I thought the same. Then realised it was Rod Hull I was thinking of (fell off a roof repairing his aerial).I have to shamefully admit I thought he died a few years back..
I was hearing this morning he died in the same house he was born in.. Imagine that.
RIP Ken,
Nope I cannot.Now he's gone can anyone name one really funny UK comedian still alive, I can't think of one.

Rowan Atkinson (Past his prime Blackadder days but he's still alive)
Genuinely saddened at this news. He was a dedicated entertainer and a very funny man, who gave so much to his fans, making them laugh to the very end. Good clean fun. Never had to resort to smut or Effin and blindin’ to make people laugh. He will be sorely missed. RIP Doddy.
I remember watching him on the telly as a nipper - a man who had such stage presence he could make the most innocuous of sentences funny just in the way he delivered it. To still be performing in your late 80s though is amazing - what an innings. Utterly, wonderfully eccentric and mad - the world is poorer for his passing.
