The Real Ken Dodd: The Man I Loved
Synopsis
Produced over four years with full access from Kenâs widow Lady Dodd, the film takes an in-depth look into Doddyâs private world, exploring the many secrets of his comic talent, revealing never-before-seen home-videos, stage performances and extracts from some of the thousands of Kenâs diary notebooks which heâd asked his wife to burn after his death. Wrestling with her conscience for quite some time, Lady Dodd, finally agrees with entertainment historians, museum curators and many of Kenâs admirers like Stephen K Amos, Harry Hill, Shaparak Khorsandi, Lee Mack, Paul OâGrady, Johnny Vegas, and Sir Ian McKellen to preserve Doddyâs notebooks for posterity. These stars explore their passion and memories of Ken in this candid, insightful film which takes you backstage behind the red curtain to reveal a far more intriguing man than the public or even his wife ever realised.
