"I know my place"

I guess it dates me, but even though young at the time, I loved that Cleese/Barker/Corbett sketch on The Frost Report.  Brilliant.

One of the greats of tv comedy. his appearance in a spoof of
Mastermind was brilliant, also great in Fork handles and
The phantom raspberry blower of old London town.
Sad news.

Always under-rated in comparison with Ronnie Barker (much like Ernie Wise was with Eric Morecambe) but a great entertainer all the same.
There's some damned good music and sketch shows going on somewhere :angel:

This year is certainly starting to claim some of the greats! What a depressing start.  :(


RIP Ronnie, many thanks for the many chuckles!

I heard of this yesterday driving back from a job in the van (I always have R4 on) and wasd genuinely saddened.  So glad someone mentioned Burke and Hare as he was perfect in it.  One would hope a 21 pistol salute from the Edinburgh Malitia!
