BBC Four to repeat comedy classics
To link in with the celebrations of 100 years of the BBC, from Saturday 22nd October BBC Four will begin broadcasting classic episodes of sitcoms and sketch shows.
British Comedy Guide, 14th October 2022Originally 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?
Josephine Moulds, The Telegraph, 22nd December 2011There's almost no difference between these new compilations and the ubiquitous Twenty Years of The Two Ronnies - plus its various numerological offspring - which lumbered through the schedules during the 1980s. In fact, those earlier offerings went further than this latest effort by not only screening, yes, the sketches in full, but topping and tailing them with new material.
