Comedian Ronnie Barker has died

TV comedian Ronnie Barker has died at his home after a long illness, aged 76.


Ronnie Barker retired in 1987
The actor had starred in a series of comedies including the Two Ronnies, Porridge and Open All Hours.

He died yesterday, with his wife at his side, having suffered from a heart problem.

Best known for his role alongside the diminutive Ronnie Corbett in the TV hit The Two Ronnies, he was one of the most versatile and successful comic actors of his generation.

He also carved himself a role as the smart-alec prisoner Fletcher in the prison series Porridge, and as the lugubrious, stuttering shopkeeper Arkwright in Open All Hours.

He became renowned for his Spoonerisms. In Open All Hours, he said: "Don't just crit their siticising".

He retired at the age of 57 in 1987, to run his antique shop in the Cotswolds, before coming back recently for a run of The Two Ronnies.

Barker, who wrote many of the scripts for The Two Ronnies, got his TV break came when he was chosen for the supporting cast of The Frost Report with John Cleese in 1966.
