The character "Fletcher" from Porrige was a happy marriage of comedy genius and brilliant acting.  He was truly a flawed hero that wouldn't have had anywhere near the same charisma had he been played by anyone else.

:lol:

Barker was a master of the art of timing, visual gags, delivery and had a fantastic range as an actor.  He was one of the very few comics who could play a role believably straight too.
