00:00 I always thought as a kid there was something very anarchic about Ken Dodd.
00:03 Ladies and gentlemen, please welcome Ken Dodd!
00:07 Ken's impact on the entertainment business was unparalleled.
00:11 I actually think that he was the first kind of modern coming.
00:14 Doddy was the palette of the entertainment business.
00:18 You always give value for money, a little bit too much.
00:21 I am Kenneth Arthur Dodd, artist, model and failed accountant.
00:25 Behind the decades of radio and TV appearances, there was so much more than met the eye.
00:31 Ken was extraordinarily knowledgeable and very well read about comedy.
00:35 If he put his genius into maths or classical music,
00:39 he would be more easily recognised as extremely intelligent.
00:42 He had infinite jazz and excellent fancy.
00:46 I always say behind every successful man is an exhausted woman.
00:51 I made it.
00:52 You made this?
00:53 Years ago. The dog had a go at it a couple of times.
00:56 When he passed away, she had to come to the forefront.
01:04 It's my life. It's my life. He was my life when he was alive. He's my life now.
01:09 I think she's done an incredible job.
01:11 In the coming three years, Anne's heading out on a new Doddy adventure.
01:17 She'll be supporting the Museum of Liverpool's plan for a Ken Dodd happiness exhibition.
01:23 As well as tackling some of Ken's most ambitious ideas head on.
01:28 And if we can make it one of the most iconic buildings in Liverpool, even better.
01:31 He actually wanted me to destroy all his networks.
01:35 I did promise. I had to do this because I hadn't.
01:37 I'm just going to start looking through them now.
01:40 All Ken's success led to many friends and fans.
01:43 So Anne's off to visit a few of them, including me.
01:47 How did he describe me to you?
01:49 You just have to keep control of her.
01:52 Where does a man get his energy?
01:53 The question that everyone wants to know.
01:55 What was it like in bed? I'm joking.
01:57 For me, he was the ultimate human being.
02:04 Everything he did, he did to make people happy.
02:07 When I think of him, my heart lifts and I just smile.
02:13 Was he happy?
02:14 That's a deep question.
