I saw a video where Ronnie Barker said he thought of the perfect end to that sketch years later, something to do with 'knockers'...it's online somewhere :)
@@fekinel Yes, I saw that, I think he was implying that had it been in the era, that he was looking back from (1990's) he would have fealt he could have got away with the ruder words.
I worked with Ronnie Corbett in pantomime 1970/1 and summer season 1971 with a band from Nottingham called Sons and Lovers. During the summer season I had the honour of performing a comedy gymnastics act with him. He was a comedy legend.
The word play between these two gentlemen was fantastic. Sometimes I needed to listen to things several times before I got all the jokes and clever word play. Both will certainly be missed, but they have left us a catalogue of work to keep them in our hearts and minds.
Slightly misleading, Ronnie Barker never appeared in Sorry, Plus unlike the banner says, the Two Ronnies never broke up, They just went there own seperate ways but remained the best of friends!
Me too. I watched the last two series as a kid, and the 1987 christmas special, before they stopped. But I recall they were so popular that immediately after, the BBC did 21 years of The Two Ronnies, and 22 years of The Two Ronnies, compilation shows. I don't think the shows will ever be repeated again sadly, their humour doesn't fit with our current times. However, they are my comedy heroes, and I dearly miss them. So much nostalgia and happy memories 😊
Bloody hell that made me nostalgic - I remember watching them through the '70's with my mum and dad. Seeing the stills transported me back to that sitting room with B&W TV, flocked 70's wallpaper, lurid carpets of beige and orange and '70's furniture. I wouldn't want to stay but I wish I could wind the clock back and visit that time.

