1) Ken 'in Dodd in the main article? Ken Dodd is about as funny as anthrax.

2) Tony Hancock gets an 'honorable mention'. Anthony Aloysius St. John Hancock III (to give him his full monicker) is much funnier than ANYONE on the main list.

3) Woody Allen should have got a mention , somewhere, surely?

I could go on...

Such are the joys of a collaborative entry, Pandapig. We didn't get any useable material on Woody Allen, and only enough on Hancock for that paragraph. Disagree with you on Ken Dodd though. I used to loathe him until I reluctantly saw one of his live shows and he completely won me over.

Cheeky question - do you fancy writing a separate entry on Mr Hancock? smiley - biggrin

Don't really know enough about the biography of the late great TH to be honest, and though I wouild love to do the research and write an article I am already in serious danger of Job Termination due to spending too much time on the Net! smiley - biggrin So the definitive Tony Hancock article may have to wait for another day smiley - sadface

Ouch! Well, hope the job situation doesn't get too scary, Pandapig - you'll just have to ration yourself smiley - smiley

Thanks for the comments though, and maybe one day we'll see Tony Hancock in the Guide smiley - cheers
