Bob Monkhouse

Comedian Bob Monkhouse has died, aged 75.

He discovered that he was suffering from prostate cancer two and a half years ago and finally lost his battle with his illness last night, when he died peacefully in his sleep.

As always, he made a joke of his troubles: "I saw a specialist who asked me 'Are you familiar with the phrase faecal impaction?' I said I think I saw that one with Glenn Close and Michael Douglas," he said at the time.
