The consummate entertainer.

RIP Des

[SLUDGE FACTORY]

Like Bob Monkhouse I just didn't find him funny

Clearly a decent bloke though

[SOXY BOY]

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.

I now look back on Freddie Starr material and cringe.

You are right though, it was as though Des was his agent.

RIP Des.

No, he wasn't funny to me either.
He was an all rounder though, he could sing (sort of), compere had his own shows with star guests and had a kind of gentle nature about him which people liked.

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

He was better than Graham Norton that's for sure

[Former Labour leader]

Not my cup of tea, but I understand his appeal as a family entertainer.
RIP Des

[splott parker]

Oh yes , he was a decent family entertainer , my old dear would watch him and Bruce fivesythye

And he was a decent footballer too

I’m sure I remember him playing for the All Star Xi in the Aberfan Disaster appeal game.

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.

He still didn't have much about him , zany humour
