Working with Ronnie Barker was always a joy and were without doubt some of the best years of my career
I certainly treasure the memory and indeed the picture, which still hangs in my house in Scotland, of Ronnie Barker and I with the Choir when we came to Wales to shoot our Welsh choir section of the "Two Ronnies" programme. You are very close to my heart.
Ronnie Barker will forever be remembered as one of the great comic actors.
It is possible to have good manners and be funny at the same time. Ronnie Barker and I proved that.
Ronnie Barker was a straightforward man who had this extraordinary ability to make the nation laugh
He was so good at everything he did. You can't call Ronnie Barker a comedian. He was an actor, and a great writer.
Ronnie Barker was a man whom I thought more deserving of a knighthood than me.
I was very sad to hear of the death of Ronnie Barker, who was such a warm, friendly and encouraging presence to have when I started in television. He was also a great comic actor to learn from.
The Shield was only around for what? Two years? And we did a lot in two years. I think the fact that people even take those two years and put them up against the reputations of those other groups really says a lot about what we were able to accomplish in that short period of time.
'Monty Python' became my religion when I was 10. It led me out of the depths of darkness. I loved 'The Goodies,' too, and 'The Two Ronnies.' I watched those shows on the public television station in Chicago.
Growing up, I was always enthralled by Ronnie Barker. He made my dad howl with laughter, which always intrigued me, and he had the rare gift of being as good a performer as he was a writer.
The Nehru years were rather very peaceful years. A lot happened in those years: dams were built, five-year plans were made, Chandigarh was built in front of my eyes. Those were the years I grew up in.
When I'm stopped in the street, people want to talk about 'The Two Ronnies' and the sketches we did.
My career was dwindling down and I got to be in Golden State for two years and show I still have it.
My job scoring a horror movie is like being the barker at a carnival. A good barker can get anyone to walk into the roped-off tent. Especially with the main title, my job is to convince the audience to take the leap into the film even though their better sense is telling them, "I should put my popcorn down and get the hell outta here"!
Ronnie Moran, Joe Fagan, Bob Paisley, Roy Evans - they were hard on us young players. If you got a 'well done' off Ronnie Moran, you must have played well... They never used superlatives at Liverpool.
