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'.

A long overdue visit to The Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum & Bookshop in Lichfield.
First photographed the exterior in 2009, and later visited Dr Johnson's London home. But never got around to popping into his birthplace until 2025!
Samuel Johnson Birthplace Museum is a biographical museum and bookshop located in the centre of the city of Lichfield, Staffordshire, in England. The building is a Grade I listed building situated at the corner of Market Street and Breadmarket Street opposite the market square.
The museum opened in 1901 and is dedicated to the life and works of the author and lexicographer Samuel Johnson who wrote the first authoritative Dictionary of the English Language. Johnson's father built the house in 1707 and Samuel was born in the house on 18 September 1709 and spent the majority of his first 27 years in the house before leaving for London in 1737. The house was used as a commercial property for various trades between the time of Johnson's death in 1784 until the house was bought for the city by John Gilbert in 1900 for the purpose of retaining the building as a museum to Johnson. The house remains in active use as a museum.
