Ronnie Barker's scriptwriter? Just for the record, Barker personally wrote many of the sketches for The Two Ronnies (and several other shows in which he appeared), submitting the scripts secretly under the pseudonym "Gerald Wiley" ('wily' - geddit?).

By using a pseudonym, he hoped not to influence the producers into using - or rejecting - his material.

Thankfully, they found Gerald Wiley's sketches so amusing that they were happy to broadcast them - including 'Four Candles' and those clever word-play sketches. Many years passed before Barker revealed that he was the mysterious "Gerald Wiley".

Fantastic info, thanks! Clever man, shame he's no longer with us.

Remember the thread suffers from lack of "common angst" since bail-out - apart from perhaps the synchronized diving of interest rates and stock market ! (copyright 2008 amistupid)
