It was the way he told them. RIP, Frank Carson...

With him it really was a case of the singer, not the song. The jokes weren't original but he had a style that made you laugh. RIP.

Ahhh. I haven't seen the news tonight. He certainly made me laugh. Nice man - and sad news.

I loved The Comedians.................proper old-fashioned comics.

We always remembered his catchphrase - it got churned out every Christmas at the dinner table "Its a cracker!" - he was a good comedian, better than most of these "alternative" ones!

Yeh, you're right sandy. I think it was the same with Tommy Cooper.

[WF8MAN]

You'll probably like all of these comedians, I do. Tommy Cooper, Ken Dodd, Frank Carson. Weren't they all great in their own way, craft1948?

I join you here, RIP Frank. He bought laughter to many.
