      Yes, the Mastermind sketch is very clever in the same line - the timing is excellent! It's my personal favourite, though Crossed Lines comes close... so do a lot of Ronnies' sketches, actually.

    I’m a big fan fan of the Two Ronnies. I remember watching these shows with my Mum and Dad on Saturday evenings! Great family entertainment! Ronnie Barker was the absolute master of wordplay. He wrote many of the sketches including “Four Candles”. I would recommend the mispronunciation sketch with Ronnie Barker. Both of them had excellent timing and delivery.

    Absolute comedy gold! These guys were the true geniuses of their time. Their humour was so simple and unique yet absolutely hilarious. I love watching your reactions Amanda. I don't know if it's just me but I always find watching other people laugh very therapeutic.
    You've done two of their biggest sketches but if you want to complete the "triple crown" of the Two Ronnies then you need to watch their Mastermind routine. It's my personal favourite of theirs and probably my favourite comedy sketch ever.

    Yet another example of Ronnie Barker genius that is only enhanced by a master class Ronnie Corbett performance. I still say Ronnie Corbett is the star performer of the Four Candles sketch, he doesn't get enough credit.

    The Two Ronnies were hugely popular in the UK in their day and that's an understatement.
    Ronnie Barker is quite the genius. He wrote a lot of these sketches, some under a false name so the management didn't know it was him.
    Keep watching more because they'll never disappoint.

    • @slharbron
      @slharbron 2 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      He wrote the sketches under a variety of pen names, so that they would be accepted due to the writing and just not because it was him.
      One of the staff admitted much later on that they could easily spot his submissions, simply due to the quality.

    I am glad you did this its a great sketch and often gets overlooked. My favourite 2 Ronnies has to be the one where Ronnie barker is ordering drinks at the bar for a group but he is bookending the round and subsequently getting drunker and drunker and the original order gets more obscured every time as he gets drunker, its an hilarious sketch but I seem to be the only now that remembers it.

      I remember it but the reason it may be forgotten by many is that it seldom gets shown these days as involves alcohol abuse. The PC brigade kill everything. The same with ' 'Till Death us do Part' the series', it ran for a few years, will never be aired again as is considered very racist possibly even illegal today. Even finding clips online is difficult. Alf Garnett, played by Warren Mitchell was the stereotypical East End 'old git' of the time. Some great actors in it as well, Oona Stubbs and Anthony Booth, Cherrie Booth's (Mrs. Tony Blair) father. I forget the name of the actress who played 'you silly Cow', Alf's downtrodden wife, Elsie.

    Many moons ago I went to a show at the Lakeside venue centre. The main act was Ronnie Corbett. I much preferred Ronnie Barker mainly from his excellent TV series. I found myself after his act at the bar with a mate, waiting to be served. After a couple of minutes Corbett appeared at the bar, took a seat and offered us at the bar a drink. Naturally we accepted, and then I can say I had the most memorable half an hour of my life. Corbett really was a superb guy, damned funny and a real sport.
    After that half an hour, my whole perception of Corbett changed and I enjoyed the comedy magic of them two together even more.

      After Ronnie Barker retired from comedy he opened an Antiques Shop. (This is true, not a joke story). He was suspected of defrauding customers so a national newspaper set up a sting where they hired a naive-looking young lady to take in a silver plate for evaluation by Barker. The silver plate was independently valued at £300. The young lady offered it for sale to Barker and he said it was worth £40 and it was a good offer and the lady wouldn't get a better price anywhere else.
      The newspaper published the story and very, very shortly after Ronnie Barker decided to retire from the Antiques business.

    I think it was pretty recently that they showed the different takes they did on these sketches for the first time ever, they showed how most of the time they got the jokes spot on and other times Ronnie Corbett would fluff a line up slightly (like on the Four Candles sketch) and they would do it again from the last decent take. Although with clever editing you can't really tell that they did several takes. It's quite interesting that Ronnie Barker would keep the audience amused whilst the floor manager showed the script to Ronnie Corbett.

    Absolutely brilliant. My favourite sketch is when they done Mastermind. Ronnie C’s subject was answering with the answer to the question before. Hilarious.

    I have loved the Two Ronnies since I was a child. Four Candles is still my favourite but Round of Drinks is also very funny. They are so good the list of funny sketches would be never ending.

    Hi Amanda - Not sure if you have come across the BBC quiz Mastermind since you have been in the UK, but the Two Ronnies did their version of it, where each answer that was given by Corbett (who played the contestant) to Barker (who played the host,) was the answer to the previous question and like the cross wires sketch you have just watched, it was so clever and the timing was central to the sketch - watch this one some time if you can!

    My favourite part of "The Two Ronnies" was "And Now The News". E.g. "A boat with a load of blue paint has collided with a boat carrying red paint in the North Sea. The sailors have been marooned." OR "A lorry carrying a load of treacle has overturned on the M1. Motorist are asked to stick to the inside lane." It is said that at Ronnie Barkers' funeral his casket was surrounded by 4 fork handles.

    Without going through the comments Amanda, I'm sure people have recommended The Two Ronnies' Mastermind sketch as well. Perfect timing on that one too, and absolutely beautiful between them both. I used to love watching their shows when I was young with my parents, and still watch old repeats of them to this day, best comedy duo ever in my opinion.

    They often had sketches or skits that weren't just funny, but left you stunned and impressed. It's not the subject matter of course - no clever social insights and so on (which are nice too) - it's the amazing craft in both the writing and delivery. They are both great at comedy, but Ronnie Barker (the taller Ronnie) was also an amazing performer of different characters. Whether in sketches, or full performances in sitcoms.
