Comedian Ronnie Corbett has led a host of tributes from across the entertainment world to comic actor Ronnie Barker, who has died aged 76.
Corbett said his late partner was "pure gold in triplicate - as a performer, a writer and a friend".
Barker died peacefully on Monday with his wife Joy by his side, after a long period of heart trouble.

and
Ronnie Barker's best lines
A selection of the star's finest lines, from classic shows like The Two Ronnies, Open All Hours and Porridge.
The Two Ronnies:
On a packed show tonight, we'll be talking to an out-of-work contortionist who can no longer make ends meet
Porridge:
What have I learned, Mr Mackay? Three things. One - bide your time. Two - keep your nose clean. And three - don't let the bastards grind you down
The Two Ronnies:
The man who invented the zip fastener was today honoured with a lifetime peerage. He will now be known as the Lord of the Flies
Porridge:
Doctor: I want you to fill one of those containers for me.
Fletcher (other side of the room): What, from 'ere?
Open All Hours:
Don't just crit there siticising!
The Two Ronnies:
The toilets at a local police station have been stolen. Police say they have nothing to go on
The Frost Report:
I look up to him because he is upper class, but I look down on him because he is lower class
The Two Ronnies:
The search for the man who terrorises nudist camps with a bacon slicer goes on. Inspector Lemuel Jones had a tip-off this morning, but hopes to be back on duty tomorrow
Porridge:
(Playing Monopoly) Would you Adam and Eve it? Go to jail!
The Two Ronnies:
Ronnie Corbett (shop assistant): There you are, four candles.
Ronnie Barker: No, fork 'andles! 'Andles for forks!
The Two Ronnies:
Ronnie Corbett: So it's good night from me...
Ronnie Barker: ...and it's good night from him. Good night!
I have a cunning plan ........

These I like too:
Many old music hall fans were present at the funeral today of Fred ¡§Chuckles¡¨ Jenkins, Britain¡¦s oldest, unfunniest comedian. In tribute, the vicar read out one of Fred¡¦s jokes and the congregation had two minutes¡¦ silence.
I knew a man who was convicted of stealing a calendar. He got 12 months.
CORBETT: ¡§This next sketch is about two workers caught in an explosion in a ball-bearing factory. In it, I play a man who loses his bearings.¡¨ BARKER: ¡§And I play a man who loses his . . . temper.¡¨
Next week we¡¦ll be investigating rumours that the president of the dairy council has become a Mason, and goes around giving his colleagues the secret milkshake.

Sad news indeed.
Several good tribute shows / compilations appearing on the bittorrent sites for download.
