Country:  | It is extremely tragic. He was a remarkable man and a great comic actor. He'll be greatly missed by millions for sure, I for one will be included in that number.
A good night from me, and a good night from him.

Country: | The Two Ronnies was a popular show on this side of the pond as well. My dad and I used to watch it together all the time when I was a kid. Another talented and funny man gone. | |

Country: | The show "The Two Ronnies" was an excellent stekch show. Ronnie Barker was a remarkable comic actor and his diversity was amazing. But let's not forget the hilarious "Porridge" and "Open All Hours" - not to mention his other great comedy shows. I've been down the street where "Open All Hours" was filmed.

Sad days | I'd heard about Don Adams too, on the radio. Shame. No more agent 86 or Inspector Gadget. | |
