The Two Ronnies - Tootin' Carmen

[@maudeboggins9834]

So clever. I cannot do this wonderful clip justice. I do not have enough words to flatter. Simply genius is the best I can do.

[@telemachus53]

Incredible, amazing, unbelievable, all the superlatives possible. They just don't make anything now even remotely resembling the sublime fun and talents of R. and R. And Carmen was fantastic!

[@hilaryepstein6013]

RIP Dilys Watling who was so good in this (she sadly died 10.8.21). Just love this sketch. The Two Ronnies were so clever and whoever put those words to the music was a genius.

I had the pleasure of meeting her delightful sister Deborah at a couple of Doctor Who conventions.

Where has this sketch been hiding. Superb as always.

Good to see one Ronnie keeping abreast of things while the other has to take it lying down. Incomparable pair.

[@MaskedMan66]

Miss Watling certainly has! Mark you, her half-sister Deborah was no slouch in that department either!

[@jacquikalich3873]

Their timing was phenomenal.

Oh brava ladies n gents!!! Bizet would be proud!!

[@avuncular300]

Such great invention, as always. But who was the irrepressible Carmen ? She was so good....

[@chrisnorton4382]

Dilys Watling. She had received a Tony nomination for her one and only Broadway musical.

[@R.a.t.t.y]

Watch your language. She’s spoken for.

Never seen this before, it's brilliant. . Who wrote this?

[@roscolockley1069]

Almost certainly Gerald Wiley (Ronnie Barker)

[@steveo7165]

@@roscolockley1069 Ronnie B/ Gerald was amazing at twisting the English language into quality humour 😊

[@MaskedMan66]

That's Tooting Carmen, a play on the name Tooting Common, which is a place in southwest London.

[@bobdownes162]

You sure? More likeTutenkhamun I beleive.

[@MaskedMan66]

+Bob Downes Absolutely positive, though they do a triple play on words at 5:18 when Ronnie Corbett sings, "I intend to make Tooting Carmen a mummy."

[@fannycraddock99]

Who is the girl please?

[@himdel]

Looks like Dilys Watling ( www.imdb.com/name/nm0914450/reference )

[@fannycraddock99]

Yes I think that's her, thanks. Really enjoyed this clip.
