Hopefully back up in the sky laughing and having the p*ss taken out of him by Eric and Ernie.

A mate just sent me the castella advert with Russ Abbott fishing and putting Des’s music on to scare the fish out of the water,and I click on here and find out he’s dead.
Coincidence?
I think his best moment on tv was when Stan Boardman told his Fokker joke live on his afternoon show.
RIP Des.

I think his best moment was when Pamela Stephenson pretended to have a live gun in the studio...

Turns out it was Bob Monkhouse.

This damned memory

I can remember when we set
off on the road to our
horizon! It was bloody
years ago! We had a labour
government, you could eat
beef. Des O'Connor was
white. And look at us now!

Des seemed a genuinely great bloke.

I think those of us of a certain age are seeing those we grew up watching and listening to come to the end of their road.

And yet despite a life of drink, drugs and debauchery, Keith Richards will probably outlive that pup we bought from Southend!!

Icons of your generation, of course, because they're all advanced in years. Few in their 20/30's would be aware of Des O'Connor's life and work.

Years ago my mother told me that he used to hang around her school in Dulwich trying to pick up the sixth form girls. He would have been in his mid 20s (and by all accounts wasn't very successful at it).
Young chap with a bit of fame trying to put it about... seems par for the course. But other than that, he seems to have had a remarkably squeaky clean career - perhaps that's how you stay in show business for so long. RIP
