BARKER WAS PURE GOLD - CORBETT
Ronnie Corbett has led tributes to his
partner in comedy Ronnie Barker.
Corbett said: "Ronnie was pure gold in
triplicate - as a performer, a writer
and a friend.
"We worked together since 1965 and we
never had a cross word. It was 40 years
of harmonious joy. I will miss him
terribly, but he went out on a lift.
He was delighted that The Two Ronnies
Sketchbook had gone so well, bringing
us to a new generation of audiences."
