Oh dear, it seems that all of the household names that we grew up with are fading away.  :'(

I know it was a while ago we lost Ronnie B, but still, always felt Ronnie C would always be with us  :(

Only ever saw him on "Would I lie to you?" - seemed terrifically self deprecating. RIP.

The brilliance of Mr Barker meant The Two Ronnies was a popular programme on Friday Night when I was a kid, whilst eating our fish and chips.  I think Mr Corbett was lucky to have been able to team up with Mr Barker, and they worked well together.

I used to particularly enjoy the "mini series" in each series, such as The Worm that Turned and the Great Raspberry Blower.  Even now when I see Two Ronnies repeats, it still raises a chuckle...  ...without resorting to foul language, just fantastic comedy and spot on timing.


RIP Mr C, you were a part of my childhood.
