      @Meadow Pinkelle No tribute, Coogan has shown no influence from the two Ronnies in any previous performances. The figure of Partridge after many decades, is a well rounded character and has shown no influence by the Two Ronnies, therefore this is a tribute to the sketches performed by the two Ronnies. On the other hand we can see that Ricky Gervais has been INFLUENCED by Laurel and Hardy by his continuing glances at the camera. There is a difference and I’m surprised you picked up on this having such little knowledge of nuances. Maybe you just had to write something? No matter how banal.
