So now Ronnie Corbett has passed on, is it just me or are there more celebs than normal dying this year?

(For those too young to remember him he was one half of the two Ronnie '. .....Google it)

Oh no, RIP.

It's goodbye from him, so.

And it's goodnight from him......

The 2 Ronnies, have to be up there as the best comedy duo since Laurel and Hardy.

Looked great for an 85 year old. Had a great career in comedy.

Entertainers/important folk are dropping like flies this year.

He came across as the kind of fella that would have you creased over laughing if you met him in the pub. A natural funny man.

And he would've been in fits as well.

With the likes of Facebook twitter etc it just seems that way because its more visible, however also if you think about it it makes sense that more would be dying anyway as celebrities are becoming more and more numerous so it makes sense that more will die as a result

Homework for everyone today should be to watch the four candles sketch.

R.I.P. Ronnie

RIP.

I wasn't a huge fan of his (or the Two Ronnies in general) but that was a great sketch. And I could easily see how others would love his work, even though it wasn't my cup of tea.

maudgonner · 31-03-2016 12:20PM

He knew his place.

Loved the mastermind sketch too.

murpho999 · 31-03-2016 12:23PM

Sad to see him go.

Love these 2 clips

I loved his cameo in 'Extras' as well.

I never knew he was Scottish until today either.

I loved watching the Two Ronnies growing up. RIP.

A world with him in it just feels like it would be that bit happier.

A true genius.

When you say 'four candles', do you mean 'four candles' or 'fork handles'?

That Mastermind sketch is only fantastic.

The fall off the treadmill in Peter Kay's video, while unintentional was also hilarious.

RIP

remember his armchair monologues ....

Me to, a typical joke from Ronnie C.

"After a series of crimes in the Glasgow area, Chief Inspector McTavish has announced that he is looking for a man with one eye. If he doesn't find him, he's going to use both eyes."

He insisted they left it in the final cut because he knew it looked really funny.

It was hard to fathom that he was in his eighties; he never seemed to age much.

RIP Ronnie

Insect Overlord · 31-03-2016 01:06PM

Before my time, really, but with the likes of UK Gold and old VHS tapes my dad still made sure I saw some of the Two Ronnies (and other greats of that era like Dave Allen and Tommy Cooper) when I was younger. Wonderful entertainer. R.I.P.

Just heard the sad news. R.I.P. The four candles sketch is definitely the best.

No it's just that all the good comedians are from the same era. The comedians today are not in the same league as the Two Ronnies, Little and Large, Dick Emery, Tommy Cooper etc etc Their comedy was simpler slapstick stuff.

Rest in peace Ronnie.

Fav ever Extras episode!

RIP, The 2 Ronnies were amazing, you know you're a good double act when your comedy is timeless, still as funny now!

Aglomerado · 31-03-2016 02:14PM

He kept himself up to date, too. I love this modern version of "Four Candles"

RIP
