A great loss. Almost the last of the ISIHAC gang to go (Graeme Garden is still alive but has not performed for a while - Barry is the last to have appeared regularly/recently). He almost certainly had more gags than nearly any other comedian still extant.

Graham can’t die. Who would bring me the head of Alfredo Garcia?

On a technicality, who would you take the head of Alfredo Garcia to?

But yes, who indeed? I listened to Barry in the first two episodes of the latest series of ISIHAC just before xmas - his last appearance there, now. The end of an era.

Here’s a skit by The Committee – I think that’s Julie Payne with him? In any case, she played Johnny’s ex, Buffy, in a WKRP episode

I was too young to remember this episode in prime time but it does cycle through retro TV.

He’s the shorter guy on the left…

I believe he had a couple of other roles on the show, too.
