Sad news to hear of the passing of this true legend of comedy.
A genius who wrote for some of the greats and was hilarious in various panel shows on TV and, particularly, radio.
We saw him on a repeat of 'Would I lie to you' the other say and was so funny and so obviously held in such high regard by the others.

A brilliantly funny man:
A man shoots a golden eagle, a protected species, and goes up before the magistrate.
'I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to shoot it,' he says. 'It just flew into my sights and I shot it by mistake.'
'Well, what did you do with it afterwards?' asked the magistrate.
'I ate it,' he said.
'You ate it!' said the magistrate. 'What did it taste like?'
'Rather like swan,' he said.
RIP, Barry.

A true comedian who didn’t need vulgarity to be funny. RIP

One of - if not the - last of a golden generation. Immensely funny and likeable gent.
RIP, Barry - and thanks for all the laughs.

A true legend over many generations working with so many comedians.
I can remember listening to him on "I Haven't a Clue" 50 years ago - 6th form common room staple diet.
Will be truly missed.
