Deathray 2,941 Posted March 31, 2016 2016 claims another victim. Sad news, a true great of television and comedy. He'll be remembered fondly. Heavens about to get the best variety show in history as the Two Ronnies unite at last. Honestly thought he'd make 100. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Mad Hatter 1,092 Posted March 31, 2016 A true great of TV. I have to thank you guys if it wasn't for you all I'd probably have no idea about the two Ronnies such a Shame. At least they're two Ronnie's in heaven. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The Happy Reaper 223 Posted March 31, 2016 I remember his guest role in Extras, when he was caught snorting cocaine in the toilets at the BAFTAs - and then shopped Moira Stewart as his supplier! He was a fellow Edinburger Edinbronian Edincunian native of Scotland's capital. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
The Happy Reaper 223 Posted March 31, 2016 Brucie has outlived many friends over the years but this one will really hurt......... He's said it's one of the saddest days of his life - and let's face it, he has a hell of a lot to choose from. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Fergie86 376 Posted March 31, 2016 Sad news he was a legend, brilliant in Sorry and the 2 Ronnie's always preferred Ronnie Barker out of the two as he was in a different league. 1 Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Guest Guest Posted March 31, 2016 its sad that his last public appearance was the day of Rolf Harris's conv iction .He seemed to be genuinely heartbroken and let down by an old friend. Spookily the other celeb who commented on it that day was Cilla Black. http://www.itv.com/news/update/2014-06-30/cilla-black-always-thought-rolf-harris-was-lovely/ Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lard Bazaar 3,800 Posted March 31, 2016 As someone above said, Brucie is gutted about this one, heard him on the news and both the old man and his dad (who both have no interest in my death activities) said how he sounded like he was on his last legs.
