The Squire of Knotty Ash and his Lady by Tony Nicholson
This book, thanks to Ken's wife, Lady Dodd, gives the first ever in-depth account of his astonishing story, and unravels 'the other Ken Dodd' - the fascinating, kind and complicated private man with whom she spent her life
Tony Nicholson started his showbiz career in the 1970s as a comedy scriptwriter, writing jokes for no less than The Two Ronnies. He then became a television producer, making entertainment programmes for all the major channels, and earning him a highly-prized BAFTA Award.
The two professions sat comfortably side by side throughout his working life - both writer and producer.
Tony has been a lifelong Ken Dodd fan. He has written this affectionate and candid biography with Lady Dodd, not just as a
showbusiness insider, who worked with Ken in the 1980s, but also as a genuine fan of Ken's work.
Tony Nicholson is the author of Shut That Door! - the definitive biography of comedian Larry Grayson.
He has been married for over forty years and
has two grownup sons. Originally from Yorkshire he now lives by the sea on the south coast of England.
