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 love the ETA. I don't remember that one, but I remember a similar experience with their line, "A Pu, A Pu, A Pu, A Puritan am I", and trying not to laugh in front of my parents, because I probably wasn't supposed to understand it.

Ah, the Saturday evening schedule that brought families together!
