He was without peer - the funniest man I'd ever seen on tv, never had to resort to filth or smut to get a laugh.
Quote:
He was diagnosed with prostate cancer two years ago, and was given an implant in his stomach and a daily pill to allow him to keep working.
Asked about his health, he joked: "I saw a specialist who asked me 'Are you familiar with the phrase faecal impaction?'.
"I said I think I saw that one with Glenn Close and Michael Douglas."
