aye, sad to see him go

I really liked Porridge and O-o-o-open All Hours.

RIP Mr Barker

Well... it sucks, but I never heard of him.

I know of a Bob Barker (The Price is Right), and a Clive Barker (horror writer, most notably the HellRaiser movies), but not a Ron Barker.

But RIP anyway, if he really was that good of a comedian.

wasn't my cup of tea but seemed like a decent guy in the interview clips they showed tonight: when asked how he'd like to be remembered

"i'd like to be remembered as a good comedian, i'd like people to say 'he was a funny guy, he made us laugh - here's to him'"

here's to you then ronny. the balvenie 25 is coming out just for you :P

The Two Ronnies is now just one

o_general levy · 10-05-2005, 02:11 AM

I have written a poeam especially:

So. Farewell then
Ronnie Barker.

With your
famous stuttering
character you
made us laugh

But more so
in Porridge which
according to
you was
your greatest work.

Now that
work has ended
and you don't
have to eat
Porridge
any more.

Richard Whiteley died, what more do you want?

o_robg · 10-06-2005, 08:54 AM

The standard of Richard Whiteley's jokes was perfect for the job he did. He knew that, so did the TV execs.
