Oh Crimson, how could seeing Doddie ever be a mistake? He's the only comic to ever have caused me to roll in the aisle - and a mucky aisle it was, too, all gum and tram tickets... It was a very long time ago - he's probably finished his act by now...

Makes you wonder what kind of relationship he had with his mother. Feel rather sorry for anyone with such blinkered views.

Google 'Patrick Moore Misogynist' and you might get a shock!

I took my son to see him many years ago as I assumed then he wouldn't be around for much longer. We also made the mistake of going to see Ken Dodd at round about the same time but managed to escape at the interval.RIP Patrick Moore; lets hope you're somewhere up there amongst the stars...

DH said he saw him not too long ago and in his opinion he seemed to be failing. 89 is a good age and I am pleased for him that he was at home.

Oh, how sad. My son has just told me the news. I was only watching him a few nights ago and observing how on top of the Mars exploration he was. Looks like he knew he was on his way and died at home after leaving hospital.