Growing up in New Zealand in the 1970's & 1980's the Two Ronnies were more often than not aired over the Christmas period, they were a bloody scream. British humour at its best. My children have also enjoyed seeing replays of the Two Ronnies when they were growing up.
My wife and I went to the BBC center in west London and saw an episode of the two ronnies being filmed. I can tell you that there were many times when one of them entertained solo whilst the other was off getting changed. We had a great night out seeing the 2 of them filming. This must have been in the mid 1970's.
Ronnie Corbett lived a couple of miles from me also not too far from David Bowie's early stomping ground. Two legends that left a fine legacy, the Two Ronnies were magic
I loved them both and watched all their tv shows. I was a bit young for The Frost Report, but have seen clips. Misleading, as they didn't split up. And Ronnie Barker wasn't in " Sorry" that was Ronnie Corbett.
Born in '72 , in Australia, I grew up with all great British comedy, I love them all, Excellent, good and bad. This is part of where my sense of humor started, I had no choice 😜😜😜😜👀
Barker was a great writer and Corbett had an astonishing talent for performance that was almost inhuman. Both were extraordinary. You could almost see the incredibly fast moving cogs turning in Corbett's mind as he played his roles. They were equals.
Ronnie Barker was never in Sorry, that was a vehicle for Ronnie Corbett. Also, it actually started in 1981, not the late 1980s, and ran from 1981-82, and then 1985-1988. They didn't break up, they just decided to do their own things, although they occasionally reunited.
I first encountered Ronnie Corbett in Children's TV - Crackerjack. : Eamonn Andrews was the presenter. All the children in our family loved Ronnie C. He always seemed the little vulnerable man with indomitable spirit against the odds. Always smiling, he represented courage against the bullies and overcoming bad luck.
I'm a fan of both Ronnies and watched their respective TV shows like "Sorry" (Corbett) and "Open All Hours", "Porridge", and "Going Straight" (Barker). If I had to pick one over the other I'd go with Ronnie Barker. I just loved his Arkwright character.
I read Ronnie Barker's autobiography many years ago. There was one story which I think he would omit or change some details of these days. The man's work is still wonderfully funny.
I don't know where you did your research, but a lot of it is wrong. As someone who followed their careers, and The Two Ronnies series especially, I can say with confidence that Ronnie Barker did not leave The Two Ronnies to pursue other interests - he was ordered to stop working by his doctor or it would kill him. That is common knowledge, much reported at the time. Nor did he appear in the sitcom "Sorry" with Ronnie Corbett. All of the sitcoms "Sorry", "Porridge", "Going Straight" and "Open All Hours" were made DURING the same period of The Two Ronnies as separate projects with no input from the other Ronnie. They never appeared as The Two Ronnies outside the television series (except once for a very brief surprise appearance at the Royal Variety Show).
@@markbarker6739 This is an age thing and we're talking about major talent , both of them . I know that David Jason adored and still adores the person and the work of Ronnie Barker .
@@jamesguitar7384 I know but Ronnie b really dld hand over the title of the governor to David jason at an awards event I have seen the video clip of it
My all-time Two Ronnies favourite is the Mastermind sketch. I was a Mastermind contestant myself and certainly understood the expressions on Ronnie Corbett's face as the contestant. Full credit, in fact, to the script-writer; despite its hilarious content, amazingly it was not by the Two Ronnies themselves.
I loved that, one of the best things they did, answering the question before the current question.... totally hilarious on every level. quote* Barker "who is the Arch-Bishop of Canterbury?" - Corbett "he is a fat man who tells blue jokes".... ha ha
I used to agree with you, but looking at R.C. doing his armchair chat now, I can see they are very clever and very amusing. Saying that, the bit I hated was the musical bit at the end, which I'm sure lots of people loved.
"So I went to see the producer....he looked at me in his usual way... over the top of his glasses that is ....He had this theory that it saved wear and tear on the lenses!"
I remember where I was when I heard the news of Ronnie Barker, I was at work and the woman at the desk opposite got a call from her husband, who worked upstairs and he told her the news. They were both brilliant
They were part of our lives throughout the years. Fond memories of them both. Family entertainment at it's best. Miss them and rely on UA-cam to remind me of great times.😂
I saw them on stage in London and it was just as fantastic as it was watchingthe Two Ronnines TV show and they preformed the famous sketch that we all know today! R.I.P and thank you the the laughs you gave us all! Sigh! 😪
Ronnie Corbett was my favourite, always clever, poignantly turning his lack of height into a joke against himself - getting advantage from it in a brave way,
That's not at all true and Barker made that clear. Corbett threw himself into performance and the way he did it frightened Barker and brought him great joy. Barker was a sophisticated writer but he learned how to perform from Corbett.
Good morning. These two men were around when the world needed to laugh, they were so good at characters, I like the sweetshop skit, that was one I will always remember. These two men were very talented and I am sure lots of people remember their fun. they lighten up a lot of peoples lives. I know I miss them and have been watching their skits for many years.IN Britain they were many comedians and these guys belong at the top. There will always be BRITISH comedians. Even now the people need to laugh as our world is so dangerous with guns, bombs, drugs and atrocities, innocent human beings killed for who they are, where their live. Mankind will have to answer for this.
Ronnie Barker became an antique dealer and ran a shop called The Emporium in Chipping Norton, Bedfordshire before selling up to move to Oxford. This Video has a Very, Very misleading title. Ronnie Barker considered himself an Actor first & foremost not a comedian, unlike Ronnie Corbett who was the one that TOLD the jokes.
What is forgotten is the Two Ronnies were NOT a full time double act and only came together on David Frost's BBC and ITV shows before their own show started in 1970: Both Ronnies had their own TV projects .
The title of this video is just total clickbait, it's misleading as it suggests they had a bad falling out which ended their partnership which is totally untrue. 6:55 - they didn't reunite for the sitcom "Sorry" that was just Ronnie Corbett and ran from 1981 to 1988 so was in FACT (something there's very little of on this channel) it was made while they were still making The Two Ronnies series and wasn't late 80's/early 90's. 7:26 - No That's Me Over Here was made between 1967-1970 so it wasn't something Ronnie Corbett did AFTER The Two Ronnies but actually BEFORE the Two Ronnies. Also when Porridge and Open All Hours are mentioned it makes it sound like these two Ronnie Barker series were made AFTER The Two Ronnies when again it wasn't.
Everyone has their comedy duo favourites in the various formats. For me, in film , Still way out front, STAN & OLLIY''. on TV ? ''The Two Ronnies''. They could not be even equalled, because of the Variety of comedy scenarios, that they became so expert at. As so very well listed in the above Video.
It should be noted that Corbett also went on to present some daytime quiz shows, after parting company with his good friend and colleague Barker. Barker's health was also on the decline.
This was a very unique era in British Television when a TV programme had a very different quality and structure to today. The national electricity power supply grid took into account almost the entire population simultaneously switching on electric kettle after a programme ends. You wouldn't want to stop viewing in case you miss anything. Very different to today's format of endless repetition and ongoing summarys to cater for channel-hop bits-of viewing.
The implication that Porridge and Open All Hours were "comebacks after retirement" is misleading. These shows came much earlier, parallel with their joint work.
They where so funny. I could never forget where Corbet is Barkers boss in an accounting firm i think. He told Barker he was so boring and attempted to make him laugh. Those guys had me in tears. Barker with a straight face, While Corbet bounced on a blown up rubber glove i think.
The 2 Ronnie's brought out the best in Ronnie Corbett who shone with his female impressions in particular ,who doesn't know someone just like it? and they weren't disparaging either .😁
The old style good comedians didn't need the obscenities of Connolly and others. Watch Morecombe and Wise and the animals in the cardboard box sketch with Roy Castle.
"The Two Ronnies Broke up Immediately After He Did This" Long story short...they broke up immediately after Ronnie Barker retired plus Ronnie Barker had no connection with "Sorry", which actually ran from 1981 to 1988, he didn't write for, produce, or appear in the series. This was purely a vehicle for Ronnie Corbett. Also, Barker didn't retire to write produce, direct or star in Porridge and Open All Hours, these both ran through the 1970s and 1980s and had both finished long before he retired.. He retired to run an antiques shop in Chipping Norton. Finally, he wrote "It's Hello From Him", his autobiography before he retired. It was published in November 1988.
They were so together you couldn't chose a fave, same when separated, they gave as much joy as they could muster and it always seemed endless (/^v^)/! Here's to the one couple that became the two Ron's both together and apart 🏆🏆
Surreal to have a North American explaining an exclusively British institution. There are inaccuracies. Ronnie Barker never appeared in Sorry! - it was solely a Corbett vehicle.
The Two Ronnies never broke up Barker ritied then when they got him back on Tv sadly he died And Corbett was with us about 15 years more where hed happily talk about him
Porridge was broadcast in the mid 1960s to early 1970s, they would have only just met. Corbett had nothing to do with Porridge. Likewise with Sorry, this was purely a vehicle for Corbett.
I have to agree, most of what is posted in the comment section of all, or most video footage, is without fact's, or supported by accual person's invloved in such footage, to substantiate whether what is being narrated, is accual fact, or not. They are the fact's. Most of it is based on (sketchy information) that the information is formed from, opinionated misrepresented, here say. Cheers, trying to work that one out !!!
They were both my favorites, although Barker for Porridge, for Going Straight and Open All Hours. There is a new series of Open All Hours with David Jason, not the same but just as good here on You Tube..
Misleading title, THEY DIDN'T BREAK UP, one of the greatest comedy teams ever simply retired !
Yes, a bit of clickbait going on there.
What was also important from Ronnie Barkers point of view was that he wanted to leave on a high and not end up dragging on using the same jokes etc
Then they returned for the sketchbook. Many years later but the comedy was still good.

