Ronald William George "Ronnie" Barker, OBE (25 September 1929 – 3 October 2005) was an English actor, comedian and writer. He was known for roles in British comedy television series such as Porridge, The Two Ronnies and Open All Hours.
Barker began acting in repertory theatre and decided he was best suited to comic roles. He had his first success at the Oxford Playhouse and in roles in the West End including Tom Stoppard's The Real Inspector Hound. During this period, he was in the cast of BBC radio and television comedies such as The Navy Lark. He got his television break with the satirical sketch series The Frost Report in 1966, where he met future collaborator, Ronnie Corbett. He joined David Frost's production company and starred in ITV shows including a short film.
After rejoining the BBC, Barker found fame with the sketch show The Two Ronnies (1971–1987), with Ronnie Corbett. He starred in the sitcoms Porridge, its sequel Going Straight and Open All Hours. He wrote comedy under his own name and the pseudonym Gerald Wiley, which Barker adopted to avoid pre-judgements of his talent. He won a BAFTA for best light entertainment performance four times, among other awards, and received an OBE in 1978.

Watch our video where David Jason, one of Britain’s best loved actors, discusses what to expect from his long awaited autobiography Sir David Jason, the son of a Billingsgate market porter at the height of the Second World War, was born in 1940 in North London. David Jason spent his early life dodging bombs and bullies, both with impish good timing. Giving up on an unloved career as an electrician, he turned his attention to acting and soon, through a natural talent for making people laugh, found himself working with the leading lights of British comedy in the 1960s and '70s: Eric Idle, Michael Palin, Bob Monkhouse and Ronnie Barker. Barker would become a mentor to David, leading to hugely successful stints in Porridge and Open All Hours. It wasn’t until 1981, kitted out with a sheepski...

Available on DVD through www.umbrellaent.com.au Scottish comedian and sketch superstar Ronnie Corbett has been making people laugh for over fifty years - establishing a formidable reputation alongside fellow funny man Ronnie Barker, as one half of the world famous duo The Two Ronnies.

Great monologue from Ronnie Barker. Watch for the song at the end.
From 04/10/2005. Sky News go from the news of Ronnie Barker's death to a grinning Jack Straw. If you listen carefully you can hear someone speaking through the presenters earpieces. Colin Brazier introduces Jack Straw, obviously expecting a press conferecence or something but what he got was a very happy Jack Straw waiting to do a live interview. If you had to do a live interview with Jack Straw with no notice, could you think of a better question than "What do you have to tell us this morning?"
