You stopped the video too early. When the sketch finished, the video started to transition to a brightly lit studio, at which point you stopped it. Had you let it continue, you would have seen the Two Ronnies much later in life, indeed it was their last appearance together, in a show reprising some of their popular sketches, which had just shown the ‘Four Candles’ that you had reviewed. Ronnie Barker, who wrote the sketch, was never happy with the ending, as he thought it was a bit too obscure. However, he did think of a much better ending, which they used when they later performed the sketch Live on stage, at the London Palladium Theatre. He then went on to reveal the new punchline in the video transition that you halted. I hope you will re-visit the clip and enjoy seeing them as older men and laughing at a much funnier ending. Here are some Two Ronnies’ suggestions: ‘Name Droppers’ ‘Ponting Punting’ ‘The Strange Case Of Mrs. Mace’ ‘The Confusing Library’ (Make sure you choose the one lasting 3:28 min version loaded by: Flipped and Marked, there is another, shorter version on UA-cam, that completely misses the punchline) ‘Crossed Lines’ ‘Crossword’ ‘Mastermind’ ‘Swear Box’ ‘Accountant Bore’ ‘The Ministry of Sexual Equality’ ‘Slim Pickman and Polly Parton’

This is great
A classic, I’m glad I got to watch it for the first time reaction

Would you like to react to Tarzan The Fearless 1933?
That’s a great idea! I’m always looking for material
I think it has an Olympic swimmer in it named Buster Crabbe as Tarzan @@TheBrianYTshow
