Geoff:
Just noticed this one... What, what, what - never heard of Ronnie 
Barker? Ask any person from the UK and they'll tell you he was one 
of the funniest guys ever. His long, long TV series with Ronnie 
Corbett ("The two Ronnies")  is still frequently repeated - the "Fork 
'Andles" has become one of the top rated sketches ever and he also 
played a long-term prisoner in the comedy series "Porridge".
