As a staunch admirer of David Suchet as the quintessential Poirot (I'm from Belgium myself) I think Ronnie Barker pulled it off quite admirably and Ronnie Corbett is hilarious as always. Nice surprise the see the Bucket woman is also involved...Dame Routhledge is excellent in portraying these posh women... I enjoyed this immensely... thanks for posting this gem of true British comedy...... Sure didn't see that end coming.....the two conspiring to get rid of her...Genius!
The good old treading on the Garden rake gag Always gets me, even at 47yrs of age, is still crack up, especially when it's part of a combination of gags as this is, first the Champaign cork gag, always works when someone thinks they're gonna be murdered in a Comedy sketch, then the falling in to the fountain thinking he's been shot, then the fountain stream gag, then the garden rake gag to finish that sequence off, it's Genius.
They had great timing when performing physical comedy-demonstrated best, IMO, in “By the Sea,” and “The Picnic”. No dialogue, just a TRUE comedy of errors. Yes, absolutely comedic gold. 🏆🤩😂✨✨✨
Ronnie Barker was asked, "How would you like to be remembered?" He said, "I would like to be remembered as a good funny comedian." PF. He was too modest. He (and Corbett) became two of the greatest comedians of all time! They played the female characters so well, Barker especially!
They really should've put together a feature length version of something like this, it would've been gut busting, I know it, Ans judging by this very well received by all at the time and even now because they're both timeless in their comedy acting, absolutely brilliant, as this sketch is too. 🇬🇧-Comedy Gold Genius.
This Two Ronnie's sketch is pure comedy genius, backed up of course by a quite wonderful supporting performance by Patricia Routledge, later to become a household name as Hyacinth Bucket! 😊
Awwww. I've just noticed it's Hyacinth. I had seen this sketch before I knew of "Keeping up appearances". Now rewatching it and what do I find! It's the BUCKET woman!!! Yay!!!!
Poirot is BELGIAN!! And this seems one great take-off on Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express! But the Two Ronnie's were just superb. And the added touch of genius was Patricia Routledge aka Hyacinth Bucket as the wife!! What a total hoot!!
Funniest thing I've watched in ages. I used to watch them as a kid but don't remember this. Couldn't stop laughing at the arrangement of the fatalities 😂
In America, *The Two Ronnies* is (or, if you insist, are) known mainly only to those of us who actually paid attention to what people like Pythons would say of their own influences, whom they admired, etc. I mean, most of us for example know of David Frost only as some pertinacious fellow who had the temerity to call Nixon a dirty crook (by implication) to his face on a nationally televised interview, not as a very funny guy in his own right once upon a different career path.
Now That's How You Make An Entrance..By introducing An Exit🍑 0:25 This Hercule is Just As Hilarious As The Hercule From The Dragonball Series. Perfect! 4:40 He's So Tiny 6:25 Dayum Lol 8:10
This is if Monsieur Alfonse was trying to court Hyacinth Bucket.
“Oh, such pulchritude! It is your pulchritude that sets you aside from the multitude, Madam Bultitude.” Lol.
Surely they could not have considered anyone else but her for playing Hyacinth.
Incredible.
Love these. God bless the two R,s. We will never see the likes of these ever again.😢
Lol, your apostrophe fell out of the sky
Their acting and word play is out of this world... Fabulous..
THE 2 RON'S WILL B MIST ON THE TV C U LATER I LOVE BOTH OF U LOL ❤❤
This is pure Genius!! There are no shows like this anymore

Yes that ending was indeed in Christie style

An absolute blast!!! Really made me LOLOL!!! Thank you Messrs Barker and Corbett! Classic comedy that’s lost none of its charm or fun over the years!

Patricia was no Slouch in the comedy acting skills.
You can see how Patricia Routledge got the part of Hyacinth. This character is her in all but name
Lol, 🤪😂😈
Loved Hyacinth lol
Indeed! 😁😁😁😁😁
This and Kitty from Victoria Wood

🇬🇧-Comedy Gold Genius.
Look up "murder by death" film, if you like this, you'll love the film.
It’s your pulchritude that sets you aside from the multitude Madam Bertitude. 😂😂😂
Sundeep Haridas 😂
9:20
At 0:30 I was expecting her to shout "Richard?" 😂
Me too!!
Me three!
So funny and enjoyable to watch. All such brilliant actors!
This is just too much talent on one screen. With Three of the great of britain comedy
4:25 to 5:07 little Ronnie at his best. Laughed till I cried, thank you so much for uploading this.
Tears in my eyes from laughter . i couldve watched this for another hour or two
Patricia routledge was in the steptoe and son episode ,seance in a rag and bone yard, as the clairvoyant
I love that episode, Patricia rouledge was a great actress. Keeping up appearances is still one of my favourite shows.
You can see why Patricia Routledge had the hyacinth character later on. she was made for the part
💕💕
I thought I had clicked on a KUA video by mistake lol
Was thinking the exact same thing.
@@NeathSpadge yes!!! me too love the show did not know she was on the two Ronnies.
@@PointsofData 😆😆😆😆😆 👍👍👍👍👍 😁😁😁😁😁

