...part were fitted to him in Savile Row, is the man who gives the chuckle to TV's 40,000,000 chuckleheads, but to those who know him he is a "lumbering pachyderm with the face of a pig, the smell of a skunk, the appetite of a tomcat and the voice of Joe Miller." He has a tapeworm hunger for the attention, laughter and love of 40 million people, an insatiable craving to receive all the gifts he himself is incapable of giving...
