RONNIE BARKER: 1929-2005
Ronnie Barker was without doubt one of
the finest comedy talents ever to
appear on British television.
As well as performing in a series of
hugely popular BBC sitcoms he wrote
hundreds of sketches and monologues.
Chatshow king Michael Parkinson was not
exaggerating when he said Barker was
"close to genius".
Despite all his success he hated
publicity and did not enjoy being
interviewed. For him comedy was a job.
