I see so is Les Dennis just a hybrid version of both?

Sadly, or perhaps mercifully, the Louisville Lip has done an Ali Shuffle off this mortal coil.

Read it in the middle of the night when for some reason it had returned to the BBC front page for some reason . Had a bad night - couldn't sleep and stuffed with painkillers - that's my excuse and I'm sticking to it!

Tonight (or this morning) it's Gene Wilder the BBC are reporting dead on their News home page. Link takes you to HERE, where at least if you notice it, you will see that he died in 2016 ... or did he?
Tapentadol and Gabapentin just don't cut the mustard any more.