Hyacinth "Boo-kay"!
Brilliant! Especially the garden death scene.
One of their very best! One of the very best Poirots!
"I didn't get where I am today by being murdered at a garden party". I hope someone gets it.
How on earth have I never seen this before?
I thought that too.
WOW absolutely PRICELESS...
Patricia ..aka Hyacinth
Outstanding in this sketch am falling over laughing
What I love about this is that isn’t not so much a parody of Poirot as it is just a Poirot story if it were a comedy instead of a drama.
Nothing short of brilliant!
AND Patricia Rowtledge! What a treat!
If my Sheridan were here, he'd be appalled!
That dinner scene with black mamba story had me in literal fits of laughing until my face started to hurt.
Surely, surely, this was a test run for Mrs Bucket...
When Poirot propped up all of the bodies, only to have them all fall over like some awful Jenga game, I laughed till I was almost in tears. 😂😂😂🤣🤣🤣
Awwww. I've just noticed it's Hyacinth. I had seen this sketch before I knew of "Keeping up appearances".
Now rewatching it and what do I find! It's the BUCKET woman!!! Yay!!!!
Its bouquet!!
It is your pulchritude which sets you apart from the multitude, Madame Baltitude". What an astonishing bit of wordplay.
These two are hilarious. Love PR
Genius. God bless them!
I didn't even recognise the Ronnie as the French Inspector until right at the end.Such funny,marvelous acting by all.
Poirot is BELGIAN!!
And this seems one great take-off on Albert Finney in Murder on the Orient Express!
But the Two Ronnie's were just superb.
And the added touch of genius was Patricia Routledge aka Hyacinth Bucket as the wife!!
What a total hoot!!
Funniest thing I've watched in ages. I used to watch them as a kid but don't remember this. Couldn't stop laughing at the arrangement of the fatalities 😂
This was terrific!
One thing I don’t understand about this sketch: why wasn’t Elizabeth invited over for coffee? She could have used a beaker.
Timeless. Brilliant.
Dame Patricia! Yaaaaas! ❤️
who? oh the bucket woman
@@guharup "It's pronounced 'bouquet', dear!"
Love this..
I guess we know where the Hyacinth Bucket character originated.
(as The Vicar's wife) "Oh no! It's the Bucket woman!" 😝😄😁👍
Oh no! Not the Bucket Woman! ;-)
bucket? bouquet
Clinty, from "To Sir, with Love"!
What's the Lady of the House doing here?! 🤣
Well, the Bishop was coming round...
Never seen that before it was really funny 😃😃😷✌
Fantastic!
Fantastic
brilliant.
Two thousand and twenty four. First time seeing this episode
Poirot here reminds me of Monsieur Alphonse the undertaker for some reason
So thats where mrs bucket came from
This was well done!
Love these❤😂❤
Congrats on 1000 subs!
I didn't recognize the Ronnie playing the detective till half way thru...what fun
Is she already playing Hyacinth?
Jeez, the amount of time I laughed so hard that I farted. I miss these guys, a privilege to have watched them with dad as I grew up in the ‘70s/‘80s.
Brilliant. So funny ha ha!
What a hootanahalf 😂😂😂
Ronnie si right of course, they all get murdered after Poirot appears!
I thought the Scottish president of PIST was my favorite but his Poirot is beyond funny.
Great
AAAAAGHH! It's Hyacinth!
Poirot on the grass!!!
Thanks .
Ahrrrrrr it's the bucket woman lol
Sublimely brilliant. Cor Blimey, is they Limeys?
Might anyone know the name of music or composer played at various times in the sketch please.
In America, *The Two Ronnies* is (or, if you insist, are) known mainly only to those of us who actually paid attention to what people like Pythons would say of their own influences, whom they admired, etc. I mean, most of us for example know of David Frost only as some pertinacious fellow who had the temerity to call Nixon a dirty crook (by implication) to his face on a nationally televised interview, not as a very funny guy in his own right once upon a different career path.
It's Mrs Bucket!
Intricate and funny!
Mrs Bucket
Could anyone advice me on where can I get the opening music, Please?
What is the name of the music playing at the beginning?
a minute speck of earwig dropping...
hyazinth bucket.
Hyacinth!
Fantastic poirot as well.
Can anyone tell me about the "Intro Music" please? .... I would love to have the whole peace
Mrs Bucket.
She finally got her stately home :P
Now That's How You Make An Entrance..By introducing An Exit🍑 0:25
This Hercule is Just As Hilarious As The Hercule From The Dragonball Series.
Perfect! 4:40 He's So Tiny 6:25 Dayum Lol 8:10
Murder was served!
7:39 that's how Sheridan was conceived I take it?
Funny. 🙃🧐😉😀📺📽️🎬
Mrs bucket
I was this was a full-length feature film.
Pat Routledge was a bit of a smoke show in the 70s
Crying 😂🤣😂🤣
S.M.TRIPATHI SONGS
LMFAO
There is something about Patricia Routledge
The previous Poirot must have died.
I wonder where this was filmed.
It may have been Kingswoods Warren the BBC research department which was housed in a grand manor.
@@johnhodges8264 No not there as the buildings layout is not the same.
Everything would be great and everybody happy then Hercule Poirot shows up and all of a sudden somebody dies lol
Not Interested 2:28
Who played the Colonel's *ahem* niece?
Candy Davies.
@@adammullany Candy Davis from _Are You Being Served?_ Really??? I did not recognize her in this mode!
Poirot is not as bad as Jessica fletcher
Jessica fletcher, oh God not her, 😂
