Thank you for posting that link. I have listened all the way through. Such a wonderful entertainer and evidently such a very lovely person too.

I once tried using "chicken" as a password, but was told it must contain a capital so I tried "chickenkiev"
On another occasion, I tried "beefstew", but was told it wasn't stroganoff.

I used to really enjoy watching him in Give Us a Clue on TV in the 80s.
