Shame this doesn't have more views. It certainly deserves them. I was raised on the Two Ronnies and seemingly no one in my generation knows them. Real shame.
it does now! Not nearly enough as it deserves, still, im glad to see this piece about
I’m American but I loved “Sorry “
I absolutely love them and it breaks my heart that my friends my age won’t laugh as I have at these two geniuses.
I’m 29 and my grandparents would watch them on VHS when I was younger. Glad to have discovered them that way.
Thank you for uploading this video to TH-cam. I enjoyed watching the Two Ronnies when I was a boy. I enjoyed their musical routines and this is one of my definite favourites. I've just discovered this video tonight (20/07/17) and I've seen it fifteen times already. It's that good! I'll certainly enjoy watching this sketch again, I can tell you!
Magnificent, they were so very clever and funny! Loved them to bits!❤❤❤❤❤❤👍💯🤗👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣😂🤣
Ooh how I miss this pair comedy genius 💙🇬🇧🏴
This was a personal favourite of my "end of show musicals" - although picking a fave 2 Ronnies segment reminds me of the old saying "all beer's good but some's better than others."
This is reet proper grand!
"Ee what a band are the Rochdale Ringers!
Ee what a marvellous sound!
Reet proper grand are the Rochdale Ringers,
Best for miles around!
We played Bach at the old folks' suppers,
Strauß at the Aldermen's Ball.
But, oh, what a twist
When we all got Mozart
Playing the Temperance Hall!"
The little story about the knocker-upper is the best bit, though:
"Knock us up, knock us up,
When you're out on a spree.
Knock us up, knock us up,
And the maiden you see
Lying flat on her back,
Knock us up - let her be!"
This is great! I don't recall seeing this on when they were originally broadcast!
Brilliant x
So funny I loved the 2 Ronnies
Jed Martin y
Royston Bills cuz they were funny

He name is Yvonne Gallagher
@@MrZOMBIE170 Cheers.

Eeee bah gum, well ah`ll go to our `ouse!!
Nice to see the Scout emblem at 1.04 :)
The Two Ronnies make being in musicals look so easy.
It's an old-fashioned concept that I think they used to call "talent"...
And there are NO clangers in ALL the bells
The big girl you are noticing is the great lee Richards.4
I always enjoyed Morecambe and Wise, but the Two Ronnies on BBC2 were much cleverer, I always thought as a kid. I was never a fan of the armchair monologue but put up with it because the big musical number always followed ...and those were always witty, clever, nicely pergormed and hugely funny.
Used to watch them with my dad. Great times.
The rather chesty & rather pretty lady in this brilliant sketch is also in The 2 Ronnies Seaside Songs sketch.
That chest obviously opened doors for her!!
Pollitical correctness to blame i suspect!
Not a single bell has a clapper....
I think the people in the back were professional ringers, they seemed to be following a score. The two ronnies were doing fake bells tho. :-D
😂😂
They pre-recorded the music professionally in a sound studio. Then when they came to perform it in front of live audience, they muted the performers instruments who then mimed to the backing tape. Often the only "live" sound was the two Ronnies singing the song.
They don't say reet in rochdale. That's yorkshire.
Healthy gel in't she?
Her name is Yvonne Gallagher
Clappers all removed, and Bell sounds dubbed on - safest way
I am from Shaw and was a Rochdale bus conductor for years! where do the Buses come in now, if they have opened up the River?
Ian Winterbottom The new bus station is opposite where it was, they drive in there.
@acesiren I believe that the 8th series was broadcast in the 1980's
Anyone know a website were I can find the words?
Complete text under post by sachseco (S in green disc) above.
IF ANYONE KNOWS THE LYRICS TO THIS HYSTERICAL SONG, PLEASE PUBLISH. WOULD LOVE TO KNOW WHAT ALL THE WORDS ARE ABOUT, THANKS!
😅Ee what a band are the Rochdale Ringers
Ee what a marvellous sound
Reet proper grand are the Rochdale Ringers
Best for miles around
We give 'em Bach at the old folks' suppers
Strauss at the Aldermens' Ball
But oh what a twist when we all got Mozart
Playing the Temperance Hall
There's Mr Holden, his tone is golden
His bell's a whopper, and made of copper
Goes white with anger, when he drops a clanger
On Friday night at the Temperance Hall
Ee what a band are the Rochdale Ringers
Ee but we're champion type
Reet proper grand are the Rochdale Ringers
All black pudding and tripe
We ring the change with the bobs and triples
Up on the clarion call
But we had trouble so we downed two doubles
Playing the Temperance Hall
Thursday night we joined the local Philharmonic
Have a Ring that's quite Teutonic
They play Wagner
They play chronic
After that we're off to do a small Masonic
With a little gin and tonic sol fa
We're keen on Handel, and Elsie Randall
We play Messiah, I play with fire
She likes Elijah, and I'll oblige 'er
On Friday night at the Temperance Hall
Tingaling, tingaling, we've bells on the brain
And we can't sleep a wink for the tinkly refrain
Then we get a ratatat on the old window pane
It's our local knocker-upper Billy Hardwick
Half asleep, in a heap, in your vest and your socks
Nearly eight, don't be late, ratatat Billy knocks
Guess who'll get a thick ear for his next Christmas box
It's our local knocker-upper Billy Hardwick
Though he was a bandy chap, his little handicap,
Didn't stop his larks, with the lasses in the parks
He was so passionate, he couldn't ration it
They called him willy nilly Billy Hardwick
Now he had a happy life, not so his little wife
She took it very bad and got very very mad
She grabbed a carving knife, cut off his social life
Silly bIlly nilly willy Hardwick
Knock us up, knock us up, when you're out on a spree
