end the bank holiday weekend.

You may have read this Kenny but, if you haven't, it's a website extract about a Dawson biography which mentions his relationship with Prince Philip, specifically one funny incident:

'The new biography of Les Dawson reveals that he and the Prince once had an argument about black pudding. Les thought it should be boiled while the Prince said it should be fried. Some time later, Les repeated on television his preference for boiling. A letter duly arrived from the Palace. The sheet of paper inside contained two handwritten words. One was ‘Fried’ followed by exclamation marks. The other was ‘Philip’.'
