According to them, Ronny Barker has died of a heart attack. o_O Can't find -any- news items to confirm it though. Anyone else got some info?

EDIT: Found something..

http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/entertainment/tv_and_radio/4307216.stm

Feels strange when part of a double-act is gone. o_o Just the one ronnie now.

This is very sad news, Ronnie Barker is one of the greatist comedians ever, I love watching The Two Ronnies and Porridge, all my life I've loved them. He shall forever be missed.

One last thing from the site Weirdo linked.

Quote:


In an interview with the BBC looking back on his career, Barker once said: "I would like to be remembered as one of the funniest men people have seen on TV."


He always will, my Parents and Grandparents will also.

He will be missed. :(

I think the best way to pay tribute to this great man is to put down your favourite jokes.

A ship carrying red paint and a ship carrying purple paint crashed today. Both crews are said to be marooned.

Ronnie Barker made me laugh without having to resort to crude humour which is the norm nowadays. The likes of him won't come again. A pity.

Rest in peace sir. You've made us proud.

LOL!

My favourite has to be the "Fork 'andles" sketch.

"Four candles?"
"No, fork 'andles. 'Andles for forks!"

Comedy genius, right up there with the Dead Parrot and Morecambe and Wise's breakfast scene.

Not to mention the sheer joy of watching the stuttering Arkwright attempt not to be eaten by that demon till of his; and to say "G-g-g-g-genuine J-j-j-j-Jamaican G-g-g-ginger cake".

Poor Ronnie Corbett must be devestated too.
