Ronnie Barker's timing...

[Glebe]

By the time he made Open all Hours he could barely make it through a scene without stumbling over his lines. Sad ...

Yeah he could barely "Ta-tins of peas!"

New page Barker timing twat.

"Wha' ya' readin', Fletch?"

"-book"

So simple, but RB shuts the book to glance at the cover, before delivering the answer. It happens at the speed of light, and is fantastic.

[Butchers Blind]

It is one of the best symbiotic relationships between script and performance.  Watching its hard to believe its the same guy from The Two Ronnies.

I don't trust either of the two Ronalds.

Was watching some of that GOLD Porridge doc on YouTube t'other night. Sadly only bits of it are up.
