Finally someone uploads this! my grandfather played pipes and was in this sketch, Thank you so much!

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

Wow! Good on you! 😊 it must have been great to be a part of such wonderful shows. There's a sort of innocence about it all compared to todays stuff.

[@bobthejedi]

@@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794 he was very proud of it, often spoke of it, how the two ronnies got lucky enough to work with him.

My grandad, my dad and two of my uncles are in the pipe band.

[@gordontaylor5373]

Wow! Bet they enjoyed this!

[@bluenose7966]

@@gordontaylor5373 My dad, playing the bass drum, couldn't make the rehearsals cos he had to work, so my other (third) uncle stepped in. :-) They did quite a lot of TV/film work, including WWF Summer Slam at Wembley Arena (1991/1992) with Rowdy Roddy Piper. The movie King Ralph with John Goodman, playing on the runway when his plane landed, but the scene was cut cos actor Richard Griffiths couldn't get out the limo in one swift motion. My grandad (Drum Major) and Willie Cochrane (Pipe Major) appeared on Are You Being Served, the episode where it was Mr Grace's birthday, and the staff found out he was Scottish. And my Grandad, my uncle David, and Willie Cochrane (along with family friend Steve Ramus) were in Gary Moore's Over The Hills and Far Away music video. The whole band did loads of TV ads across Europe in the 80s and 90s too, They always went under the name The Balmoral Highlanders for TV work.

These was really good

[@JongleurJ10]

They must have been so quick at learning lines or tunes where delivery has to be spot on. They've made loads of these sketches, some musical and some spoken.

Really wish there was subtitles to all their songs - brilliant

Yes, he was. He was a native of Edinburgh. God bless and sleep tight wee Ronnie.

[@highwindsclarke2685]

The Two Ronnies are much missed. I have the complete collection on DVD.

[@whovianhistorybuff]

They must have done another bagpiper sketch as i can distinctly remember a sketch of them singing Scotland the brave in full Scots regalia but it isn't here.

[@gracebird6746]

I remember when this was done. Jimmy apologized to me that I want invited to be a part of it because they specified that they didn't want any female band members.

[@zerotoleranceforsataniceli4794]

can you explain a bit more please?

[@maxinejacobson4006]

3 Oh where, oh where has my highland laddie gone. 4 Ball of Kirriemuir. 5 Scottish Soldier.

[@JongleurJ10]

Learning all that and doing it in a Scottish accent! I wonder if they learnt lines super fast or had to rehearse long and hard.

[@kevinmarr2239]

Ronnie C was Scottish, so easier for him

[@dannyheaney]

Bloody good.

[@27Bluebottle]

Song one - to the tune of "Amazing Grace". Song 2 - to the tune of "Loch Lomond". Song 3 to the tune of "???". Song 4 to the tune of "???". Song 5 to the tune of "???". Its driving me mad trying to work out the names of those 3 tunes.

Ronnie Corbett was threatened in the races by a 6 feet 3 geezer, so Ronnie had to do the High Jump. Dingwall Academy he must have gone there too Kevin Henderson Teandalloch Cottage By Beauly Inverness-Shire

[@annc7739]

Besides singing, like from 0:22 to 1:01, did Barker and Corbett also play the bagpipes or were they only pretending to play the bagpipes but solely rely on the bagpipe players in the background to play their instruments?

[@piobaire24]

Neither actually play the pipes...just pretending.

[@Merip1214]

And they manage to sing in an accent too!

[@ladywalker8200]

​@Merip1214 well Little Ronnie Corbett was Scottish !!

[@hellfirepictures]

Anyone know where I can find the script for this? The laughter and volume of the band makes it difficult to hear some parts...

[@dennislawther1414]

The volume of the band is down to the sound engineers, the band was recorded before the performance, or we (that's me second from the left in the rear rank) would have drowned out the singing; the bagpipe is not an indoor instrument!

[@C21L01]

@@dennislawther1414 That’s True. One Christmas many years ago we used to have a lone piper from a local pipe and drums association came to our local shopping centre to play Christmas Carols. He stood by the main entrance outside but you could hear him all over the centre. He was good but it was loud. 😳

[@ruadhagainagaidheal9398]

It’s a lowland accent, but even as a highland boy I can understand most of it.

[@jourwalis-8875]

To bad picture quality here. Only 240p. Otherwise very funny!

[@colingibson8018]

This is such a clever put together skit ruined by the excessively loud canned laughter​. Typically the trade mark of the television industry. They get good programs and screw it up.

[@tnecklover]

I think that's the audience actually laughing.

In them days It was filmed with a real audience watching
