Comedy Connections is a BBC One documentary series produced by BBC Scotland that aired from 2003 to 2008. The show looked at the stories behind the production of some of Britain's comedy television programmes, showing how they tied in with the production of other comedy shows (hence "connections"). The show featured interviews with some of the cast and crew of the subject programme, as well as footage from the series.

I know Ronnie Cordett played the central character, but Barbara Lott's performance ensured it was the mother who sprang to mind for me whenever Sorry! is mentioned.

And Ronnie's close relation, Ronnie Corbett. Smh.

[@ANDCFC95]

Check out her performance in the episode “Another time” in Bernard’s Watch, she knocks it out of the park. Very subtle but powerful

Telly was so good in the past. I see how lucky we were to see this great stuff then

[@PTS-THX1138]

Probably the best theme music for a TV comedy...

Excellent upload, love this show

[@TheRowlandstone73]

Blimey, that theme tune takes me right back to my childhood! Roy Holder who played Timothy's mate will always be Jackie Greenwood from 1961's Whistle Down The Wind to me!
And fair play, Marguerite Hardiman looked better here than she did when playing Muriel all those years ago!

Imagine a reboot of the series starring Simon Bird

‘Sorry’ was hilarious but Corbett was not popular at the BBC.

[@davegadge1]

Why?

It’s rubbish. The theme tune is the only good part.
