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.
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 😊
What is there left to say about Ronnie Barker? I don't think we will see the likes of him ever again... R.I.P. Sir ...the one and only legend of comedy !!
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…
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
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. 😂
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.
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 !
HarveyAvk Ronnie Barker death was such a sad loss to show business . He was a such a great comedian and brilliant actor. I felt he retired too soon and should have been a lot more films .
Ronnie Barker, the very very best comedy actor and character actor we have ever seen on our screens. R.I.P Ronnie, you are sadly missed, but thank god we have your lasting legacy on DVD's etc.
Such a shame it's cuts off like you mentioned but thank you for the upload. My top 2 favourites of all time and I'm 34. Can't beat these guys - legends. RIP Ronnie barker also
And I always wonder why... the greatest of them all... makes me cry as I watch him now, heavy day? an evening with 'Clarence', or a visit to 'Open all hours'... and relaxed...
My top two actors and I’m 16, Sir David is the reason I love comedy and it makes me sad seeing this because poor old Ronnie B didn’t look well here and it will be a sad day for me and quite a lot of the whole population when Sir David Goes but RIP Ronnie B
not seen this absolute gold= not seen this post and its valuable. I have given it a spotter red heart x 10+ = the post is worth 10 of the ppotter hearts. Thanks for uploading
Spot on. Two fine actors who were equally good at both Comedic and Dramatic roles (two sides of the same coin). Any one over the age of 16 can feel privileged to have shared the same time as both these men did
Ronnie Barker and David Jason make you proud to be English
Legends that will never die
Moo

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

That hug shared between these 2 legends was so beautiful and moving.It showed how much they loved and admired each other
Yep! And we can be very, very certain that that's the way they greeted each other, too, when they finally met again at the gates of Heaven!🤗
@@johnrowley3140 Greeted? David Jason is still alive thankfully
@@martinputt6421 yes he probably meant in life they GREETED like this and the same at the pearly gates :)
@@alfie2488 No he said it like David Jason had died
@@martinputt6421 mistake maybe ? And its hard to interpret feelings through comments
That warm embrace between 2 comic geniuses brought a tear to my eye
Ronnie Barker and David Jason. Comedy greats who have brought so much joy to many people.
Fantastic actors, the both of them, even though Ronnie was ill, he never lost his sense of humour
The genuine love these two had for each other is so heart warming
What is there left to say about Ronnie Barker? I don't think we will see the likes of him ever again... R.I.P. Sir ...the one and only legend of comedy !!
Not only Legends but the best ever actors who are in my heart I'm crying with joy watching this

At the time ronnie would still have been doing the 2 Ronnie's.

@@jimmydyne I agree. He also never did receive his well-deserved knighthood.
Beautiful , simply beautiful , Love Ronnie Barker and David Jason !!
So glad I was born in a era when comedy was at it peak David Jason Ronnie Barker absolute legends
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
Its cause his son was a pedo (convicted)
I think he turned it down
The best 2 comedy actors to have ever graced the screen not just in this country but the world
Aww I loved the little bromance between David and Ronnie, you could tell how much they respected each other.
Just yes, in every interview with David, he always mentions Ronnie.
Ronnie Barker was a legend rip sir Ronnie.
Kate King he was indeed. I place him right at the top with Benny Hill. Both have given me decades of laughter.
Today - Feb. 2 2021 - is Sir David John White's ("David Jason's") 81st borthday! All the very best to this wonderful actor!
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.
Granville, Del Boy, Larkin, Frost...arguably four best characters in telly history. All played by David Jason... A true great
You forgot Danger Mouse, he played his side kick can’t remember his name though?
dean crighton David Jason played danger mouse
dean crighton you mean angel mouse
@@rocket5551 his side kick was penfold
Count Dukula too I think!
as a 16 year old i can say i am so sad i was not born in the 70s to watch these 2 legands
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.
Me too
Ronnie Barker legend & deeply missed r.i.p
Watching these two comedic geniuses side by side growing up,this was incredibly moving and nostalgic.
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 can see how much it means to David Jason to be awarded this by the late great Ronnie Barker.
You just can’t cut me off like that!
Such is life, unfortunately.
Superb! You can’t beat British comedy. Open All Hours will always be my favorite. Two comedic genius’ in one program. 😎
David Jason is without a doubt the greatess actor the world has ever seen
No, not even close.
Transcendent Studios what?
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 !
I'm "only" 43, but I loved it when I taped it off the telly, and love it still :)
Ronnie Barker and Sir David Jason had a friendship like no other
Its so sad to see this video because Ronnie Barker was such a great comedian. He was such a natural comedian. I dont think we will see his like again.
Logical Network truly 1 of a kind and never to be replaced so sad that he passed on wish he could have lived forever and made more porridge
HarveyAvk Ronnie Barker death was such a sad loss to show business . He was a such a great comedian and brilliant actor. I felt he retired too soon and should have been a lot more films .
Agreed you never will

