Extremely sad news. Barry seemed to have been around forever. He knew almost everyone that mattered in showbiz and from what I've read he was a great bloke to have as a friend to those lucky enough to know him.
A sad loss to British showbiz.
RIP Barry.

RIP Barry, British comedy's ambassador.
What I liked about him was his open-minded lack of any comedy prejudice, he treated all types of comedy the same unlike many 'old school' or modern comedians who can be hostile or dismissive towards anything they don't like or understand. Either it's funny or it's not, that's how it should be.

I still keep missing cameos in that!
