Ken Dodd, or more correctly Ken Do'dd, was devised primarily as a form of defense. The practice began in the hills surrounding Liverpool, where early practitioners were driven by the locals who found their buck-teeth revolting, and was perfected by Master Ken Do'dd, whose study of the Nunchuckles was legendary. He is noted for his ability to chew an apple through a letterbox. He has sold more records than any other entertainer, with his 1997 hit "Spice Up Your Life" collecting 472 platinum discs world-wide.

| - Ken Dodd, OBE is an English comedian. He played the Tollmaster in the Doctor Who serial Delta and the Bannermen. Dodd was raised in Liverpool and attended Knotty Ash School. At the age of seven, Dodd was dared to ride a bicycle with his eyes shut. In doing so, he crashed and received facial injuries that resulted in his distinctive buck teeth. This feature would later become iconic in his performances. Dodd's first big performance was at the Nottingham Empire and from then on he gradually rose to fame as he was viewed positively. In 1989, he was taken to court on charges of tax evasion. He reportedly had local school children perform in his acts and left them unpaid. He was also found to have little money in his bank, instead having £36,000 in cash. When asked by the judge "What does a hundred thousand pounds in a suitcase feel like?", he famously replied "The notes are very light, M'Lord." He was later acquitted. The trial led to his use of the line "Let me introduce myself. I'm Kenneth Arthur Dodd, artists' model and failed accountant", while performing.
