Bob was my neighbour for over 20 years - a kinder, wittier more generous man I've never met. I still miss our chats. Thanks, Bob - for all the laughs over the years.

My Dad met Bob twice, about 5 years apart, for 5 minutes at a time. The second time they met, Bob remembered my Dad's name and what he did for a living. The man had an amazing memory and was genuinely interested in people.

“People used to laugh at me when I said I wanted to be a stand up comedian. Well they’re not laughing now” — such a great joke. RIP Bob M.

RIP Bob Monkhouse (June 1, 1928 – December 29, 2003), aged 75
And
RIP Sir Michael Parkinson (March 28, 1935 – August 16, 2023), aged 88
You both will be remembered as legends.

I've never seen anyone as confident in their own talent as Bob. You could literally get him to front any old tripe and he would make it work. Safest pair of hands in the business. RIP.

The world is a poorer place without Bob , you are missed Mr Monkhouse , you were a constant on the TV during my childhood and beyond , thank you for the laughs and happy times

Don't worry Bob, we still remember you and you're still making us laugh.

What comes across more than his humour is his warmth and kindness.

Still watching in 2019.
Bob monkhouse was a genius. RIP Bob.

Bob Monkhouse was an absolute master of his craft.
I miss him hugely.

The mad was dying and he was still having a joke about it, what a legend

They don't make them like Bob anymore. Pure genius. Such a brave man. Who could ever dislike him. Much missed ♥️

Bob still makes us all laugh 15 years on from his passing. He was one of the greats and he never had to be too rude or crude.

Great comedian. Hats off to Parky also, no one does interviews like this anymore. Knew that his guests were the stars and not him.

It's only after he "went" and seeing todays comics that you realise what a genius he was.....

Lovely, lovely man! Extremely generous in his comments about other performers, personable to the last and just a true gentleman.

Michael Parkinson , one of the finest chat show hosts and Bob Monkhouse , one of the finest comedians we have ever had!

Fast, sharp, clean and a true gentleman even so ill and dying. He was a one off. RIP Bob.

I met him once. A gentleman of high intelligence.

Great bloke was Bob!! RIP X
