How ticked Maria Lovelady & Michael Alan-Bailey are to talk about one of the most world renowned names in variety history Sir Ken Dodd from the woman who knew him best, his wife Lady Anne Dodd. But Lady Anne wasn’t just Sir Ken’s wife, a performer in her own right she was also his co-star, tour manager, stage manager, driver, wardrobe mistress, props mistress and now the proud ambassador of Sir Ken’s comedy legacy. Documented and detailed in a brand new, self produced documentary film ‘The Real Ken Dodd: The Man I Loved’ Lady Anne talks about the inception of the film and plans for a ‘Giggle Tour’ around select UK theatres.We discuss many tattyfalarious topics from Sir Ken’s dabble in Shakespeare to his backstage rituals and the passion that fuelled his crusade to save many UK theatres that seemed destined for closure. We also talk about Lady Anne’s start in show business, some wild and spooky backstage encounters to her vocation, mission and future plans to continue the legacy of a world renowned genius.
