Every Christmas now I have a load of comedies such as this one, and countless others from 60's 70's 80's on DVD which I watch instead of current TV. I basically pretend it's the past and really rather enjoy it!

I do the same but all year as TV today doesn’t have the same class or quality as shows of yesteryear. We don’t have comedy’s like this or entertainers presenting shows either. It’s seems as longs a face fits and can do a job like your told then you’ll be on TV. Nothing naturally written by great men like these two Ronnies any more. Shame and a sad sign for human race as most couldn’t understand anything like this as it’s too complicated to understand. They class Tik Toc and being glued to games consoles as entertainment. It’s all down hill from here.

I watched this when it originally went out as "Christmas Night with the Two Ronnies", the centrepiece of the Beeb's Christmas Day schedule. The last series had ended in early 1986 and it was known at the time that this show would be the duo's last. Watching it 35 years later, you can see how the BBC of old could pull out all the stops and make something very special for the whole family.

What a classic. I remember watching them as a young teen. As a young adult I remember borrowing the cassette from the local country library (yes that long ago) and listening to it. The real magic of the two ronnies is that the word pictures came alive - no visual effects needed, you could visualise everything and if you'd only saw the show once you could insert the vocal format. That's how good they actually were.

In America, Monty Python is very well known and popular, Benny Hill, Are You Being Served, and Last of the Summer Wine are also. But some great British comedies aren't well known, unfortunate as they are great as well, such as 2 Ronnies, Dave Allen at Large, and No, Honestly! ! And of course 2 of the greatest American comedies are based on British shows: Sanford and Son (from Steptoe and Son) and the Greatest tv show of All Time - All in the Family (based on Til Death Do Us Part) !
@PatrickFDolan Жыл бұрын
Nonsense. You are giving your subjective opinion. 99.9 percent of Americans have never heard or seen AYBS or Last of the summer wine. Benny Hill had a smattering of fans on late night or early morning tv for a short while. Monty Python was a cult following in the 70s and is known only by some Baby Boomers now. AYBS, etc were a small following and only broadcast late night a few times weekly on state PBS. I know because I had to sneak out of bed at midnight to watch Benny Hill. None of these were ever broadcast on regular television that I'm aware of. Sanford And Son is definitely not considered a great sitcom and All in the family is not considered the greatest sitcom of all time by the rankings.
@michaeldavis20395 ай бұрын
Mind you, in the last 20 years, depending on your local PBS channel, some of these classic British comedies have been broadcast on Saturday night prime time in a two-hour schedule called "Saturday Night Britcoms" from 7pm - 9pm in half-hour segments. In the past their selections included AYBS, Yes Minister as well as Yes Prime Minister, Keeping Up Appearances, As Time Goes By, Last of the Summer Wine, Mr. Bean and The Vicar of Dibley. I watch them every Saturday night on my local PBS channel here in South Florida. They need to bring more of these classics including the Two Ronnies and Open All Hours into the mix.
