    Both ronnies were in "four candles" - it's just that that one was eariler in the series which lasted for several years. The "blackberry" sketch was after Ronnie Barker had died, and was with Ronnie Corbett and Harry Enfield, another comedian.

      My favourite Morecambe & Wise sketch is the "Morny Stannit" sketch. Eric is selling a paper, shouting "MORNY STANNIT" and Ernie corrects his speech saying "Morning Standard" the rest I will leave for you to find. You won't find it on RUclips.

    UK here: We used to get so-called "gob stoppers" in the bottom of our ice creams, but were just a small spherical chewing gum. We also used to get a hard rock "candy" (American term) made up of many different coloured layers, again a spherical shape and took up half of our mouth (we were young, 10 ish), those were what we called true gob stoppers.

    Suggestion - you should check out Rikki Fulton - Last Call ( /watch?v=EYcnKkBOcmI ), it was a parody of a Scottish religious program called "Late Call", which from the 60's to the 80's would present five minutes of religious thought late at night.
    From that one sketch, it spawned a whole character called the Rev I. M. Jolly, which us Scots would see on our screens around the time of the New Year (Hogmanay). Rikki Fulton was a sketch comedian who we looked forward to seeing every year, cos he was hillarious, and he's worth checking out.
    It might be one to keep till around the New Year.

    I remember buying 2 or 4 ounces of loose sweets when I was a kid. By the 1980s the glass sweet jars were being replaced by plastic versions. "Hundreds & Thousands" were popular, as you could make them last for ages. By eating them from the bag using a wet finger. Most small "newsagent" stores had shelves of sweet jars behind the counter, and penny sweets in trays under a glass counter. "Newsagents" stores main business was selling newspapers & magazines. cigarettes and sweets.

      I don't remember glass jars but the plastic jars and I absolutely loved getting 2 black jacks, mojos, or fruit and custard chewy sweets for ha'penny for 2. (0.5 pence in NEW 1971+ money). Old money meant you could get 960 of them for a quid, and post decimalisation we got 400 for a quid. Not that we ever saw a pound note as kids anyway.
      Otherwise we paid for sweets by weight and the shop girls would scoop them all and drop them on a scale so we got to pay per 1/4. I do miss the good old days.

    Ronny Barker was in the four candle sketch, as he actually wrote it. He was the customer that bought the four handle etc. He wrote most of the material in the whole series of programmes, & so starred in all of them until his death. He was also in the prison comedy 'Porridge', with Kate Beckinsale's dad.
    Another show he starred in was 'Open all Hours' as a corner shop keeper.

    this is how your boughts sweets back in the day, if you were crafty like us kids, and wanted 4oz of sweets, you bought 2 bags at 2oz's, because its hard to get the weight of 2oz, always goes bit over, bu getting 2 x 2oz, to make 4oz, your got more for you money, not alot, but everyl ittle helps

    Watch 'Open all Hours' and 'Porridge'. Both written and staring Ronnie Barker.

      Those series starred Ronnie Barker but he didn't write them: Open All Hours was written by Roy Clarke and Porridge was written by Dick Clement and Ian La Frenais.

    I used to work in a newsagents in the 1980s when the sweets were weighed out from large bottles like this, the favourite for the older generation was always mint imperials or herbal sweets, children always loved jelly babies, but its true some people would ask you to take out the colour they didn't like 😂

    Ronnie Barker ( The governor ) was the mentor to David Jason two comedy legends That had a friendship That lasted over 40 years And they're sketches are legendary Just like their friendship Kind of like father and son Passing on their skills I'm going to add a Heart warming link To another RUclips video ruclips.net/video/R5darr72Q8g/видео.html and ruclips.net/video/EISvw_qtO84/видео.html

    Ronnie Barker was a great character actor and could make himself look different in every sketch if he wanted to. You should also check out "Porridge"- Ronnie Barkers's prison based comedy, where he plays inmate Norman Stanley Fletcher. He looks very different again in that. It's one of the true classics of British comedy.

    Essential viewing after this sketch (if not already seen) by the same double act- "Mastermind sketch", "Water bar" and "racing duck"
