FROM BBC WORLDWIDE FOR ITV
THE TWO RONNIES from 16 February 2006 on ITV3
During the heyday of their long running show, the late RONNIE BARKER and RONNIE CORBETT were known as one as the best comedy double-acts on British television.
The Two Ronnies performed as comedy character actors, slipping into a variety of guises and personalities to execute their humour. With both able to take on the role of funny-man/straightman, their versatility enabled them to draw material from a vast pool of writers. The show had several regular features with a 'Ronnie in the chair' solo spot for Corbett, where he delivered a rambling comedy monologue which strayed wildly from the original subject, yet managed to get back on course for the finish. Recurring private detectives Charley Farley (Corbett) and Piggy Malone (Barker) were hugely popular, skits involving elaborate word-play and tongue-twisting speeches were unforgettable and the closing item in every show was a selection of spoof news items. 'Goodnight from me', Corbett would bid to the audience, to which Barker would add 'and it's goodnight from him'.
