Ronnie Barker's best lines

A selection of the star's finest lines, from classic shows like The Two Ronnies, Open All Hours and Porridge.

1929 - 2005.
 
A man who will always be remembered with a smile and a chuckle :)
 
I too was very sad to hear the news. Porridge and Open all Hours were staples in my younger years. Open all Hours is filmed in Doncaster where I live and although the shop is actually a hairdressers, people still flock to this day. I quite like watching old episodes as I can recognise quite a lot of places where the series was filmed.

Another great actor passes away sadly........

For the UK/NI residents check out a special BBC 1 programme tonight about 10.30pm.

Anyone watching the BBC 1 programme at the moment??? (Sorry to anyone outside the UK/NI). Some absolutely classic comedy moments - the commentators today were so right - the sort of comedy that the whole family can watch. I doubt we will ever see another Ronnie Barker again. He has a special place in our hearts in Doncaster owing to Open all Hours.
