Richard Webber : Remembering Ronnie Barker before purchasing it in order to gage whether or not it would be worth my time, and all praised Remembering Ronnie Barker:

0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. And it's goodbye from him...By CustomerRemembering Ronnie Barker is quite obviously written by a fan in Richard Webber. I have read other works by him and he is very respectful of his subject but I feel he needs to edit just a little. Detail is great but to much is actually a bit boring. However, I guess when it is someone so loved and respected with barely a bad word spoken of him, you probably do not have much of a choice. Not a hard read, in fact quite enjoyable but very little not already known in it.0 of 0 people found the following review helpful. Only okayBy Jack GatesThis book was disappointing in that it was more a catalogue of what Ronnie had done than a book about him. Too much time was spent on his early years in show business and I got bored at the halfway point. I finished the book by skimming over a lot of pages. If I had known what it was like I would not have bothered buying it.

Ronnie Barker was one of our most respected and best-loved comedy actors and here, in this fascinating biography, Richard Webber delves deep in to the heart of Barker's life and career, peppering his narrative with original and incisive memories from some of Barker's closest contemporaries, including , and . Star of the much-adored comedy classics Porridge, - one of the most successful and long- running television comedy shows ever on British television - and , Ronnie Barker was universally admired by the public and industry insiders alike. From his early days writing for and performing skits on right up to his retirement in 1988, he lit up television screens across the country with his wonderful gift for comedy and his remarkable skill for character acting. Beyond his performances on the stage and screen, Barker was also an accomplished comedy writer, providing many of the sketches and songs for The Two Ronnies and contributing material to a number of other television and radio shows. And despite his retirement he retained pole position in the public's affection, returning to the screen in 1999 to team up with his erstwhile comedy partner and great friend Ronnie Corbett for a Two Ronnies night on BBC1, followed by a BAFTA tribute in 2004 and a final appearance on television in 2005 on The Two Ronnies Christmas Sketchbook. Effortlessly funny, universally adored and an actor and writer responsible for some of Britain's best-loved and most-respected comedy, Ronnie Barker was a true comedy legend. Here he's brought to the page in winning style as he's remembered by those who best loved and knew him.

"Breezy and affectionate ... a tender a gently humerous memoir of a man who, by his death in 2005, could truly claim to have acquired the status of national treasure." Daily Mail "Great comic memories" Choice "A fitting tribute to one of our national treasures" The Sun "This is a meticulously researched portrait of the much-loved comedy actor ... an interesting and informative review of a glittering career" Press Association "An excellent effort to get under the skin of one of Britain's legendary comedy actors" Sunday ExpressAbout the AuthorRichard Webber
