RIP Ronnie Barker

[Sypher]

I was shocked and sadened to hear that Ronnie Barker has died today at the age of only 76, far too young.
I thought the least that i could do was post here and pay tribute to such a comedy genius and wordsmith.
I understand that he was battleing through illnesses and such in his later years, and my thoughts go out to his family and friends. I guess he will be most remembered for being one of the two Ronnie's, I still cant believe that he's gone.

Rest In Peace Ronnie

Truly sad, the world of comedy is an emptier place without him ; Thanks for all the laughs, Gerald Wiley

Four Candles anyone?

 

[Behmoth]

one of the superstars of mirth. his sense of humour was 2nd to none. up there with eric morecombe,spike milligan,tommy cooper and a few others as some of the geniuses of comedy.

he will be missed by many :worthy: :worthy: :worthy:




"fork handles please" (four candles) was one of his best sketches

aye R.I.P Mr Barker,

loved his shows, open all hours, porridge, the 2 ronnies shame that that sort of comedy has pretty much died out now.

Class act and great actor. Just hope they rerun some of his shows as I can never get enough of porridge and open all hours. Sometimes I wish more people would quit whilst at the top, but I really wish he'd kept working as he really was fantastic.
