Synopsis
Ronnie Barker created the series Clarence under the pseudonym Bob Ferris. He stars as Clarence Sale, a bumbling, short-sighted Cockney removals man, who sees the world as an opaque blur and spends more of his time bumbing into things than packing them. Then he bumps into housemaid Jane Travers - who changes his life in dramatic ways.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great show, 10 Oct 2005
By Paul Jones (Sturbridge, MA USA) - See all my reviews
With all the problems in the World, I really can't imagine why people get so upset at such stupid things. This is really a delight to watch, in the same vein as Last Of The Summer Wine, just a very mellow sweet show. Can you imagine criticising Dad's Army for it's portrayel of the elderly or Open All Hours for the speech impaired? Good grief!

5.0 out of 5 stars Absolutely hysterical, 25 Aug 2006
By Aidan CA Hopkins (GB) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
An oft-forgotten gem of Ronnie Barker's. Several times I had to stop the playback until I stopped laughing so much! My own eyesight is still fortunately good, but I shall not mind making reference to bits from Clarence when it gets defective. (I am disabled - one leg - and know many others who are in various ways, and we don't have a problem with our sense of humour).

I think the best bits are when he sits on his old WW1 helmet spike and thinks it was a bee, and when he boils the china dummy egg.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Real Gem, 22 Mar 2007
By Mr. Roger G. Young - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
Ronnie Barker has the ability to see humour and fun in almost any situation, and this comes across in droves in Clarence. He will be sorely missed by those that can accept their own failings and still laugh at ourselves, even if in doing so, we are being politically incorrect!
To the reviewer who thinks it is a case of making fun at someone elses misfortune - you missed the point entirely, go get your head out of your backside and get a life!
