Adam Barker, 44, of no fixed address, appeared at Isleworth Crown Court last month and admitted 20 counts. Barker, the youngest son of the television comic, was first arrested in June 2003 as part of a police operation targeting people accessing indecent images of children on the internet. A computer seized from his home in Ealing contained thousands of images. Barker went on the run for eight years, living in Hungary. During that time he missed the funeral of his father, who died in 2005 aged 76. As an actor, Adam Barker had small parts in films including Shakespeare in Love and Tomorrow Never Dies. He has also appeared in TV shows such as Casualty, Monarch of the Glen and Wycliffe.
