I was a young scriptwriter (junior scriptwriter) in the 70's with the BBC. I could not have wished for a better apprenticeship than I had working on the 'Two Ronnies'.
70s BBC and ITV are a land more magical than OZ to me. i was a boy from Beaverton Oregon who saw Monty Python , Are you being served and the Ronnies on public broadcasting channel . I had to put aluminum foil on my antennae to watch them .. Tell me more, if you would, please ..what was it like?
Most of the other celebrities featured in this show have died now - The Two Ronnies themselves, Barry Cryer, Graham Chapman - Josephine Tewson has died in the last week or so!
I watch my Two Ronnies box set about once every six months & I still love them. On the other hand I haven't watched Not The Nine O'Clock News since it was originally on TV. Real talent endures, although I suspect some of their less PC sketches would give a lot of people the vapours today. Historical social context people!!!
Is amusing how the two Ronnies have aged liked a fine wine and can be watched now with great fondness, however who would watch ‘not the 9 o’clock news.’?
@@kobimccarthy3742 No, Barker hated it and Corbett thought it was ok. Griff Rhys Jones is on record as saying at a BBC party not long after the sketch Barker was less than complimentary to him
Young days are lovely and hopeful with love, true sexy love , always just about to happen. Learning and saying hello to everything. Old Days are scary with death and disease and saying goodbye again and again.but.it comes with something like wisdom which seems like a small compensation.
Well i wouldn't argue but you have different taste than me. I loved every minute of the Ronnies. Hey while you're doing tea I'll take cream and one sugar in mine. thanks mate

I wish they would bring back comedy connections it was always interesting to watch
Such love and respect between the Two Ronnies - Pure Gold!
Fantastic tribute… thank you…
I was 11 when they started and I grew up watching them on TV. They are as funny today as they were way back then.
Oh I'm so glad to have been young back then. Wasn't it lovely
Never heard of the prince of Denmark but I've heard of the rest

Me ! I would ! I subscribe to Britbox just to see these vintage shows
Great sketch/variety show!

Sad that that kind of show is no longer made...
Problem is I struggle to watch them at the desk without thinking of the Not the 9 o’clock news spoof. RB hated it RC loved it.
its rc who hated it and rb didnt react to it from what i could find
I loved both of those great and hilarious shows

I loved the parody of The Two Ronnies in Not the Nine O'Clock News because I'm a big fan of both shows.
Love Sorry!
Hated the monologues by Ronnie c always made a cup of tea at that point
Well i wouldn't argue but you have different taste than me. I loved every minute of the Ronnies. Hey while you're doing tea I'll take cream and one sugar in mine. thanks mate
