RONNIE BARKER: 1929-2005
At the age of 38 Ronnie Barker was
given his own show, The Ronnie Barker
Playhouse. He wrote under the false
name of Gerald Wiley, receiving regular
BBC payments as a contributor.
He was a master of extremely difficult
sketches full of word play, different
accents and complexity.
Eventually Barker admitted he was Wiley
over dinner with friends and colleagues
at a Chinese restaurant. Some of them
refused to believe him.
