Palin on Corbett: Ronnie had a great sense of silliness

The actor and comedian Michael Palin has been paying tribute to his friend Ronnie Corbett who has died at the age of 85.

Speaking to Martha Kearney on Radio 4's World at One, Mr Palin said: "He could do the serious stuff as well, but there was a lovely sort of mischief. His eyes twinkled and he'd have a go at it. He was absolutely delightful to play with."
