Ken Dodd exhibition at Liverpool Museum

A new exhibition capturing one of Britain's best loved comedians in some of his most candid moments, is ready to open in Liverpool.

The Museum of Liverpool will host "By Jove! It's Ken Dodd!", featuring photographs by renowned snapper Stephen Shakeshaft.

Ken Dodd said of the exhibition: "One of the greatest pleasures in my life is seeing photographs of Liverpool's skyline, and I'm highly honoured to be part of an exhibition in a fantastic museum, on this beautiful waterfront.

"Stephen Shakeshaft is one of my favourite people, and the only photographer I allow to photograph me candidly. He's a fantastic photographer, who takes a real interest in his subjects. Stephen doesn't just take a photograph, he produces a situation. Every one of his pictures tells a story."
