    Comedy Heroes #38 Ronnie Barker
    Jun 27 2025
    The Always Be Comedy team (OK, James and Tim) have launched a spin-off podcast: Always Be Comedy’s Comedy Heroes. Each Friday, they’ll celebrate the icons, trailblazers and, in some instances, overlooked geniuses who’ve shaped the world of humour. Today's hero is Ronnie Barker! SELECTED HIGHLIGHTS Porridge - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pY1x5gPTEJ4 Four Candles - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sO6EE1xTXmw Not the Nine O'Clock News - The Two Ninnies - https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6oVG4_k7Hbc More on Comedy Heroes : We’ll uncover hidden gems, revisit classic routines, and share the sorts of behind-the-scenes anecdotes that you can pass off as your own knowledge at dinner parties (“Did you know that Julia Louis-Dreyfus is the daughter of a billionaire? You did? Ah, that’s sort of rained on my parade a little…”). What’s more, each episode kicks off with reader correspondence. Want to nominate a “Comedy Hero”? Please email theteam@alwaysbecomedy.com with the subject line “Comedy Heroes”. And we’ll also take a look at the comedy news from that week. If laughter is the best medicine, James and Tim should be doctors*! *This is just a gentle way to wrap up – James and Tim should NOT be doctors. Learn more about your ad choices.
