Peter Cook and Dudley Moore were friends and the last people I expected would predecease me. They were, in a sense, casualties of fame.

When people laugh at me, they are not laughing in the way that they normally would at a comedian. They are laughing with relief, because the truth has been spoken, and political correctness has not strangled this particular gigastar.

People only watch my shows for me, and those shows have remained evergreen long after the guests are forgotten.

I have charity work that I do. I started my own charity, the Friends of the Prostate, and I'm also working on awareness of the deviated septum. I do this because not many people are interested in it. There's also Save the Funnel-web - they're dying out.

A lot of people, for reasons I can't understand, are puzzled to learn I drive. In fact I have been driven since I was 18 and have never had an accident or been clamped.

Australia is an outdoor country. People only go inside to use the toilet. And that's only a recent development.
