Saddened to see this on the news earlier today.

Although small in stature, Ronnie Corbett must be considered as a giant of British comedy.
I can't say that I liked all of his work - for instance his sketches from the Two Ronnies when he was sat alone in his chair.
Together, however as the Two Ronnies, they were pure genius. I can still cry with laughter to many of those scenes.

God rest you Ronnie.
Re-united with Ronnie Barker, Heaven is going to be rolling on the floor with laughter tonight.

Agreed Kevin, when they were together they were incredibly funny.

Still my favorite sketch of all time.

"My goodness!" as Ronnie often said, describing a supposed reaction to a major disaster.

If people keep dying like this, there'll only be you & me left.

Too many moments of brilliance to mention, but that sketch has to be right up there!

Yes, R.I.P., Ronnie, and thanks for the laughs. :'(
