It's good night from him ...

"All I Ever Wrote" is a big book from an immensely talented man - 734 pages containing 229 sketches and plays and 11 poems. A veritable cornucopia of English humour, it's amazing just how many classics of English hunour were penned by Ronnie Barker (under the pseudonym Gerald Wiley) - from "Futtock's End (the near silent film with almost no dialogue) to "Four Candles". A vast majority first saw the light of day on the "Two Ronnies" - monologues, dialogues, songs and serials. Barker wrote nearly three-quarters of the scripts for the TV program that ran for 15 years. Ronnie Barker was not a comedian, but he was an extremely capable actor with a talent for comedy. Without a script he was not a funny man - off-stage he was a quiet family man - but given a good script he became a comic genius. "All I Ever Wrote" proves just how much of a genius Ronnie Barker really was.
