The Gossip! - Fancy buying yourself a slice of comedy history? Well if you have a spare £5000, comedian Ronnie Barker’s script for ‘The Phantom Rasberry Blower of London Town’ is set for auction at Cirencester based firm Dominic Winter in June. Re-written in 1976 by Ronnie Barker from a Spike Milligan script, the it was thought to be lost and so was never included his book ‘All I Ever Wrote’. Low and behold it was being stashed away after Ronnie Barker donated the piece to a fundraising auction back in ‘76.
