THE BEST OF THE TWO RONNIES (2001)
JAMES GILBERT
Plot
From 1971 to 1987, and over the course of 12 series and eight specials, The Two Ronnie's became one of the great television comedy shows. Millions of viewers lapped up the sketches of doctors' surgeries, middle-class parties, government ministry broadcasts as well as the regular news headlines, Ronnie Corbett monologues, Ronnie Barker word-play sketches and fabulous comic songs. This selection features some of the best of these including: The Short-sighted Optician, The Ministry for Sex Equality (with Ronnie Barker in half-suit, half dress!), The Plumstead Ladies Male Voice Choir, News at Ton (something amiss with the newsroom typewriter).
