According to film critic Barry Norman, it was the ability to make women laugh that made him so attractive.Music has been Moore's saviour, professionally and psychologically. He has made good money as a concert jazz pianist and his recordings have sold well. He says he retreats to one of his three pianos when times get tough. It seems a fitting irony that the brilliant Oxford organ scholar who abandoned music for the stage and screen seeks refuge in Tinseltown in Grieg and Mozart, his favourite composers. There is a big pug community and we always attend pug parties and go to pug cafes, things like that. They later famously performed a series of foulmouthed but legendary sketches as the characters Derek and Clive. Mead has been a Croydon councillor since 1980. So together with his wife, Margaret, who is also a senior councillor, Mead has been collecting expenses incurred in the course of his “civic service” for five decades now. Just down the road from Beverly Hills are the beaches of Santa Monica, where the sun always seems to shine. The beach promenades are full of people on rollerblades. All of them are tall and nobody adorns their well-toned muscles with much in the way of clothes. Everywhere you turn there are examples of physical perfection. It's not much like Dagenham, where Dudley Moore was born. It's a place that could turn an Essex boy's head, especially when that head is always turned upwards, craning for approval.

Moore was an all-round entertainer, Mr Norman said, but the actor and comedian was probably disappointed later in life that he had not quite matched his potential. It was for these roles that Moore would be best remembered around the world, film director Michael Winner said. In Britain, however, it would be the celebrated partnership with Peter Cook and his outstanding piano playing which would stand out most in people's minds, he added. Jez is the author and illustrator of 48 books for children. In 2018 he published The Story of 'You' his first book for adults, the first in a series called Life Beyond Personality. He says: "We enter this world as pure Oneness, (what I call our ‘original state of Being’) but we lose this as we become identified with our Personality. In that identification, the Stillness and Love of our Original State is overshadowed by the suffering of the Personality.

Chat show host Michael Parkinson, who interviewed Moore on a number of occasions, said:"He was the most charming of men and delightful company, a superb musician, a bloody good comedian and a lovely man.One week later Moore had proposed to the same Nicole Rothschild, a woman able to claim eight more inches than her husband and 30 fewer years. They divorced last week due to "irreconcilable differences". Nobody seems surprised by the split - except Dudley, who said just six months ago that he "couldn't imagine life without Nicole," even though he kept two houses so that he could have solitude when necessary. Maybe it's time for Dudley Moore to come home, before his reputation develops as Hollywood's smallest has-been. Los Angeles has swallowed him whole - he should leave before it finally spits him out. His Eddy and the Bear trilogy (which began with the much-loved Where's My Teddy in 1992) has sold nearly four and a half million copies and was made into an BAFTA award-winning animated television series.

I actually forgot that I'd sent it in, so it was a surprise when I got a message telling me that Dudley had made the top 10! The diminutive Moore, often known as a "sex thimble", became an unlikely hearthrob at the height of his international fame.

Propelled from weedy, five-foot-two railwayman's son from Dagenham through a history-making partnership with Peter Cook, four marriages that ended in divorce and into an unlikely role as a feted Hollywood celebrity, Moore was characteristically stoical about his condition, and even managed to inject a little humour into his situation at times. There's always this feeling of why did it hit me? I cannot make peace with it because I know I am going to die from it.
