The original manuscript of the The Two Ronnies' famous sketch The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town has sold for nearly £4,000.

The script, hand-written by Oxfordshire comedian Ronnie Barker, went for £3,700 to Valentine Christensencorr from Buckinghamshire.

The script had previously been given by Mr Barker to a charity auction to raise money for the Kingsweston Special Schoolcorr in Bristol in 1976, but had laid in the draw of the buyer since then.

Mr Barker, who lived in Dean near Chipping Norton, entertained millions as one half of the comedy duo The Two Ronnies, with Ronnie Corbett.

He died in 2005, aged 76.
