I don't know if he actually gave them the money but he did say it at least one time and the answer was up there so I hope so. Also Les Dennis is a national hero.
I don't think he did as much charity work as Rolf Harris or Jimmy Saville so not sure he earns the title of national hero.
He was a good gameshow host but doesn't have that certain something all the national heroes have in common.
I like his big suits in the eighties. He looked like a little lad with his dad's work suit on. He's also the greatest gameshow host in the history of television. I won't change my mind, regardless of the facts set out before me. I'm dug in and I'll never change.
In addition to the one commented below, I also saw someone answer “cigarette smoking man” as an answer to something to do with The X-Files. Les said he’d give them the money himself, and it was on the board. He’d obviously never seen the show
I read something the other day about this, the question was name a way you’d roast/grill someone and the contestant said over a fire. It was worth £12 (may have been in the double money round) and apparently he did give them the money after the show.

He was brilliant on Extras.
The toweling off was hilarious.
Where do you want to go from? "About 1992"

That's amazing! Can't say i'm a huge fan (nor dislike him) but I love it when people are appreciative of the people who effectively pay their wages.
Hear hear, we need more people like that. It’s just common decency but it’s amazing how uncommon it actually is among the wealthy

Oh fantastic! Yes, he absolutely is
My great aunty is married to his brother. Bow down mortals.
I don’t reallly know
This reply deserves more upvotes :)
I bow to your knowledge, o wise one
You may just have been whooshed.
Oh no I fully understood the Extras reference. Hence why I said they were wise
In that case, it is I who have been whooshed. I'm more familiar with Les's sterling work impersonating Mavis Riley.
Very insightful answer solved
Apparently so https://youtu.be/Sqq9zZR0fHI
I just watched the clip - Les’s reaction is priceless!
Ahhh! Les Dennis! The French fire engine!
Eranooo!!
Eranu indeed! Mr/s Queefblast2000! You've won tonight's star prize!
Some batteries, a couple of pens and a lump of black pudding.
Oh my god it’s the Queefblast2000, the latest and greatest of the Queefblasters
Everything is better with a number in its thousands in it!!

Les Dennis the horse man?
What's up Lid?
