# Arf!
Funnily enough, I watched the DVD of the series only a couple of weeks ago. Not as good as Porridge, but still extremely funny.

I can not recommend buying this highly enough: www.play.com/DVD/DVD/4-/717747/The-Ultimate-Ronnie-Barker-Collection-Box-Set/Product.html

# Agreed
On first watch I thought it was poor, but it quickly grew on me

edit: Fuck me, that looks a great collection - I have all of Porridge and Going Straight already though

# His other stuff is rather good too,
The Magnificent Evans and Clarence, also Seven of One was brilliant. I think they suffered from not being Porridge or Open All Hours though.

# Will just have to work out if it's best to buy that or the missing stuff

# It will probably be best to buy the box set.
The individual DVDs are about a tenner normally. Although of course, you may just be missing one or two of them :)

# looks ace.
he is one of the best comic actors ever - he's to be mentioned in the same breath as Sellers, even.

# Easily.
He was so great! I was genuinely depressed when he died.

# Oh, god.
I'd actually forgotten he was dead.

# Sorry to remind you :(
It is weird though, it is almost like he never went away with the way his work still lives on innit :)

I was watching an interview with Corbett the other day and he was welling up just talking about him. I will try and remember what it was....
