Unfortunately, the language used is far from that used by the late Ronnie B. It reads as if it was a genuine script rewritten, with added crudities, by the likes of Roy (Chubby) Brown.

I was far from impressed.

As an aside, At his memorial service, the church paid its own tribute to Ronnie Barker. By arrangement, the procession was led by bearers carrying four candles.

I agree

Not what Ronnie Barker would have broadcast but written in his style.

Ronnie Barker was much more subtle.

The ear had to be very quick to get it all.
