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 hadn't realised that he wrote so much material himself. "I look up to him ...." ;-)

I hadn't realized that he wrote so much until very recently.

"G Wilder (I think it was) and A Gentleman" was him on The Two Ronnies. He felt embarrassed about having his name in the credits as a writer.
