Sadly? Surely not?

 

That said, he had some great Man City gags to be fair...

Ronnie Corbett giving up his TV career due to 'health issues'.

 

Flogged him Sky+ about 10 years ago :D

 

When he did the ads with Alice Cooper for Sky, they only comped him one freebie, and he had more than one house.

 

A very serious man offscreen it seems..

Ray Cooney (b.1932) is back on stage in his own revival of Two into One in the West End.

 

He hasn't been picked by any DDP teams which is probably a good call.
