I must admit I've never heard of him, but I'm sorry to hear of his passing.

Very sad indeed. My husband spent most of the evening remembering how he used to watch Porridge and The Two Ronnies with his Dad (who has now passed away)

It's very sad. I'm surprised that anyone in the States has heard of him - did you guys get many of his shows? Porridge is still so clever, and Open All Hours as well. It's sad also that shows like this which are 25-30 years old are still the funniest things on TV. There is no-one anything like as talented as Ronnie Barker around today :distress:
