      Although he wasn’t on tv regularly, according to Jim Davidson in his eulogy speech at Jethro’s funeral (on TH-cam), Jethro’s dvds sold more than anyone else’s. Must have sold in the millions. Great comedian.

Jethro came into the bar before the show and went round and spoke to as many people as he could, which luckily included my wife and I. It was like talking to someone you have known for years. We both came out of the show with aching sides through laughing so much. RIP Jethro.
