Ken Dodd - Nostalgia Central |
 | | Ken Dodd, OBE, Britain's King of Comedy, was also a major recording artist in the 1960's with hits like Tears (one of the biggest selling UK singles of all time), Love is Like a Violin and many other slushy sentimental songs, much loved by mums and grandma's. |
 | | Ken Dodd burst onto the local holiday scene in 1955, still virtually unknown, in the Central Pier's Let's Have Fun summer show, where the stars were Morecambe and Wise. |
 | | The chaotic comedy of the toothy, wild-haired comic with the weird props and wonderful words of his own invention, was an instant hit, much to the delight of legendary star-spotter Peter Webster who had seen him at the resort's Queen's Theatre in October, 1954, on a variety bill headed by Frankie Vaughan. |
