Loss of a great man

I don't usually do post's like this but I've just heard about the passing of Ronnie Barker from the BBC website.

I grew up watching him on saturday night tv. I think that 'Open all Hours' has to have been possibly the funniest sitcom ever written, although if I'd seen 'Porridge' first then it may be a different story (I was a little to young when it first showed so only really caught it again on the repeats).

A great comic writer, a wonderful actor and a very funny man.
