To make Ken Dodd, become Sir Ken Dod OBE! Petition: Signature List Feed http://gopetition.com/signatures/to-make-ken-dodd-become-sir-ken-dod-obe.html Online petition signatures en-us Tue, 21 Apr 2026 07:54 UTC GoPetition RSS Feed Generator Copyright 2026 GoPetition mr allan murray [Signature #51] https://gopetition.com/signature/locate/19714408?utm_medium=rss Having seen newspaper stories about complete nobody's being knighted, and the likes of Ken Dodd, Ronnie Corbett and others being overlooked, I felt compelled to put my name to a petition.
Why do the like's of Jimmy Saville (pedophile and necrophiliac) get honoured, while people who have done so much good work get bypassed?
Put the record right, and knight Ken Dodd-it's only right!

Instead, we have failed politicians and party donors given all the honours under the sun. Criminal.

Still working and thrilling packed audiences in his eighties. A unique talent and a comedy great - an overused term but, in this case - plain fact.

There are many entertainers who have been awarded this honour who haven't been so consistently good and entertained millions of people over his 50 years in show business.

Ken Dodd was an essential part of my memories of England. I often teach my (now adult) children about Ken Dodd and the important contributions he made to happiness in my life and to all around me. How many people have such a positive impact on so many others, generation after generation?

A comedian who doesn't swear or be filthy to get a laugh, he regulary sells out theatres both large and small giving audiences at least FIVE hours of top notch comedy, almost single handed. He well deserves to be Sir Ken Dodd.
