Danny Baker interviews Barry Cryer (13 Jun 2015)

[@britturk123]

Barry calling himself a backroom boy when he wrote for the great comedians of that era just shows how charming he was but he was never backroom but i believe he thought very much that he was maybe even thought I'm nicking a living, but that could not be further from the truth, what a humble wonderful man.

[@deepestdub]

Wonderful stuff. RIP Barry. One of a kind.

[@ednewton4455]

Legend. Thanks for the upload. The world is a poorer place without Barry 😪

[@britturk123]

R.I.P Barry Cryer a warm wonderful human being who happened to be very funny in the brain and self, thanks for all the laughs Barry.

This is a very intelligent interview between two very well-informed and intelligent people. Bring back Danny Baker, he is a real treasure.

[@peterowen9183]

Yep, lovely stuff. And a reminder that most of the time you see comedians doing their thing and it looks effortless and easy - there's always somebody working away behind the scenes to make it *look* effortless and easy. And Barry Cryer was one such. RIP, sir, you made millions of people laugh - what better legacy could there be?

[@gphunk1995]

There’s an absolutely terrific podcast with Barry and Danny sitting in a pub, exchanging stories. Well worth a listen.

I miss Danny Baker's show and Barry Cryer. This is a great interview.

[@mikehumble1120]

Thanks for posting this candy man. Barry was a generous, funny and raconteur par excellence.... He WILL be missed.

Danny, the best radio show ever, TalkSport probably exists because of Danny starting 606. RIP Barry.

[@Isleofskye]

Thoroughly enjoyable interview with Barry, one of the true greats. Danny seems to have moved onwards and upwards since arranging coaches for Millwall fans to Away games from our salubrious South East London residences, in another life. The Peasants’ Revolt led by Wat Tyler in 1381 moved over Blackheath as did so many of us from our Inner London youth and 39 years later, I still miss the vibrancy and stimulation of that area and era every day.

Thankyou Danny

[@frankronald5761]

Great interview. What a show DB was and how wrong to axe it. There has never been its equal. Thank you Danny for all the entertainment.

[@EnglishmanInLdn]

A great man....a sad day.

[@thepeckhampoet1909]

Met the man once after his show at the comedy store a few years back, met Don ward that night too, He was pure class.

[@timwright4263]

I envied Barry. Prolific writer. Gifted bastard.

[@stepheng8779]

Aw bless you Barry. Thanks for putting this up Danny, miss you on the radio, these great guests, legends who everyone else seem to ignore. Fantastic stories that just effortlessly flow, Lionel Blair's was a classic bless him. One that stayed with me was Tommy Steele telling us about seeing the ghost of his brother on his hospital bed, sent shivers.

[@flatmoon6359]

A genius has passed.

[@Isleofskye]

[@dizzyd7185]

Top man Danny.

[@patrickpayne8330]

Great Post...Danny..(as it comes across)...was absorbing what was being talked about.... very south London....you learn everything about everybody by letting them talk....they either swim or drown in your opinion

[@RichardVobes]

Lovely interview, Danny!

[@Smudgie]

Cardew Robinson. Now that's a name from the dim and distant past.

[@Isleofskye]

Wasn't he a bit of a cad?

[@ysgol3]

A wonderful bundle of fun, RIP to the great, unique Barry.

[@leeshacklock6308]

too many tears but still not enough

[@gordongrant894]

Thanks Danny ,That was wonderful

[@mesolithicman164]

Barry Cryer could have been a star in his own right. He was clearly more than 'just' a writer. A very funny man who even had a number one pop hit.

[@leecannon2047]

Their recent podcast together was great 👍

[@johndowie6660]

Would love to listen to this but the dreadful tinkling music in the background makes it impossible (for me). Why is it there?

[@DreamsOfAfrica]

Noel Fielding would have to be todays equivalent of Kenny Everett, not sure Ross could pull it off as good.

[@stepheng8779]

Noel Fielding? Not even close.

[@DreamsOfAfrica]

@@stepheng8779 Ross is not even close, noel is way more kenny then ross.

[@davidoconnell4100]

Baz would have been a great pint.

[@alastairmuir1683]

Stop talking over the great man

[@poppycock31185]

Danny Baker is very entertaining and full of interesting anecdotes but he is also his own biggest fan. Every time he interviews a guest it is basically a Danny Baker interview with interludes by *insert name of person being interviewed* I still like the guy though.
