Two Ronnies Sketchbook

Friday, June 13th, 2008

tworonnies.jpgIt’s not clear right now if this is a repeat or a new selection without linking material from Ronnies B and C, but the BBC are nevertheless airing The Two Ronnies Sketchbook this Saturday night at 9.35pm, BBC One.

You know, you cannot beat the Two Ronnies, whether it’s adventure yarn pastiche or humorous lyrics to famous songs, or just good old fashioned wordplay.

They’ve long been one of my favourite comedy double acts, and it was a great loss to the comedy world when Ronnie Barker sadly passed away.

Thankfully, however, he did it with one final last hurrah - The Two Ronnies Sketchbook - around 15 years after he announced his retirement from showbiz.

Here’s a clip from them, with one of their classic, most famous sketches, “Fork Handles”.

Polls and Leagues

Thursday, May 15th, 2008

lazarou.jpgJust browsing the web the other day, I stumbled across the results of Channel 4’s 50 Greatest Comedy Sketches (2006?). It’s a good mix of contemporary and classic, and despite giving the award to Little Britain I feel that the rest of the table is a pretty good reflection.

In fact the only really contentious point is the presence of The League of Gentlemen, confirming that no one seems to know whether it is a sketch show or a sitcom.

  1. Lou and Andy (Swimming Pool) - Little Britain
  2. Petshop/Dead Parrot - Monty Python’s Flying Circus
  3. Tubbs and Edward (Road Men) - The League of Gentlemen
  4. Vicky Pollard (Swimming Pool) - Little Britain
  5. Four Candles - The Two Ronnies
  6. Going For An English - Goodness Gracious Me
  7. Acorn Antiques � Victoria Wood, As Seen On TV
  8. Breakfast - The Morecambe and Wise Show
  9. Ted and Ralph (Drinking Game) - The Fast Show
  10. Good Aids/Bad Aids - Brass Eye
