Introduction
In a television career spanning 98 shows, 12 series, various Christmas
specials and more than 30 years in the business, Messrs Corbett and
Barker regularly attracted some of the biggest audiences in the history
of British television with an entertaining mix of gags, sketches, clever
comedy monologues and spectacular musical numbers.
The Two Ronnies Sketchbook brings
together the unique chemistry shared by two of Britain's best-loved
comedy legends as Ronnie Barker and Ronnie
Corbett remember their all-time favourite sketches in this
special retrospective for 大象传媒 ONE.
Classic sketches such as Mastermind, The Optician's Sketch, Swedish
Made Simple, The Phantom Raspberry Blower and extravagant music numbers
like the Aldershot Brass Band Ensemble are punctuated with reminiscences
from The Two Ronnies as they reveal their personal favourites from one
of the most impressive comedy catalogues in mainstream entertainment.
Filmed in front of a studio audience the series draws on the Ronnies'
exhaustive knowledge of the archive to present classic sketches alongside
some of their lesser known but equally funny ones.
This is a rare opportunity to see the sketches in full, as they were
intended to be seen, showcasing The Two Ronnies' incomparable skill
for outstanding wit, wordplay and performance.
In typical Two Ronnies tradition, each week they're joined by a musical
guest - artists include Katie Melua, Alison Moyet and Lisa Stansfield.
Ronnie Corbett's much loved chair monologues make a welcome return
as does a brand new weekly news update along with the duo's famous sign-off:
Ronnie Corbett: "It's a good night from me."
Ronnie Barker: "And it's a good night from him."
Both: "Goodnight."
