RIP Des
Like Bob Monkhouse I just didn't find him funny
Clearly a decent bloke though
Always liked his chat show especially when Freddie Starr was on. Des had a lot to do with keeping Freddie’s career going with his appearances on the show.
I yearn for pop classics such as Dick a Dum Dum. RIP Des
I enjoyed Freddie Starr in my childhood days but looking back, he was little more than an anarchic Norman Wisdom.Quote:

You are right though, it was as though Des was his agent.
RIP Des.
No, he wasn't funny to me either.Quote:

Freddie Starr was a one trick pony in my opinion , bloke had a terrible battle with alcohol mindQuote:

He was a Val Doonican type of entertainer, didn’t have any particular strength in any but was easy on the eyeQuote:

Hardly. As a singing act he was bigger than The Beatles in Liverpool. They used to warm up for him and Ringo copied his last name.Quote:
