Default Ronnie Barker - RIP

Terrible news.

Apparently Ronnie Barker passed away last night - huge loss.

Possibly the greatest comedy actor/writer of all time.

Ronnie Barker: Your tributes

British comedy legend Ronnie Barker has died at his home after a long illness.
The veteran comedian was 76.

Barker was best known for his partnership with Ronnie Corbett in The Two Ronnies, and his role in the sitcom Porridge.

In 2004 he was honoured by the British Film and Television industry in Ronnie Barker: A BAFTA Tribute.

Another sad loss to the comedy citcuit.

I used to love The Two Ronnies, had me in proper stitches every friday night when it was on. Open All Hours was hilarious too, as was Porridge, still catch the re-runs on UK Gold