Some of my fondest, most nostalgic memories are of watching The Two Ronnies with my grandparents, when I was a little kid in the 80's.

Should be remembered for that.
There was NO 'break up', Barker told Corbett he wanted to retire a year in advance after the penultimate 'Christmas Special'. He never worked again.
I agree,where did they get this all from
True, it's really sad when people do these UA-cam shows who have no knowledge or real interest in the subject matters. Really quite disrespectful.
He did play Churchill's butler in a docudrama after his retirement.
They did reteam some years later.

Two legends that left a fine legacy, the Two Ronnies were magic
The only time david Bowie made me laugh, was when he tried to sing.
They did not reunite for a sitcom called "Sorry" in the late 80s and early 90s. That was just Corbett.
Absolutely loved these two

It's nice to hear an American pronounce Edinburgh correctly.😁
They were never in Buck Rogers but C was offered the part as Tweeky
The Two Ronnies never broke up Barker ritied then when they got him back on Tv sadly he died And Corbett was with us about 15 years more where hed happily talk about him
Good subject matter but' The Two Ronnies Broke up Immediately After He Did' what? Clickbait header.
One of the first times working together was that was the week that was
Both Ronnies were funny as a duo but for me RonnieBarker in Porridge is up there with the best in British comedy….
Porridge was broadcast in the mid 1960s to early 1970s, they would have only just met. Corbett had nothing to do with Porridge. Likewise with Sorry, this was purely a vehicle for Corbett.
The Navy lark I'd forgot about that.. Not heard it mentioned in decades
I have to agree, most of what is posted in the comment section of all, or most video footage, is without fact's, or supported by accual person's invloved in such footage, to substantiate whether what is being narrated, is accual fact, or not.
They are the fact's.
Most of it is based on (sketchy information) that the information is formed from, opinionated misrepresented, here say.
Cheers, trying to work that one out !!!
The two ronnies had contection with only fools and horses as david jason was the phatonum rasberry blower on the show
The 2 Ronnies gave it up when Not the 9 oclock news took the piss. They did a song as the 2 and nailed em., cant find the clip though.
They were both my favorites, although Barker for Porridge, for Going Straight and Open All Hours. There is a new series of Open All Hours with David Jason, not the same but just as good here on You Tube..
Correct me if i am wrong but i am sure Barker owned and ran an antique shop up to his death.
Think you should drop the Facts half.
