This great sketch is a take off from Coronation Street. The sketch is from the BBC series The Two Ronnies S02E01. In memory of the late, great Ronnie Barker.
So many different tunes and lines to remember. Ingenious!When all this was shown for the first time, I never thought that what we had then wouldn't exist now. Nothing to compare now!Still miss them!
Am assuming that you and the Postie were trained dancers. Probably show girls such as the Tiller Girls, those high kicks would be part of their routine.
Interesting fact. Watch the video and you'll see only 3 camera changes. Originally the video was shot in one take, however the feather boa that Ronnie Corbett is wearing made him cough when he turned his head to collect the banjo from the stage hand. This is why the camera changes (allowing for two takes to be spliced together) to show "Corbett" playing a "solo" at 4:25
Ronnie Corbett was channelling Minnie Caldwell, and the third one of the trio in the Snug was Martha Longhurst - but the scriptwriters had killed her off by then.
Rest in peace, both of them
Burst out laughing when the camera panned over to Ena Sharples and Minnie Caldwell. Brilliant stuff. 😂
Their timing is impeccable!

Their timing was stunning, especially the musical numbers.
They brought so much laughter and joy
May they rest in peace and rise in glory. Amen
Immortalised humour.Transcends time oh Lord.
Oh, my goodness - they were so funny - and so clever! Wish they were still going strong!
I was the milkie!!! Haven't seen this for years...great memories n lots of laughs.
You look gorgeous there dear, mmm. Bet you still are as lovely.

Thank goodness for TH-cam. I became a fan of the Two Ronnie's ☺️✨ Mvto from Oklahoma
Brilliant in every way.
The two Ronnies Moira a ndken
Moira and Ken
What great fun, looked forward to every show, both sadly missed
The icing on the cake is them including the jingle for Granada TV Rental.
Another classic from a pair of pure geniuses. Thanks for posting :)
HAHAHA Dear me, I haven't laughed so much in years! I don't remember ever seeing this one before either, so its a real treat. Thanks.
"Well his planning went astray, she's in the family way" :)
Miss them so much. There has never been anyone else like them.
pure genius
Loved the glittering hairnet!
Corbett did a very convincing lady impersonation.:):)
I think he looks like queen Elizabeth in this sketch.
The postie and milkman were gorgeous, lol.
Ronnie Barker hated dressing as a woman but this is definitely his funniest moment in drag.
Such clever lyrics.
, this reminds me of my mom she loved the two ronnies and coronation street, that is why i know who they are talking about the skit was fantastic
Ena and Minnie! Them was the days1
Complete pros , never to be seen again
Better than anything on offer today. Sadly I don't think we will see their like again.
Haven't seen this one before. It's marvellous.
Absolutely brilliant!!!
Marvellous comedians!⚜💝⚜👏
Just classic rip both of them.
Timeless entertainment.
Oh for those days when we actually enjoyed talent on the T.V.
You still can, there is plenty of it around these days. It is just different from back then.
Albert's stick of Blackpool rock?!

He played the other banjo in the solo.
As Corbett plays the solo, they've changed banjo's
Anyone else notice how like Mrs Slocombe Ronny looks side profile?
Corbett reminds me of kathleen harrison ,
The Two Ronnies - S04E02 - Episode 2 (9 January 1975)
You will never see the like of them again.😉 s.b.
Problem is, if you laugh you miss the next line!
You just have to watch it again and again😁😁😁.
You get the same problem with Dave Allen.
LOL. Brilliant!

yeah 1964
Sorely missed comedy giants............. are there any left?
LMAO. Love these guys.
Amazing....Jim White
She'll need it for her.. ..ticket! Lol
Great 😃😂😂
And to think we may not have had them if not for the BBC
Genius.
Genuine City Varieties!!
ena Sharples and Hilda Ogden! Nows theres a memory that I never thought I`d see again! But what was Ena`s sidekick called?
Minnie caldwall
I think the other lady was supposed to be Minnie Caldwell seeing as they were gossiping about Hilda
@Cool2BCeltic LOL I know little of Stanley Baker, but I've seen Kenny Everett, and yeah, he was mad enough to do anything!
Brilliant thd lyrics so clever lol
Comic geniuses both of them.
Wonder who the blond milk women was she provided many times 🤣🤣
The Coronation Street connection is comparatively thin: it would be more correct to say that this sketch is a takeoff of the late great George Formby!
@Cool2BCeltic Really? It's amazing how often he did it, then.
Superb .. much missed humour
Who voiced George's intro?
Sounds like the late great Alan Randall.
It could have been Ronnie Barker himself. I remember seeing him do Formby in another sketch
@Cool2BCeltic I'd need more incentive. :-)
I think Mrs Brown's boys was somewhat based off this.
I haven't a clue why you could possibly think that!
@MaskedMan66 So would I. But it's fair to say that Kenny Everett and Stanley Baxter would have done it for nothing.
@MaskedMan66 He got paid to do it.
How sad to hear this, when you finally realise that most comedians today are utterly crap!
A take-off of a famous BBC TV show and 1950s entertainer George Formby.
