British 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.

You know when a good comedian is around. Because they dont have to swear in their act. Watch UK Gold's ratings go through the roof...[/quote]

I dont get why he should of had the lifelines. Becuase he was a legend? Didn't they two the two ronnies earlier this year? I hope they repeat it, becuase i missed a lot of it.

Don't forget the Amarillo video!

Seriously though, Porridge is one of the best sitcoms ever made and I've not watched a repeat for ages, time to look to UK Gold I think!
