So Fletcher couldn't escape the final door locking and Arkwright will never again look upon Nurse Gladys Emmanuels fulsome form.   

A great loss, as he was such a nice bloke as well as being bloody funny.

Barry Cryer put him in the same bracket as Alec Guiness and Peter Sellers. I couldn't agree more. I'm sure Lenny Godber, Heslop and Mr Mackey are up there to greet him. Amnd hopefully he'll pass the medical to get into heaven. I can see St Pete asking him to piddle into the sample jar; no doubt he'll reply "What? From here?"

Thanks for all the laughs big man.

Goodnight indeed,
I still have a smile whenever I hit the M1. I can't help seeing him at the 'News Desk':
"Late news coming in, an elephant has just done a ton on the M1............
Police are advising drivers to treat it as a roundabout"
A real one off, and the recent re-runs reminded us just how good he was.
RIP Ron

It says something about Ronnie when you can be sad for loosing such a talent and overall nice guy but in the same moment he still makes you laugh as you remember his genius.

RIP Ronnie

Your right Dan. Humour in death, it's the way to go.

The Two Ronnies:
 The man who invented the zip fastener was today honoured with a lifetime peerage. He will now be known as the Lord of the Flies

Porridge:
 Doctor: I want you to fill one of those containers for me.
Fletcher (other side of the room): What, from 'ere?

Open All Hours:
 Don't just crit there siticising!

The Two Ronnies:
 The toilets at a local police station have been stolen. Police say they have nothing to go on

The Frost Report:
 I look up to him because he is upper class, but I look down on him because he is lower class

The Two Ronnies:
 The search for the man who terrorises nudist camps with a bacon slicer goes on. Inspector Lemuel Jones had a tip-off this morning, but hopes to be back on duty tomorrow

Porridge:
 (Playing Monopoly) Would you Adam and Eve it? Go to jail!

The Two Ronnies:
 Ronnie Corbett (shop assistant): There you are, four candles.
Ronnie Barker: No, fork 'andles! 'Andles for forks!

He was a giant in British comedy - and seemed such a genuine and 'ordinary' bloke when off screen. It saddened me to hear that he'd died - but like others said, made me smile to think of his fantastic talent.

And the Swedish cafe sketch was another fave of mine...F U N EX. Here's the whole thing. http://tinyurl.com/c4jxb

I did'nt remember that one, it took me a few minutes to work it out but when I did - very funny.
What can you say, it takes a very special talent to come  up with something like that

Ooh arr, I remember that one, one of the all time greats. As of course was Ronnie.

Appears he wasn't a happy bunny for the last year or so.  His son was arrested on some porno charge, and he skipped bail and has been on the run ever since.

Shame that such sadness should affect the last part of the life of such a great and funny man
