Did Ronnie Barker ever get any sort of honours (I've no doubt he would have, I just don't recall them, offhand)?
I think the fact that Ronnie Barker missed out on a what would have been hugely deserved Knighthood should hopefully stop them making the same mistake and let Ronnie Corbett miss out
Give a famouse person a knighthood for sevices to-entertainment (in this case). These people are in it for their own ego. It's a privilege to work in such well paying industry, don't give me all of this "services to" rubbish. Please.
Probably a nice bloke, but non of these showbizzers should get knighted for having a great-job for decades.

Yeah. Maybe make them CBEs or OBEs-but keep the knighthoods for really exceptional and altruistic works, above and beyond the call of duty.
bad example where there is a strictly come dancing forum
Well then do you want the OP to list the countless tv shows he has done over the years? Sure it would be more suited to 'showbiz' but considering his career in tv, its not out of place.

Better seats in restaurants? The feeling of superiority over us non-titled peasants?
Yeah, there is that I suppose.
Charlie Chaplin had to wait until he was 85.

Yeah, that sounds like a pretty good way to go about it.

I had a dream about the Generation Game last night aswell!
An overdue case of "Knight to see you, to see you knight" .:)
And for those who ask what he's done to deserve it, there are many who have been knighted for doing far less and at a much younger age.
So, is this what he's been working towards?
How arrogant is this?
Meaning that all the people in the industry who dont have recognition have all wasted their time.
Ive seen documentaries with him, and absolutely changed my mind about him. He is an arrogant, conceited, pig.
