Everything's been done before but pick just one all-time favourite who was guaranteed to make you laugh. For me it has to be......................Leonard Rossiter. Rising Damp was an all time classic.

Aye, Ronnie Barker is a legend.

Loved Bob Monkhouse too. The comedians' comedian.
"People laughed at me when I said I wanted to do comedy...Well they're not laughing now" Pure Genius.
