kinuta Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 I just heard the sad news that British comedy great Ronnie Barker has died. He was very funny. Quote
rostasi Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 aaaaaaaawwww, man! I'm gonna miss ol' Arkwright. I checked the news and was surprised to hear that Ronnie Corbett (who's leading a tribute) was still alive. I thought he'd died many years ago. "Granville, fetch yer cloth!" Quote

rostasi Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 “In a packed program tonight we will be talking to an out-of-work contortionist who says he can no longer make ends meet.” Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 Very sad news. He was my favorite comedy actor. Quote
andybleaden Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 (edited) Very sad news....a really funny and very clever man Favourite bits: THAT till in the Open All Hours series His 'serious' lectures on the 2 Ronnies...I here today to talk you about : etc The silent films he used to do ...classic But the favourite was the two old chappies on the allotment chewing the fat and maybe in Porridge where he is asked by Godber Fletch?? You asleep Yes! or Of course I trust you, if there's one person I know didn't nick my pineapples it's you...besides when you were in the shower I went through all your gear.

sidewinder Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 This is sad news. He was a class act but gave lots of laughs to many. When I think of Ronnie Barker it takes me right back to the 1970s, when the 'Two Ronnies' was pretty well a national institution here in the UK and regularly topped the polls. Their song and dance routines could be hilarious. Cutting humour, right on the money but never offensive. Big for that. Quote

tonym Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 I checked the news and was surprised to hear that Ronnie Corbett (who's leading a tribute) was still alive. I thought he'd died many years ago. ← Oh yes, the injustice. Sorry news. he really was a funny guy, even made prison seem humourous. Quote
J.A.W. Posted October 4, 2005 Report Posted October 4, 2005 "Not four candles... Fork 'andles!" ← Brilliant. There'll be a tribute on BBC1 tonight, at 10.35 BST / 11.35 CEST. Quote
sidewinder Posted October 5, 2005 Report Posted October 5, 2005 Caught a bit of the tribute. They showed the 'fork handles'. His 'drag' routines (e.g. Dolly Parton) were the funniest though. Quote
