It was smashing working with Jerry Desmonde, he was a very nice chap.

I was in the band as a boy and was taught music and learned to compose.

I used to first go on to entertain an audience. But now I go, and this is really true - I go on to have fun with a crowd of my chums.

At my age, the radiation will probably do me good.

My comedy is for children from three to 93. You do need a slightly childish sense of humour and if you haven't got that, it's very sad.

All my boyhood, all I ever wanted was to be loved.

I can never tell a joke, I've always found it easier to just fall over.
