WHISTLING | 0:00:28 | 0:00:31 | |
Good evening. Welcome to The Two Ronnies Sketchbook. It's great to be with you. Isn't it, Ronnie? | 0:00:32 | 0:00:39 | |
It certainly is. In case younger viewers aren't sure, we ARE the Two Ronnies, famous showbiz couple. | 0:00:39 | 0:00:46 | |
-We're easy to tell apart. I'm taller. -And I'm shorter. | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
In a way, we're just like Richard and Judy, really. | 0:00:51 | 0:00:55 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:00:55 | 0:00:57 | |
Except I don't interrupt all the time. | 0:00:57 | 0:01:02 | |
And my blouse doesn't fall open in public. | 0:01:02 | 0:01:07 | |
This is The Two Ronnies Sketchbook. | 0:01:07 | 0:01:10 | |
It involves two Ronnies, 30-odd years, several changes of clothing, and sketches. | 0:01:10 | 0:01:17 | |
Sketches are the important thing. | 0:01:17 | 0:01:20 | |
This is a chance for you to enjoy the best of them as they were meant to be seen, in their entirety. | 0:01:20 | 0:01:27 | |
-Full-length versions. -And that's quite a claim, coming from you. | 0:01:27 | 0:01:32 | |
LAUGHTER | 0:01:32 | 0:01:35 | |
Indeed it is. | 0:01:35 | 0:01:38 | |
So, enjoy the show as a chocolate box of goodies, | 0:01:38 | 0:01:42 | |
with us as the picture telling you what the fillings are. | 0:01:42 | 0:01:47 | |
Yes, I've got a soft centre. | 0:01:47 | 0:01:49 | |
And I've got a crushed nut cluster. | 0:01:49 | 0:01:53 | |
Oh, dear, what a pity. Put it back. | 0:01:56 | 0:01:59 | |
Here's the first tempting treat, | 0:01:59 | 0:02:01 | |
featuring a memorable example from Ronnie Barker's gallery of annoying waiters. | 0:02:01 | 0:02:08 | |
-This is nice. -It is rather nice, isn't it? | 0:02:10 | 0:02:14 | |
-Funny we've never seen it before. -I don't think it's been open long. | 0:02:14 | 0:02:19 | |
Yes? | 0:02:21 | 0:02:23 | |
Well, we'd like a meal, please. | 0:02:25 | 0:02:28 | |
Two, is it? | 0:02:28 | 0:02:30 | |
Yes. | 0:02:30 | 0:02:32 | |
Have you booked? | 0:02:32 | 0:02:34 | |
No, no. | 0:02:36 | 0:02:38 | |
HE SIGHS | 0:02:40 | 0:02:43 | |
-I suppose I can fit you in here, if you like. -Thank you. Excuse me. | 0:02:45 | 0:02:51 | |
Yes? | 0:02:59 | 0:03:01 | |
Could we have a look at the menu, please? | 0:03:03 | 0:03:06 | |
Want a bleedin' menu now. | 0:03:11 | 0:03:14 | |
Nice, nice... | 0:03:14 | 0:03:16 | |
Oh, look. The menu's shaped like a rook. | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
It's the name of the restaurant, innit? Complete Rook. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:25 | |
-Now... It's written sort of all differently, isn't it? -Eh? | 0:03:25 | 0:03:30 | |
No, sorry, I'm talking to my friend. | 0:03:30 | 0:03:34 | |
Now, look. | 0:03:34 | 0:03:36 | |
There's rook pate here. Rook pate. Do you recommend the rook pate? | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
Only when we've got a lot we want to get rid of. | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
Well, that's honest, at least. | 0:03:46 | 0:03:49 | |
-What about soup of the day? -What is it? | 0:03:49 | 0:03:52 | |
Rook soup. | 0:03:52 | 0:03:54 | |
I expect it... I expect it's nicer than it sounds. | 0:03:54 | 0:03:59 | |
Bleedin' isn't. | 0:03:59 | 0:04:02 | |
It's worse than it sounds. | 0:04:03 | 0:04:06 | |
Ever had camel's liver marinated in rain for five days, strained through a balaclava helmet? | 0:04:06 | 0:04:13 | |
-I think we had that in Morocco. -Surely not. -I'm not being serious. | 0:04:13 | 0:04:18 | |
We didn't have it in Morocco. It was Tunis, wasn't it? No, no. | 0:04:18 | 0:04:23 | |
-Why do you ask? -Rook soup's worse than that. | 0:04:23 | 0:04:27 | |
