Trivia
In 1989, he was charged with tax evasion. Thanks to the work of George Carman QC who defended him, he was acquitted. For a while afterwards, he used the experience in his stage acts, introducing himself by saying "Good evening, my name is Kenneth Arthur Dodd: singer, photographic playboy and failed accountant.".
