R.I.P. Ronnie Barker


TV comedy actor Ronnie Barker, who starred in Porridge and The Two Ronnies, has died aged 76. One of the most loved and respected comedy performers of his generation, he was best known as one half of a double act with Ronnie Corbett.

But he also proved himself as an outstanding sitcom actor and script writer, winning four Bafta TV awards. I personally thought he was one of the best actors on British TV due to both his roles in Porridge and Open All Hours with David Jason, I think British TV will be a worse of place without his contribution. I also spent this evening working on various EuroJam and Scouting 2007 websites!