Knock us up, knock us up, and a maiden you see
Lying flat on her back, knockers up, let her be
That's the moral of the tale of Billy Hardwick
We play far from Rochdale on civic occasions
We're going to Oldham on Saturday night
We ring for the mayors and the big corporations
We're going to Oldham on Saturday night
The Lady Mayoress there, is known as Big Bess there
The front of her dress there, is bulging and tight
We'll have a right gala, in Bessie's front parlour
Cause we're going to 'old 'em on Saturday night
Ringers born and bred, Higginbottom Ted
Higginbottom Sam and Higginbottom Fred
Higginbottom Jim who is slightly dim
When he's up the spout
Sidebottom Ted with a big bass clef
And Obadaiah Dutton, who's a little Mutt and Jeff
With t'Bottom Dan, he's a colster man
And they're all clapped out
There is poor old Eli, getting in a twitter
For he's had a lot of bitter for a Friday night
And he lifts his bell his brow begins to wrinkle
When he has a little tinkle and he's quite alright
So we ring them in and we ring them out
And we do the hokey-cokey and we shake 'em all about
There's a note or two, doesn't quite ring true
And we say by 'eck
Is it Arthur Twist with his limp right wrist
He's a real damp, high camp, campanologist
If it's Harold Boyes, you can shut that noise
Or we'll wring his neck
Alderman Toothill, living in Bootle, got three things with graft and skill
Management class, and plenty of brass, and a lass in trouble off her pill
Now he's defunct, his widow has plunked, a statue of him gaunt and grim
And what he did to other people, corporation pigeons do on 'im
Ee what a band are the Rochdale Ringers
Ee but we're nimble and spry
Reet proper grand are the Rochdale Ringers
Ding dong merrily high
Tight as a newt at the Fur and Feather
We play the thingy from Saul
Smart and dapper with a well-oiled clapper
Playing the Temperance Hall
Smart and dapper with a well-oiled clapper
Playing the Temperance Hall
(*** For non-Brits, Mozart [and Liszt] is rhyming slang for pissed [drunk]; tight as a newt [drunk];
Mutt and Jeff is rhyming slang for deaf; Fur and Feather is a pub name; 'bobs and triples' are
genuine bell ringing terms; a knocker-upper was a real job - a human alarm clock that tapped on
windows with a long cane to get factory workers up for early shifts; knockers - slang for womens'
breasts; willy - slang for vital part of masculine anatomy; silly billy = term for foolish).
@@chrisnorton4382 can't fault you except for its mutton Jeff not mutt and Jeff for deaf other than that everything is grand.
@@josephdolman - it's really Mutt 'n' Jeff from old comic characters, shortened sometimes to mutton, google it.
@@chrisnorton4382 ok sorry my mistake.
@@chrisnorton4382Many thanks. That's a very long text, and it goes by fast.
Omg
They did a sketch a two navy girls,it was removed anyone know which series it was please ?.Thanks
Mike Harding? Long live Jo Cox.
What is the name of the tune parodied around 3:12 ? I've heard it in several places but can't place the original
James Baker it’s a Welsh song called Llwyn Onn ( Ash Grove) 😀
@@Mspig1965 Thanks
What is the overall tune called ?
@Mark Bond there are a few of them, the first/main tune being the two-step march Whistling Rufus. I've been trying to get details of the rest (The Ash Grove excepted)
Excuse me... there are no Muslims or vegans in this video, so I think it should be taken down. English culture offends me.
Bill Holland oh fuck off with your reactionary nonsense
Oh Bill, that’s a bad take.
You can’t beat our comedy, especially the sarcasm!
How do you know that there are no vegans?
Get al
Another great sketch by the genius two Ronnie's,I tried to watch another couple of sketches but these were blocked,typical BBC throwing a wobbly.
If I had my way like I suspect millions of others I'd shove their licence fee up their fucking arses,
Like they don't rob us enough as it is showing crap TV programs without the choice to opt out.
Sorry for moaning but if they had decent comedy like this I wouldn't mind.
Mr barker,Mr Corbett,you were and still are the greatest.
astront917 quite right.we pay the fee and they block the sailor gals musical set.what right have they?
Two many snowflakes controlling media now that's why!
Gregory peck at 1.04.?
When I was a kid this was sat tv 📺 what a brilliant night rip 🙏
@Martino567 it was Ronnie Barker who wrote them
The woman's name is Yvonne Gallagher
Is that yvonne gallagher from the jui jitsu sketch . lovely eyes.
Good collection good to remember .thanks
just orsom . ronnie barker was a orsom writer and a brilliant comedian actor same as ronnie corbet. all the best and take care from Australia.👍
This was not easy to do...
I remember this well, it really seems to have stuck in people's mind for some reason!
Only just realised the melody is a MUCH older song probably well known to older generations back then called "whistling rufus".
th-cam.com/video/rXaaWHaWHts/w-d-xo.html
wonderful thank you ☺️
I don't know who wrote their song sketches, But they're all very funny
Martinio567 I believe they wrote their own material. Comedy gold.
Brett II XXI IV IV, they wrote some of it, but they had a lot of writers supplying material.
@@petertaylor4980 In addition to the many writers, the vocal arrangements were by Fred Tomlinson, who appears in this as "Mr Holden". He and his group, the Fred Tomlinson Singers, worked extensively with the Two Ronnies, and before that Monty Python (he most famously wrote the music for the "Lumberjack Song").
This was on in the 1970's ish.
More like late 80s
@@maddog7139 It was in fact broadcast on 29 November 1980.
I couldn't get into "The Two Ronnies" but this skit was memorable.
Uncultured swine!
Pure comedic genius, never to be seen again, sadly
