He always seemed to be on TV when i was growing up. The butt of many a joke, good all round entertainer.
RIP Des.

We have no village green, or a shop. It's very, very quiet. I can walk to the pub.

RIP Des.


I read that he wrote those jokes that he was the butt of, usually from Morecombe and Wise.

Thought for today. He was 88 and has a teenage son.

R.I.P. all round entertainer Des

Loved his chat shows. Freddie Starr always credited Des with making him famous. Brilliant at just going with the flow. People always mocked him, but loved him at the same time.

Interviewer on R4 this morning said she'd interviewed hundreds of people in her professional career, and he was the nicest person as well as the most professional of all of them.

Another of the great all round entertainers gone. Always loved his self-depreciating humour as well and he didn't mind when others would poke fun at him (remember the cigar advert with Russ Abbott fishing and putting Des albums on to catch the fish?). RIP Des.
