Ronnie Barker Dies.
It was announced today that Ronnie Baeker or Two Ronnies Fame ane Porridge, has died peacfully at his home after sufferring from heart trouble ror many years. This man was a pure comic genious and had brought hours and hours of good, clean comedy into our homes for many years. He will be sadly missed on our screens. I just thougt that a man of his calibre should not be allowed to pass without a mention. Our thoughts are with his family and friends.

Re: Ronnie Barker Dies.
A sad loss to his family and friends and to the entertainment industry. I loved his character Fletch in Porridge. Some of the 2 Ronnies series were brilliant. Who can forget 'the worm that turned' and 'the phantom raspberry blower of old London town.' "It's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from him."

Re: Ronnie Barker Dies.
I'm very saddened, one of the best exponents of situation comedy ever, for my money.

Re: Ronnie Barker Dies.
Oh, my goodness, that's so sad. He's one of these people that I always saw as timeless but I'm guessing he was in his mid to late seventies. A sad loss!

Re: Ronnie Barker Dies.
Is anyone else old enough to remember "The Navy Lark" on radio? Ronnie Barker played about 6 characters in it - all completely different. He was a brilliantly funny and clever man, wrote most of the Two Ronnies sketches himself, and he seemed a very nice man in private too.
