Ken Dodd - 34 days c/o Embassy Theatre, Skegness

Doddy is a favourite of mine since my early childhood watching the Diddymen, and I have written to him before. One of the great family entertainers from an era that has been sadly whitewashed from modern television and is greatly missed. I sent him one of my 4x6 Doctor Who photos, and it was returned signed and dedicated with a signed letter in my reply envelope. Also in the post was a 2nd envelope as mentioned in Doddy's letter to me which contained a signed theatre brochure he generously sent to me. That was really nice of him and totally unexpected. I shall be writing a thank you letter this evening.

Jane - I'm not surprised, he really is a nice man. When I first wrote to him in 2002 I asked him if any dvds of the Diddy Men were available or due to be released as I was curious to see if Mandy (our daughter - autistic/learning difficulties) would get on with them. Not only did he sign our pic, but he sent another pic with a signed doodle and dedication for our daughter, plus an audio cassette of the Diddy Men for her. Here's the doodle he did for her -
