"BILLY Connolly was yesterday criticised after joking about Ken Bigley, the British hostage, during a stand-up routine.
He was also said to have made remarks about the hostage's Thai wife.
At the Carling Apollo, Hammersmith, London on Monday night, Connolly was reported to have asked the audience: "Perhaps I shouldn't be saying this . . . aren't you the same as me, don't you wish they would just get on with it?"
He went on to joke about Mr Bigley's wife, Sombat, saying: "What is it with him and that young Asian wife?" Connolly allegedly swore after a member of the audience defended Mr Bigley, saying: "You're talking about a man's life, Billy."

A joke's a joke, but that's taking things too far.
