What a genius! October 14, 2008
Those three words say it all, really. I have been a fan of R.B. for years, yet only recently got round to reading this book. In fact, I haven't quite finished it, it's massive. There isn't an item that will dissappoint, no matter how old a piece is, one can still see the humour even after three decades or more. Mind you that might be a reflection of my age!! There are many sketches that you remember and come to life as you read them and you can 'see' R.B. as you read. His comedy was down to his ability as a straight actor in his early working life and he never forgot his craft. Brilliant. What a genius!!

"A Play What I Wrote" February 24, 2004
29 out of 29 found this review helpful
"A Play What I Wrote" -- the catchphrase of the late Ernie Wise of that wonderful double act -- Morecambe Wise. But I don't think that Ernie ever wrote a play or sketch.brHowever Ronnie Barker of that other celebrated and highly popular double act - The Two Ronnies - has written a couple of plays. And since the 1960s he has written hundreds of monologues and sketches, totting up some half a million words.brIn his book "ALL I EVER WROTE" are, word for word, almost all the scripts that Ronnie wrote. Regrettably copies of some of his early writings were not saved at the time and have been lost forever. What remains is delightful and thoroughly enjoyable and amusing. Most were televised and whilst reading those that we have seen on the small screen they can quickly and easily provide us with a mental picture in our minds.brThe quiet, unassuming Ronnie Barker was able to perform the dozens of parts for us by slipping into the characters not only in his ability to change his voice and dialects but also with the remarkable changes of appearance, so that sometimes we needed to look carfefully and closely to be sure it was him.brBuy the book, settle down in a quiet corner and be prepared for an enjoyable time reading and visualising these fascinating and humourous writings.
The perfect record of a comic genius November 11, 2001
32 out of 37 found this review helpful
Ronnie Barker is a national treasure. No question. From the bumbling Granville in "Open All Hours", via the wise-cracking Fletcher in "Porridge" to larger half of his classic double act with Ronnie Corbett, this man oozed comedy. Not only was he one of the most talented character actors of his generation but his abilty to write comedy was also extraordinary. pThis book does exactly what it says on the cover: contains all Barker's scripts from his long career in television and they make joyous reading. Okay, some of the jokes are predictable and yes, some of the situations do seem particularly dated but everything is written with such verve and good feeling that you are willing to forgive these minor quibbles. This is an innocent kind of comedy, a comedy from a better time, life affirming and brilliant. pSo whatever you think of the current crop of comedians, spend a few hours in the company of Ronnie Barker and learn how it should be done.pFour candles? No, fork handles!
Wide-ranging, subtle, vulgar and hugely enjoyable collection April 4, 2001

I was lucky enough to obtain a signed copy of this book by my comedy hero; Ronnie Barkers' work on screen was inventive, nostalgic, satirical, wistful and saucy but never cruel or obscene. Most of this book is taken up with material from the hugely successful BBC series "The Two Ronnies" penned by Ronnie under a pseudonym. It features sketches and songs, Two Ronnies serials like "The Phantom raspberry blower" and the wonderful "Piggy Malone and Charlie Farley", as well as the scripts for the marvellous lost silent films "The Picnic" and "By the Sea" (with Ronnie Corbett) as well as the earlier masterpiece "Futtocks End". I can't recommend this book highly enough. Genius.p Review by Ian Stephens
