Two Ronnies, The - Series 1

The classic BBC comedy series starring Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett.

In 1971, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett teamed up for their first BBC series, a comedy show that would run for 16 years and become part of British television history. The two comedians, although never previously a double act, complemented each other perfectly in appearance and style and their material, written by some of the top comic writers of the era, rarely failed to rise a smile and reduced many to hysterics.

The first series was broadcast in the UK in 1971. Among the many highlights of the eight episodes were the 'Bald Man at a Party' sketch, a sequel to the famous 'Class' sketch with John Cleese, the period drama mini-series 'Hampton Wick', Ronnie Barker's Appeal on Behalf of the Society of the Very Clumsy' and musical appearances from Big Jim Jehosphat and Fat-Belly Jones.
