RIP, Des. One of the truly good guys in showbiz, who also spanned the generations.

A nice two-minute montage of his career - including clips with Morecambe & Wise - in this report from the BBC:

My Dad once had his car broken into in the car park of Granada TV in Manchester, when he worked there back in the 90s. They stole his car stereo, but tossed his Des O'Connor cassettes onto the back seat while ransacking his glove compartment - for some reason he was quite chuffed about that!

RIP, Des.
