RONNIE BARKER: 1929-2005
By the mid-1980s Ronnie Barker's career
had appeared to peak. The Magnificent
Evans was another piece of high quality
comedy but only six episodes were made.
That was followed by Clarence, another
short-lived sitcom about a myopic
removals man. Barker wrote it and
agreed to appear mainly because it was
set near his Oxfordshire home.
In 1987 Barker announced his retirement
after 40 years of work. He was tired
and wanted to step well away from TV.
