  Barry had a library in his London home that was something that would not have been out of place in Hogwarts! Crammed to the rafters with rare first editions and personally inscribed tomes. A huge table filled the central space and was itself “loaded” with dusty stacks of books. It was a wonderful treasure trove and testimony to Barry’s life long passion as a Bibliophile!<br><br>I remember this BBC recording well as BH phoned me in mild panic in search of some obscure tracks he wanted to include in the show but had no direct access to. He had gifted my wife and I two editions of his “So Rare” cd collection including those unsung recordings from yesteryear. The BBC sent a courier to my Newbury home and the day was saved! 😅 Such fond memories of an extraordinary talent and dear friend for over 36 years. Rest in peace Barry and “a joyous heart, always”!

  Behind all his comedy parts, no one would have ever guessed that there was such a serious distinguished gentleman. He was brilliant.

  He is gone, but I am not sad. &nbsp;He is still there, and unforgotten. &nbsp;I do not cry that he is gone, for I am glad he still remains in my soul. &nbsp;We are blessed to know him and remember him for he has gladdened our hearts. &nbsp;What a wonderful bastard he is.