I am in my 40s and have the same opinion these are the best comic actors in the world but David Jason dramatic acting if fabulous too.
This video is amazing. Loved Ronnie Barker and David Jason.
He should have been knighted absolutely cruel to let this legend pass without being given the sir title
And I always wonder why... the greatest of them all... makes me cry as I watch him now, heavy day? an evening with 'Clarence', or a visit to 'Open all hours'... and relaxed...
He may have been offered it but turned it down
Oh no it ended too soon. Thank you for posting.
Immortal these two.
A very emotional and down to earth man is Jason
who would have thought two years later David Jason would be paying a tribute to is beautiful friend Ronnie Baker
Wonderful, two entertainment legends.
I couldn’t agree more.
My top two actors and I’m 16, Sir David is the reason I love comedy and it makes me sad seeing this because poor old Ronnie B didn’t look well here and it will be a sad day for me and quite a lot of the whole population when Sir David Goes but RIP Ronnie B
The respect Jason has for Ronnie is heart warming. They knew who the guvnor was. RIP Ronnie
His a under rated star. .my most favorite actor in the world favorite human just a champion. .
Great stuff! Thanks for posting this.

David Jason: This is one anecdote that, uhm...
Me: "that, uhm" will be cut off apparently!
An incredibly talented comic actor AND dramatic actor
Both legends
Genius both of them.
Bloody hell that was emotional ❤
And I thought the sopranos had a cliffhanger ending 😂
Ronnie was to pass away shortly after this.
We know
Transcendent Studios He died 2 years later. This was 2003, he died in October 2005.
❤️

6:39 Martin Fowler’s changed a bit isn’t he?!
Ronnie barker and david Jason was the best ever
Two of Britain's finest.
So sad to know that Ronnie Barker passed away just two years later. And he never received his well-deserved knighthood.
I feel so lucky to have lived during this period also with Morecambe and Wise so funny without filth
It's about David Jason not Morecambe and Wise so your comment is pointless
@@JustinBamber you obviously didn’t understand that it was a general comment related to all of them
1:21 the amazing quick fire wit of Ronnie barker
R.I.P. Archie Lyndhurst.
Too emotional for me, hard to watch.
Ronnie Barker and David Jason, such great actors, their friendship was lovely.
Hey Dave your a star, you are my most favorite actor favorite human in the world. .
Fantastic
"Thank you madam"
When celebrities actually had talent.
Two legends!! Two Guvnors!
Wtf? What was the anecdote????
Not once did they swear ...great comedy actors.
But sir sir one is dead!

So true
Comic geniuses that will never be bettered, look at what we have today☹️
What was the anecdote?! 😁
The king
2 great British institutions who I grew up with. I left England over 30 years ago but still settle down to these 2 to get away from it all.
The final anecdote ? 🥺
Enjoyed him as Jack Frost.