-Why did you recommend it? -It's going off. Freezer's on the blink. | 0:04:27 | 0:04:32 | |
Look, I think the best idea is to choose the main course, | 0:04:32 | 0:04:37 | |
-and then build round it. -Good idea. | 0:04:37 | 0:04:41 | |
Then you know where you are. Because you find that, erm... | 0:04:41 | 0:04:46 | |
There's, um... You see, there's... | 0:04:57 | 0:05:00 | |
There's roast rook, braised rook, steamed rook and stuffed rook. | 0:05:02 | 0:05:07 | |
-What is this? "La corneille bouillee a la mode de Toulouse." -Boiled rook. | 0:05:07 | 0:05:13 | |
Not the sort of restaurant to come to if you don't like rook. | 0:05:15 | 0:05:20 | |
-Not the sort of restaurant to come to if you DO like rook. -Why? | 0:05:20 | 0:05:26 | |
We serve bloody awful, tough rooks, that's why. All full of lead shot. | 0:05:26 | 0:05:31 | |
I expect the chef has a magic touch. | 0:05:31 | 0:05:35 | |
Magic touch? The chef? Don't make me laugh. | 0:05:35 | 0:05:38 | |
Too much of that, he's riff-raff. Too much of that. Rubbish. | 0:05:38 | 0:05:43 | |
I'm the only bloke that keeps the tone of this place up. | 0:05:43 | 0:05:47 | |
Tell me, what is this? "Coeur de corneille Nantua." | 0:05:50 | 0:05:54 | |
Two rooks tails in a shrimp sauce. | 0:05:54 | 0:05:57 | |
-You must admit, you haven't got a very varied menu. -Nothing to "crow" over! | 0:05:57 | 0:06:03 | |
-I'm sorry. I read an article on how to relieve tense situations with humour. -Why don't you try it? | 0:06:08 | 0:06:15 | |
Going to make your ruddy minds up? I've got people waiting. | 0:06:15 | 0:06:20 | |
-Why don't we start with the sweet and work backwards? -That's better. | 0:06:20 | 0:06:25 | |
We've got ice cream. What kind? | 0:06:25 | 0:06:28 | |
Rook and raspberry ripple. | 0:06:28 | 0:06:31 | |
I'm going to plump for the rook cocktail, followed by roast rook, | 0:06:33 | 0:06:39 | |
-with the rook meringue. -So will I. | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
About bleedin' time, an' all. | 0:06:42 | 0:06:44 | |
-We could just walk out. -Oh, I don't like doing that. | 0:06:44 | 0:06:49 | |
-It's a complete rook. -The name of the restaurant told us that. We can't sue them. | 0:06:49 | 0:06:55 | |
Sorry, rook's off. | 0:06:55 | 0:06:58 | |
-What? -Rook's off. -Right, we'll go somewhere else. Thank you. | 0:06:58 | 0:07:03 | |
We'll have a little Chinese. | 0:07:03 | 0:07:06 | |
-We've got a bit of stewed tortoise left. -Tortoise? Why didn't you say? | 0:07:06 | 0:07:11 | |
We'll have stewed tortoise for two. Lovely. Yum-yum-yum-yum-yum! | 0:07:11 | 0:07:16 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:07:20 | 0:07:24 | |
I'm told they're still serving that tortoise recipe in the BBC canteen. | 0:07:26 | 0:07:31 | |
I ordered it once, but I don't know what it tastes like. Took so long to get to me. | 0:07:31 | 0:07:38 | |
Shall we waffle on like this, or shall we do another sketch? | 0:07:38 | 0:07:43 | |
-I'm easy. -There's no answer to that, is there? | 0:07:43 | 0:07:47 | |
Let's have a look at this one. | 0:07:47 | 0:07:51 | |
-Hello, old chap. -Hello! | 0:07:54 | 0:07:56 | |
Monte Carlo Robinson! Good heavens, Monte Carlo. Haven't seen you for ages. I'll join you in a minute. | 0:07:56 | 0:08:03 | |
Monte Carlo? That's a damn funny name, isn't it? | 0:08:03 | 0:08:08 | |
It was all the rage in those days. | 0:08:08 | 0:08:11 | |
One named one's child after the place he or she was, in fact, conceived, as it were. | 0:08:11 | 0:08:17 | |
Apparently the Robinsons had a cracking good time in Monte Carlo. | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
Hence, he is called Monte Carlo. | 0:08:22 | 0:08:26 | |
