English comedian and TV presenter, remembered for shows like Blankety Blank and Sez Les. In his autobiography - A clown too many - he mentioned his height: "I drew myself up to my five foot six and a half inches of quivering indignation."

Dawson's old fashioned style of humour wouldn't be allowed now. Of course there were only three channels when he was on TV.
Don't talk rubish, they are allways showing he's old shows on TV, as John Cleese said he was the funniest man he worked with,

He was funny!! His daugther by his last wife is a glamour model and fairly tall so would say maybe his wife was taller than him

He was actually 5'4". He was never even remotely funny though.
I thought he was.

Yeah, Les is a great example of a guy who could give a big impression by being very short by his girth, big heart and larger than life persona. I bet a lot of people would remember him as a big man!!

I loved Les,I allways had him 5'7'' but never knew for sure,
Arch Stanton said on 3/Oct/14
Nice one. Good old Les, one of Britain's beloved late national treasures. I knew he was short but was surprised this short.

to be fair I didn't even remember him being around that range until looking at some clips of him, it is maybe a good case of a guy with a big personality and humorous outtake on life being able to make people forget about things like height.
