Goodnight from him

Ronnie Barker has died :-(

ETA: Surfing around, there are various links to best lines and memories, but this made me cry laughing: "Still remember my father's horrified face as Ronnie Barker and Corbett, dressed as Mandarins, sang "Over China, over China, over China - Town". I was JUST old enough to realised that this was very naughty indeed."

I think I liked him best in that. He was a brilliant comedian, and also a great character actor. I'm sorry he's gone.

Fletch was an amazing creation.

He was. I bought the Porridge DVDs a while back. It's genius.
