It's been MUCH requested! More Two Ronnies! We have not 1, not 2 but 3 SKETCHES for you! 2 Ronnie's: Mastermind, Racing Duck and Crossed Lines! Certainly British comedy at it's finest! These were so great and so well written! Thank you for suggesting them to us! We now call ducks pigeons and probably always will from this point on, haha! We hope this puts a smile on your face and a laugh in your heart. Let us know of these 3 sketches which is your favorite? If you enjoyed this Please Click the Like button. Thanks!!

[@rodneymackay2804]

So very glad you put this up, needed my fix of both of you, but also needed a laugh, and nothing better than intelligent comedy, and when it comes to Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett nothing can beat them, I honestly don't think there's a sketch they did in 12 seasons of their show that doesn't hit the mark. Thank You ✌

Ronnie Barker was a genius at writing these skits.

[@peterlenham3180]

The Two Ronnies are legendary. It's a pity that this kind of clever comedy writing cannot be achieved today.

[@snowysnowyriver]

Fun fact. Ronnie Barker, (the bigger of the two guys) wrote many of these sketches under the pen name of Gerald Wylie. No one on the show even knew it was him, only his agent knew. The game was up when everyone on the show insisted on meeting Gerald to thank him, and of course it turned out to be Ronnie Barker. The pairing of The Ronnies worked so well because of their unique set-up. Ronnie Barker was an actor who could do comedy. Ronnie Corbett was a comedian who could act. All the other double-acts in that golden age of comedy were made up of two comedians. The acting aspect gave the Two Ronnies something extra.

[@garyhiggins6718]

The only ones as good were Morecambe & Wise! Both lots could pretty much guarantee audiences over 25 000 000!

The Two Ronnies were just incredible, you should watch some of their musical numbers as well such as 'Jehosophat and Jones', 'Aldershot Brass Ensemble', 'Army Catering Corps' and 'Gilbert and Sullivan'. If you enjoyed the Mastermind sketch you should see the Morecambe and Wise Mastermind sketch. Just to correct you on something, the 11th of November is Armistice Day not Remembrance Day. Remembrance Day is the closest Sunday to Armistice Day. Btw Natasha, interesting point, your birthday is 2 days before King Charles' birthday.

[@abarratt8869]

I remember these sketches brand new, when I was a kid, and it's so nice to see other people watching and laughing at them for the first time. I feel that, these days here in the UK, the current generation is missing this; Two Ronnies were on at prime time on Saturday early evening, and pretty much every family would sit down and laugh. These days BBC puts up re-runs, yesterday's being an episode of Dad's Army. Fine vintage stuff indeed, but the trouble is that in most families, the parents have already seen this stuff several times over. The nice thing back in the old days was that episodes of, say, the Two Ronnies were new for everyone; watching it was a real family event to be looked forward to.

[@joycegibbs5267]

those days were the best. So sad we'll never have them back !

[@antonypalmer5804]

They still make me laugh. Thanks for playing this.

[@markcopsey4729]

You know the story that Ronnie Barker wrote a lot of these sketches, but he was so modest he sent the scripts to the BBC under false names.

[@t.a.k.palfrey3882]

Thanks. I'm pleased you enjoyed these old favourites. They were immensely popular during the 70s and 80s, both in the UK and in Australia. In the UK alone, their weekly series reached peak audiences of up to 19 million - which was then about 45 percent of all people having television. There were 12 series in all, plus lots of individual programmes, such as Christmas specials, totalling about 100 shows. Barker, in particular, did lots of other work, notably Open All Hours, and Porridge (both successful comedy series), but interestingly he had originally been a legitimate stage actor. He died in 2005, I think. Corbett died about five years ago. Both were awarded CBE by the late Queen, for their contributions to entertainment and for their charity work.

[@nottmjas]

Those CBEs should have been upgraded to KBEs before they died.

[@clinging54321]

If I remember correctly I think they made a couple of series in Australia as well.

[@shauntempley9757]

They were popular in NZ, but at the time, we had McPhail and Gadsby that were really important to NZ comedy. Very similar to the Two Ronnies, that both said were unique to them, and went places in their political sketches the Ronnies would not.

[@edbad85]

The guy who wrote the Mastermind sketch went on to create and write two UK institutions. Sitcom "One foot in the grave" in 1990 and comedy/drama "Jonathan Creek" in 1997 both of which he wrote every episode of completely on his own

[@julianhughes6511]

One of my favourite things about your show is how you sometimes remind me of the brilliant things we never see any more. The Two Ronnies were *THE* funniest act when I was growing up in the 70s and 80s and their old shows are *never* on the TV now. It's such a shame. It's also really interesting to see how their brilliant performances can be appreciated across time and distance. So much of it is so specifically British and local and of its time but the writing is so excellent that it carries enough context to still be funny. I love your show!

I'm reminded of the Two Ronnies show and the part were Corbett sits down to tell a story which has 10 levels of digressions. It used to drive me nuts trying to keep up with the story. Then at the end Barker would say "Well it's goodnight from me" then Corbett would say "and it's goodnight from him."

[@CaptainNemo1701]

Ronnie Barker used to submit sketches to the show under the pen name Gerald Wiley. He invented Gerald as a pseudonym to avoid prejudice in judging his writing, commissioning sketches because they were genuinely funny rather than just because he was the star of the show. The two big names other than Barker & Corbett of the 1970's were Morecambe & Wise and they parodied Mastermind too with the added bonus that the role of quiz master was played by the (then) real host of Mastermind, Magnus Magnusson.

The two Ronnies were amazing as were Morecombe and Wise did the “breakfast sketch” in 1976 still the best combination of visual gags set to music ever done

The 'cross your heart bra' quip and the British brand meat sauce 'OXO', you'll see it now. These guys were epic, on TV all around the British empire through the 70s and 80s.

I haven't heard the first sketch before it is particularly clever. The two Ronnies never disappoint.

My favourite was The Racing Duck, thanks for showing them

Victoria wood. Let’s do it is a great start, she took the Michael out of British housewife’s (the bored kind) in the 90s. Benny hill was a visual genius who went worldwide with his seaside inoffensive smutty humour. Both classics. Best wishes from the UK 😘

These guys were very clever, but the best work ronni barker ever did was a sitcom called “porridge”

[@stevious7278]

Greetings from the Land Downunder.. This brings back such happy times of watching The Two Ronnies on tv every week. It goes to show that comedy doesn't need swearing or being overtly crude in order to be funny; and these guys were masters. peace.

loved the video i love the racing duck one the two ronnies were two funny guys

[@januzzell8631]

I would definitely recommend some of their singing parodies too and Ronnie Barker's monologues were EPIC - so clever :D

[@TheoZoffrok]

Do you mean Ronnie *Corbett's* monologues??

[@januzzell8631]

@@TheoZoffrok No - I mean Ronnie B's monologues that he would do - not Ronnie C's ones in the chair

[@DRMEEKS]

Im so happy you are loving our best of comedy, these always make me laugh and I'm so pleased your loving it too. Best wishes.

Classic comedy from the past. Morecambe and Wise are also great and worth a watch.

Sometimes we saw Ronnie Corbett. ( the little one) driving in London in his Rolls Royce. He sat on cushions and could still barely see over the steering wheel. Thanks for showing that, we used to love watching them as a family.
