Danny La Rue has sashayed off this mortal coil.
His jokes were often on the edge, but never smutty. 'I went to the Palace,' he would declare, 'and the Queen said: "Kneel." I said: "If I'd known it was that sort of party, I would have come earlier!"
Gotta say: if that's not smutty, then I'm Dick Emery. If Sam Newman had said that on the Footy Show, or groped a mannequin of the queen (a mannequeen), there would have been the odd sternly worded letter to an editor.
It's the way you tell 'em.
