It was my dad who introduced me to David Jason in only fools and horses. Still to this day my favourite sit com ever. He then introduced me to open all hours and porridge. I cherish those days as a young lad in hysterics on the sofa with him. I live in Australia now but everytime I miss home I just sit and watch a few episodes of only fools or open all hours and I feel better again. Thank you Ronnie and Jason. You are true legends and heroes off mine.

Absolute legends. Untouchable. Hours and hours of comic gold. So many childhood memories of watching these two.

I’m sorry but Ronnie is 1 of the very few who actually deserve a knighthood can’t believe they let him pass away without it u could see in his eyes when David mentioned it that was his dream to he (sir) but in my eyes he always has been SIR RONNIE BARKER

That warm embrace between 2 comic geniuses brought a tear to my eye

My Nan used to be a very serious person when it came to comedy, wasn't really a laugh out loud kind of person but David Jason's shows used to leave her crying in laughter. Thank you for bringing joy to her life, my life and all my family. Much love to both David Jason and the late great Ronnie Barker!! Anytime I'm having a bad day I'd put on an episode of Porridge or Only Fools and Horses and suddenly the day wouldn't seem so bad 😊

The genuine love these two had for each other is so heart warming

Ronnie Barker and David Jason. Comedy greats who have brought so much joy to many people.

How or why Ronnie Barker never got a part in only fools and horses is beyond me. He would have made the greatest British comedy show even greater than it was if that’s possible. 😂😂 two legends.

I don't think Ronnie would have ever taken a part in OFAH if it had've been offered to him. In professional terms they were like father and son, and all parents want to give their children freedom in their own projects, rather than accidentally steal their child's glory.

Great point… I always thought Barker would have been excellent as the Trotters’ dad had he not been cast already. The fella who played him was good though tbh. Was amazed Sullivan didn’t write a cameo role for Barker at Rodney’s wedding or even as a crafty con man playing off against Del in the Nags Head. What might have been…

Just yes, in every interview with David, he always mentions Ronnie.

Made me laugh, the banter was brilliant, every time David or Ronnie won an award, and they noticed each other at awards ceremonies , they’d become Granville and Arkwright, and jokingly talk like them, like Ronnie did here. 😂

Rip Ronnie Barker. Sir David Jason is a legend & definitely my favourite actor of all time. Thank you Sir David.

On a positive note, you're alive now and you have access to their entire catalog of shows to watch whenever you want. It's not all bad, my friend.

If you watch David Jason speech when Ronnie Barker gets his lifetime bafta, he makes a point to call him the governor. Love and respect like that like you just don't see these days.

You just can’t cut me off like that!

You can see how much it means to David Jason to be awarded this by the late great Ronnie Barker.

Immortal these two.

I've been 'wallowing in bit of Nostalgia' the last day or two, 'Morecambe & Wise with Des O'Connor!' led me to here! ( btw I'm only 56! ) but seeing these greats is so enjoyable. True talent is timeless! I love Ronnie Barker's " I have an option.. no, opinion " ad lib, from failing eyesight reading the autocue! Brought the House down !
