Dawson's old fashioned style of humour wouldn't be allowed now. Of course there were only three channels when he was on TV.

Don't talk rubish, they are allways showing he's old shows on TV, as John Cleese said he was the funniest man he worked with,

He was funny!! His daugther by his last wife is a glamour model and fairly tall so would say maybe his wife was taller than him

Yeah, Les is a great example of a guy who could give a big impression by being very short by his girth, big heart and larger than life persona. I bet a lot of people would remember him as a big man!!

Nice one. Good old Les, one of Britain's beloved late national treasures. I knew he was short but was surprised this short.

to be fair I didn't even remember him being around that range until looking at some clips of him, it is maybe a good case of a guy with a big personality and humorous outtake on life being able to make people forget about things like height.
