'Hardware' shops like this were very common when I was a boy back in the 60s. The owners invariably wore brown dustcoats and could unerringly put their hand on whatever obscure item was demanded. They always had a characteristic smell combining paraffin (ie kerosene), sawdust and a faint underlying hint of hot metal. I remember being sent to the shop at the end of the road with a paraffin can to be filled and a shopping list of 6 bamboo canes, 3 yards of chicken wire, half a pound of 2" nails and a bag of lime (to treat the overly acidic soil). You could literally walk in a buy a single nail if that's all you needed. Sadly, these Aladdin's caves were pretty much wiped out by the chains of massive soulless DIY stores that swept across the country in the 70s.
Hehehe it was me who suggested this one- by the looks of your views it’s as popular as I thought it would be! British humour at its best, this show was also hugely popular here in Australia. Glad you enjoyed it!
I'm so glad you let the video run without interruptions like some other people do who post reacting videos. They often talk over the video and interrupt the flow. It was much more enjoyable this way.
The Sweet Shop, Confusing Library, Insurance against being Jewish, The Encyclopaedia Salesman, all well worth a watch. And of course My Blackberry isn't working.
@@TheReactingMan Also add to your list their skits entitled: ‘Swear Jar’. ‘Ponting Punting’ and ‘The Strange Case Of Mrs. Mace’ - you won’t be disappointed! 👍
No matter how often you see this sketch, and I've seen it many times, it is always funny. For another brilliant piece of comedy try Andre Previn's appearance on the Morcambe and Wise show.
Just discovered your channel and am loving the respect you show the programe you're watching. Especially my favourite The two Ronnie's. Deserves a follow and subscription. ✌️❤️🇮🇪
This particular clip is from the series in 2004 where they reunited to look back at old clips. Hence them being quite a bit older than the sketches. Ronnie Barker hadn't been well and he sadly died some months after. Ronnie Corbett continued to work and feature on various shows including a special called The One Ronnie where he collaborated with other comedians in various sketches. Check out the Blackberry sketch he does with Harry Enfield. Ronnie C left us in 2016. I was fortunate to be in the audience for a couple of these lookback shows in 2004 and met them both which was a very special moment.
They show them at Christmas on BBC and I always cry when I see Ronnie Barker. I know we all get old but it really is heartbreaking to see them together for what we know is the final time. I love Ronnie Barker so much my Whippit is called Ronnie Barker. Full name even outside in public 😅😅 ✌️❤️🇮🇪
How interesting. I've seen that sketch loads of times and always thought the ending was a let-down. Never seen the extra segment with Ronnie Barker and the 'knockers' joke before.
@@TheReactingMan Bobby is the funny guy Tommy Cannon is the straight guy and singer, they both sing but Bobby ads his own twist. (No singing in down the pub, singing is in the TV show)
Hi Guys
Thanks for watching
here is the clip I watched th-cam.com/video/gi_6SaqVQSw/w-d-xo.html
I remember this cause my health & safety tutor had got us to watch this, to understand the importance of communication.
I could see that
Brilliant piece of writing, delivered with immaculate timing and deadpan expressions

Never gets old!
This is sketch is so famous in the UK that there is actually a pub in Oxford, England called "The Four Candles"
thats cool
Ronnie Corbett made the sketch with his reactions. Chuntering to himself, together with the looks he gives Ronnie Barker, are inspired.

I try to avoid that as much as possible
Brilliant reaction to this video, I’m so glad that you let the video play to the end.
Thanks
Ya I find that very annoying and I try to avoid it as much as possible
The joy of the English language! That's why it's one of the most difficult to learn.
I saw this on TV when I was a kid, howling with laughter,still brilliant
The Two Ronnies best-known & best-loved sketch. Their other great sketches include Mastermind & Crossed Lines.
Thanks
I will look for them

Nicely Done You! These old sketches are not always understood these days 🤗 Thanks for sharing 👍
Thanks I'm glad you liked it
It's brilliant

@@williamronneywilliams2639 I've come across a few videos named down in the pub

so I'm not sure which one to watch

Enjoy
Definitely check out Mastermind, Crossed Lines and Boring accountant.
Well done mate.

Pumps are 'sneakers'.

I thought the were women's shows
@@TheReactingMan we also used to call them plimsolls. Pumps or plimsolls were what you wore at school to do sports.