-Of course. I remember now. I know his brother. -Really? | 0:08:26 | 0:08:30 | |
-He's called Monte Carlo as well. They must have gone there every year. -Probably. | 0:08:30 | 0:08:36 | |
-Hello, old chap. -Hello, Nancy. | 0:08:36 | 0:08:40 | |
Nancy? | 0:08:48 | 0:08:51 | |
He was actually conceived in Nancy, you see? | 0:08:51 | 0:08:55 | |
The car broke down on the way to Monte Carlo. | 0:08:55 | 0:08:59 | |
-He's since been anglicised. -Has he? | 0:08:59 | 0:09:02 | |
-And is now called... is now called Nancy. -Yes. | 0:09:02 | 0:09:06 | |
The way cars break down, there must be Nancy boys everywhere. | 0:09:06 | 0:09:11 | |
-Hello there, old chap. -Hello, Ramsgate. | 0:09:14 | 0:09:17 | |
Ramsgate? Are you Ramsgate Fanshaw? | 0:09:21 | 0:09:24 | |
Obviously, your parents couldn't wait till they got on the ferry. | 0:09:24 | 0:09:30 | |
Tell me, Henshaw. You're not named after the place you were...? | 0:09:36 | 0:09:41 | |
-No, absolutely not. Certainly not. -A letter, Mr Fanshaw. | 0:09:41 | 0:09:46 | |
Thank you, Romford. | 0:09:46 | 0:09:48 | |
I say, this isn't for me. This is for you, Henshaw. Not Fanshaw. | 0:09:49 | 0:09:55 | |
-What terrible writing. What is that Christian name? -Never mind that. | 0:09:55 | 0:10:00 | |
Be patient, my dear... | 0:10:00 | 0:10:02 | |
Park Bench. | 0:10:02 | 0:10:05 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:10:07 | 0:10:11 | |
During our 15 years together, we spent a lot of our time in pubs. | 0:10:11 | 0:10:17 | |
At least, our characters did. Not us, personally. | 0:10:17 | 0:10:21 | |
-No. I'm not sure about the writers, though. -No. I'm saying nothing. | 0:10:21 | 0:10:26 | |
But here is a pub sketch that was a particular favourite. | 0:10:26 | 0:10:31 | |
-Hello, Bert. What'll you have? -I'll have a pint of... | 0:10:36 | 0:10:40 | |
-Pint of mild? -No. -Bitter? -No. -Mild and bitter? -No, pint of shandy. | 0:10:40 | 0:10:45 | |
Oh, shandy. Pint of shandy, Jack. | 0:10:45 | 0:10:48 | |
-I haven't seen you lately. -No, I've been off... -Off on holiday? -No. | 0:10:48 | 0:10:53 | |
-Off beer? What? -No. Off colour. | 0:10:53 | 0:10:56 | |
-Off colour? What's been the matter? -I got strange feelings in my... | 0:10:56 | 0:11:01 | |
-In your stomach? -No, in... -In your back? -No, in... -In your side? No, in... In your backside? | 0:11:01 | 0:11:08 | |
-No, in my lunch hour. -What sort of feelings, then? What feelings? | 0:11:08 | 0:11:14 | |
Well, it happened in the canteen. | 0:11:14 | 0:11:16 | |
-I was sitting opposite this woman and she got... -A look in her eye? | 0:11:16 | 0:11:21 | |
-No, one of those... -Hour-glass figures? -No, apple turnovers. | 0:11:21 | 0:11:27 | |
-She got this apple turnover and she kept, erm... -Turning it over? -No. | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
-She kept toying with it. -Toying. | 0:11:32 | 0:11:35 | |
-Oh, there we are. -Lovely. -Thanks, Jack. Cheers. -Cheers. | 0:11:35 | 0:11:40 | |
Anyway, we were sitting opposite each other at this little table. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:45 | |
-I suddenly felt her... -Hand on your knee? -No. -Hand on your other knee? | 0:11:45 | 0:11:50 | |
-No. -What did you feel, then? What's she got her hand on? | 0:11:50 | 0:11:54 | |
-No, well, I felt her looking at me, you know? -Oh, looking at you. | 0:11:54 | 0:12:00 | |
I could tell she fancied me. We got chatting about gardening. | 0:12:00 | 0:12:05 | |
It came up that I'm very good on... | 0:12:05 | 0:12:08 | |
-On the lawn? -No. | 0:12:08 | 0:12:11 | |
-No, I'm very good on... -On Friday nights? | 0:12:11 | 0:12:15 | |
