Very sad. I enjoyed watching Dame Edna. He was an interesting person too.

Sorry to hear this, I had read that he'd been ill, so not altogether a surprise, as with Paul O'Grady in his Lily Savage persona, just loved Dame Edna, so funny, a master of backhanded compliments, particularly when aimed at his long suffering side kick, ageing bridesmaid Madge Alsop .

Very sad to read he has died. We saw him live on stage at the Theatre Royal in Newcastle a few years ago and he was brilliant.

So sad.

With Paul O’Grady, Victoria Wood, Tim Brooke-Taylor and others we have lost in the last couple of years there must be a heck of a party on a cloud somewhere.
