    They have to be the best comedy duo ever (always had Barker as the brains), i liked Morecambe and Wise but lower level except for the for ever running joke about two old men sitting in deck chairs, every week at end of show stopped because Wise said "you can't tell that one", end of last show they told it and it made me laugh and groan at the same time <laugh>

    Barker was the brains but without the Corbett straight man it wouldn't have been half as good. That sketch with the four candles - all the brains of Barker, but it's Corbett's reaction 100% that makes that sketch.

    Btw I think it was Spike Milligan who played the Phantom RB lol. I can see why.

    You are correct, it was indeed Spike a great man.

    Barker showed his acting abilities in The Gathering Storm. I think he was referred to as the best Shakespearean actor of his generation that was lost to TV comedy. But I thought Corbett was magnificent in Sorry as a pathetic mother's boy.

    We've had enough bloody Shakespearean actors! His use of the English language to write great comedy was as good as anything that baldy from Stratford could come up with <whistle>

    <doh> As a graduate of the Diane Abbott school of arithmetic, it is little surprise that you do not understand that 0.16 to 0.2 is an increase of 25 per cent – 0.04 is one quarter of 0.16. You are making that one up anyway because you are too stupid to look up actual facts.

    The ‘bullshit’ EU trade figures came from official government documentation but bullshit is something of a specialty area for you.

    I think that the word " Overall" is the clue.

    Fools was overrated IMHO. Minder ( the original) was much funnier. Arthur Daley was a great character, I knew a couple of people just like him.

    I think the word “mental” is appropriate here.

    Agree with you.

    The characters in Porridge were genius.

    Fulton McKay was wonderful.
