Pleeeeease watch! Anyone who doesn't isn't a real comedy fan. I decree that by order of me.

I is watching it now

Good boy. :)

It's very funny, but sadly lacking in any info about the inclement weather.

Indeedly doodly.

That was jolly good.

Specially the Ronnie Barker bits.

Did I mention that Mark and I went to the recording?

Obviously of the 'is Back!' bit, not the 'Over England'...

Jolly good rather indeed though, yes! :)

You saw Ronnie Corbett? In his flesh?

Yep!

But then I went to the recording of The Two Ronnies Christmas Sketchbook, so I've seen him - and Ronnie Barker - in the flesh previously.

Show off!

I want some Two Ronnies glasses.

Did I mention that Jimmy Perry was in the audience also? And stood up to give a little speechy thingy?

What he say?

Basically pleading with Barker to come back to comedy!

Aw.

Did he cry? That always works for me when I'm pleading something.

Ronnie Barker was crying, but I don't remember Perry doing so.

Hell, even I was crying a little.
