RIP Ronnie "If I wear too much tartan I tend to look like a Thermos flask” Corbett
I shall light the mythic four you know whats in his memory
.
“There was a fire at the main Inland Revenue office in London today, but it was put out before any serious good was done.”
“We'll be talking to a car designer who's crossed a Toyota with Quasimodo and come up with the Hatchback of Notre Dame.”
“A juggernaut of onions has shed its load all over the M1. Motorists are advised to find a hard shoulder to cry on.”
“We've just heard that in the English Channel, a ship carrying red paint has collided with a ship carrying purple paint. It is believed that both crews have been marooned.”
“French wine growers fear that this year's vintage may be entirely spoiled due to the grape treaders' sit-in.”
“A cement mixer collided with a prison van on the Kingston by-pass. Motorists are asked to be on the look-out for 16 hardened criminals.”
“We will be talking to an out of work contortionist who says he can no longer make ends meet.”
“All those who believe in psychokinesis raise my right hand.”
"...the isle is full of noises,
Sounds and sweet airs, that give delight and hurt not.
Sometimes a thousand twangling instruments
Will hum about mine ears, and sometime voices..."

Another complete master of his trade gone.
Corbett came relatively late to recognition of his hugely versatile talent as an entertainer.
God bless you, Ronnie, for providing some great laughs throughout all those years for old and young alike ... a very rare thing these days. R.I.P

Sad news indeed. I've just heard that a tribute will be made on BBC 2, TONIGHT,
31st March - The Many Faces of Ronnie Corbett - 20.00/21.00 hrs. An apt title for such a wide ranging talent.

Very sad news. I met him once at a function back in 1995 and while I am something of a shortie at 5' 2'' RC was a good couple of inches below me!
My favourite TV memories are the Frost Report sketches and of him telling his funny stories in the chair in the Two Ronnies. A wonderful comic talent.

I was lucky enough to meet him in Edinburgh once. A truly lovely man.
RIP, Ronnie. Thanks for the laughs.

A comedian for all age groups,which is rare.
My kind of jokes
"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."
RIP RonnieComment

I've never seen such a universal splash of front page tributes as to Ronnie C. Thought it deserved drawing together with my own special tribute.
