I know there's an RIP thread, but I think he deserves his own. An absolute comic genius.

Open All Hours, Porridge, and the Two Ronnies. All brilliant.

The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town was my favorite sketch as a kid. I find the Two Ronnies pretty cheesy now but they've always had a special place in my heart from when I was a kid watching them on a Saturday night. I find it sad he's gone now.

Porridge is a bit of a comedy classic isn't it really, it's one of those that you wouldn't switch off if it was on.
I remember the four candles sketch coming top of a poll somewhere, simple genius. |

heres a couple you might wanna check out haywood
porridge (set in prison, very funny)
open all hours (in corner shop, also very funny and with david jason of only fools and horses fame)
The two ronnies (with ronnie corbet, famous for the four candels and mastermind sketch i think, also good)
was also in the frost report where he did the 'i know my place sketch' i think
another comic actor i associated with being a kid, although i think he was old even then, seemed like a good guy |

What was he in? Not familiar to me even though I like British humor quite a bit. |

Sadly when I heard of his death I wondered if there'd be a thread on here related to his greatness. Im glad to also acknowledge that I too am a fan of his, growing up would never have been the same. Good luck Ronnie. |

I feel your pain PixieSteve.
Here's the "Four Candles" sketch to download. It's about 15MB. I think it was voted the UK's favourite sketch onceuponawhileago.

Yeah, what a great bloke... one of Britains best ever comics without a shadow of a doubt.
This is a high class bureau de change, not some Punch & Judy show on the seafront at Margate! |
