- The English comedian, singer, and actor Ken Dodd appeared on Nationwide in 1976, welcoming Michael Barratt to his native Liverpool - "the greatest city in the world" - showing him the sights and teaching him a bit of Liverpudlian into the bargain.
Starting onboard the Mersey ferry, Ken holds court on all things from the liver bird to the cathedrals at either end of Hope Street, with the Duke of Wellington, rotating restaurants and a picturesque promenade in between, not to mention a visit to Knotty Ash.
Clip taken from Nationwide, originally broadcast on BBC One, Thursday 25 March 1976.

Happy birthday Doddy. He was obviously very proud of his city and lived and died in Knotty Ash.
@@JamesRichards-mj9kwGood what have the left done? dumped millions of unwanted 3rd world immigrants all over poor working class communities, there traitors to Liverpool 100%.
Doddy was a comic genius. I have been to his live shows many times. You never knew what time you would get home! His jokes came thick and fast, you hadn't finished laughing at one joke when he fired another and another... RIP Doddy.
A very intelligent man mr Dodd and passionate as well as funny on his love of liverpool.
I was born in Broadgreen hospital and lived in Knotty Ash, but my parents emigrated to New Zealand when I was three so Liverpool is somewhere that exists only in my dreams sadly, never been back since and that was in 74 that we left, half a century has gone by since then, I sometimes wonder at the sort of life I might have had if we'd stayed.
My mum wrote to him on my behalf back in 1971 as i loved the diddy men, he wrote back with some diddy men memrobilia too
there was a printers at the bottom of our road on County Road in Walton, and we would often see Ken going in there to get his flyers or his programmes as they were printed there, and every time i used to say to me da, "weve just seen Ken Dodd" my dad would say "did he have his grey suit on" ?.......everytime we seen him he did always have that same suit on...
Worked with Doddy 4 times...great memories of him and Anne.
God bless Ken
Did you know Ken Dodd hit “Tears” outside everything in the charts in the 60’s except for the Beatles
And I think only The Beatles and Rolling Stones were the only bands to outsell him during the entire decade
Liverpool has given birth to may famous sons, Most grew up, became famous and left. This man remained in the city and always spoke proudly of the place of his birth. A good man and a good comedian.
I loved his fast delivery of jokes, like a canon firing out jokes at you at a fast pace.

Wonderful❤
Him telling the jury during his tax case that he buried money under the floorboards "in case there is another war" and getting off with it is the funniest thing ever😂😂Even the judge was laughing.
Hope street is now unrecognisable compared to then. The nearby Georgian streets were saved from demolition but i wonder how many of the properties in this film on hope Street really had to go.
Hope street is basically the same. What do you mean? The only new buildings are the hope street hotel, and the new Everyman building.
sir ken Dodd xx ❤....

If you ever feel depressed or suicidal, watch Ken Dodd. Cheers me up on a down day!
People of a certain age will have grown up with stories of Ken Dodd going door to door selling household cleaning products. Including feather dusters.
Ken Dodd the man with the best tax lawyer in the UK
haha Doddy got his year wrong there....Wellington in 1600 and something...well at Waterloo he must have been a grand old man indeed. lol I loved visiting the city of Liverpool in the 70s when I would follow my team Forest to watch Liverpool. Liverpool have been my second team ever since 😀
It's Bobby Chariot's elder brother.
😃👍
Ken Dodd's a demigod!
Stashing cash in Knotty Ash!
Pay your taxes then Ken
THERES A LEDGAND IN LIVERPOOL THAT THE LIVER BIRD FACING THE SEA IS WATCHING FOR THE SAILORS COME TO PORT AND THE OTHER LOOKING IN LAND TO SEE WHEN THE PUBS ARE OPEN AND IF THE LIVER BIRDS FLY AWAY LIVERPOOL WOULD CEASE TO EXIST
Unfunny Tory.
Well if Labour cared about the working class maybe I would agree, they don't and neither do the Tories both traitors to the working class, Labour abandoned us first under that creep Blair.
Funniest man who ever lived
