Ed Bishop - the storyteller in the Pinocchio sketch - was a regular American voice on British TV for many years and was the voice of Captain Blue in Gerry Anderson's 'Captain Scarlet and the Mysterons' back in the 60s and Commander Ed Straker in his first live action series UFO.

The two Ronnies Christmas shows were really special. They always remind me of my father who especially loved the clever word joke sketches. I miss them all.

Happy, silly stuff. We used to watch it every week when I was a kid.

I missed this special at the time because I was working abroad. It was their last show after a 16 year run. It is hard to realise now, how big their Christmas Specials were when they were on peak form.

NAME DROPPERS is their cleverest sketch in my opinion. Barker's writing at its best. Enjoy!

That was the same format as their average Saturday night show. The intro, sketches, the chair monologue, a musical number, the news headlines to conclude. Some of the characters, like the two rustic's or the two in the pub made repeated appearances. Bill and Ben , the flower pot men, we're a couple of characters from kids TV, who were very well known.

Tina Charles was series 1... Barbara Dickson had two non-consecutive series later on in their run... The Christmas specials could run a gambit of guest singers... I think Tony Orlando and Yawn were either series 5 or 6... One singer per series and the songs were usually the first to be recorded...and imagine doing a series of songs in just one day not knowing which order they'll be in either... They all happened after the chair monologues...

This was their last Christmas special. Ronnie Barker "retired" immediately afterwards.

The very last episode of ‘The Two Ronnies’ as Ronnie Barker had decided to retire after this, feeling that he had accomplished all that he wanted to do as an actor.

How much clout did they have? Alfred Marks, Frank Finlay and Charlton Heston to name but three guests! Those were the days, sigh.

Charlton Heston took one of Ronnie B's hats in lieu of a salary so they could fit Elton John in under the budget...

Thanks for reminding me how DREADFUL this show was. Awful aged comedy. Was their anything vaguely funny??
