Remember when they gave Ronnie Corbett his own show last Christmas and called it The One Ronnie? The idea is the same here, as we start a trio of shows involving veteran comics (Griff Rhys Jones and Jasper Carrott follow) who revive old characters and link up with guest stars. Lenny Henry has more old characters than most, and revives memories of sex-obsessed old gent Donovan Bogarde and "cru-shall" Brixton DJ Delbert Wilkins, now coming at us via YouTube.

The best sketch is a showcase for Peter Serafinowicz, playing a white bloke who can't stop talking in black patois, and there are decent spoofs of Twilight and Cee Lo Green videos.

Was the BBC's 2010 Ronnie Corbett-centric Christmas special The One Ronnie really so successful that they feel able to riff on the title for this similarly outdated Lenny Henry showcase? The first minute-and-a-half - as Lenny busts into a serious Swedish crime drama - promises good things, but it's downhill all the way from there: there really isn't a single joke here that works. It's partly redeemed by the fact that Lenny remains an effortlessly likeable performer, even in the most cringeworthy sketches - and there's some spectacularly lazy writing here, particularly when it comes to tackling anything political - and by a guest cast including Ronni Ancona and Peter Serafinowicz. A mostly harmless half hour, but don't expect a comeback.

Ronnie Corbett awarded a CBE in the Queen's honours

Gong 33 years after OBE with his TV partner Ronnie Barker.

Sit back, pour yourself an after-dinner drink and enjoy a really good laugh as David Jason presents Christmas clips from The Goon Show, Morecambe and Wise, Only Fools and Horses and The Royle Family. And there are even a few choice words from Ronnie Corbett.

Originally broadcast in 2005, just months before Ronnie Barker died, and 34 years after the first-ever episode of The Two Ronnies, this "best of" sketch show proves The Two Ronnies never lost their chemistry. A thinner, rather frail looking Ronnie Barker and a buoyant Ronnie Corbett sit behind that famous desk to introduce their favourite sketches from a career spanning three decades. Unlike many compilation programmes, all the sketches are shown in full, and serve as a happy reminder of a time when comedy was just a bit of harmless fun. Fork handles anyone?
