He's said his last fffff-farewell but we can still enjoy the legacy of
his work.

Hopefully this will trigger some classic re-runs.

Wonder will there be four candles?

And it's goodnight from him.

This verse was posted on umra, I reproduce it here without permission:

So, farewell then
Ronnie Barker
Man of many parts
It really is
Goodnight from him
Worms are not enough
I shall light
Fork handles

The door of Slade Prison has closed for the last time - and with it