-I'm very good on pest control. -Oh. | 0:12:15 | 0:12:17 | |
So she said to me, "What are you doing Saturday?" I said, "Shopping. The wife will be in bed with..." | 0:12:17 | 0:12:25 | |
-With any luck? -No. | 0:12:25 | 0:12:27 | |
-With her trouble. -What trouble? | 0:12:27 | 0:12:30 | |
-Ever since she worked in a Greek restaurant, she's had bad... -Bad habits? -No, bad... -Bad breath? -No. | 0:12:30 | 0:12:37 | |
-Bad feet. -Oh, has she? -Yeah. | 0:12:37 | 0:12:40 | |
So she said, "Look, you come round. I could sunbathe on the patio. | 0:12:40 | 0:12:45 | |
-"You could look at my big..." -Big what? | 0:12:45 | 0:12:49 | |
Begonias. | 0:12:49 | 0:12:51 | |
At first I refused because I was a bit taken aback. | 0:12:51 | 0:12:56 | |
-I said I couldn't because I didn't have a long enough, erm... -What? | 0:12:56 | 0:13:01 | |
-I didn't have a long enough, erm... -What? Garden spray? -No. | 0:13:01 | 0:13:06 | |
-Long enough shopping list to be out that long. -You never went? -I went. | 0:13:06 | 0:13:11 | |
She pleaded with me. She said if I didn't go round there, she'd be lying there on her... | 0:13:11 | 0:13:17 | |
-On her back? -No. -On her front? -No. | 0:13:17 | 0:13:20 | |
-On her begonias? -No. | 0:13:20 | 0:13:23 | |
-No, on her own. -On her own. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:25 | |
So there she was in her sun-suit. | 0:13:25 | 0:13:28 | |
I said to her, "I'd like to kiss you." She immediately got on her... | 0:13:28 | 0:13:33 | |
Hands and knees? | 0:13:33 | 0:13:36 | |
-No, on her high horse. -Oh. | 0:13:36 | 0:13:39 | |
She said, "Certainly not. I think you're a little, erm..." | 0:13:39 | 0:13:44 | |
-A little raver? -No. -A little drunk? -No, a little... | 0:13:44 | 0:13:48 | |
-A little premature. -Oh, a little premature drunk. | 0:13:48 | 0:13:52 | |
She said, "I've only known you an hour. You'll have to wait another ten minutes." | 0:13:52 | 0:13:59 | |
-Then she went indoors. -Oh. -I tidied up the rockery, then went indoors. | 0:13:59 | 0:14:05 | |
-She was waiting for me in the all... -In the altogether? -No, in the 'all of the 'ouse. | 0:14:05 | 0:14:11 | |
A nice time was had by all. She gave me a round of... | 0:14:11 | 0:14:16 | |
-A round of applause? -A round of... -A round of golf? -No. | 0:14:16 | 0:14:20 | |
A round of toast and a cup of tea. | 0:14:20 | 0:14:23 | |
-I got home, very worried. -Why? -I thought the wife would find out. | 0:14:23 | 0:14:28 | |
-You know what she gave me? -What? -She gave me a bunch of... -A bunch of fives? -No, a bunch of begonias. | 0:14:28 | 0:14:35 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:14:37 | 0:14:39 | |
Here is the next sketch. | 0:14:42 | 0:14:44 | |
Bear in mind that nowadays, this would be about mobile phones. Back then, they hadn't been invented. | 0:14:44 | 0:14:51 | |
Hello? Hello, Simon. Gerald here. | 0:15:16 | 0:15:20 | |
Hello, Doris? It's me, Walter. | 0:15:20 | 0:15:23 | |
-How are you, old man? -All right, thanks. | 0:15:23 | 0:15:27 | |
Simon, I had to ring you up to find out how you got on with that fabulous new girl. | 0:15:27 | 0:15:33 | |
Not too bad. There were one or two things I couldn't get hold of. | 0:15:33 | 0:15:38 | |
Oh, yes. I know the kind of girl. Did you take her somewhere exotic? | 0:15:38 | 0:15:43 | |
Sainsbury's. | 0:15:43 | 0:15:46 | |
Oh. Bianca Jagger goes there, doesn't she? | 0:15:46 | 0:15:50 | |
I think the best thing I can do is to go through the list. | 0:15:50 | 0:15:54 | |
Yes. What was she like? What sort of girl? | 0:15:54 | 0:15:58 | |
-French bread. -Oh. | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
Bloomers, two large. | 0:16:01 | 0:16:03 | |
What? Kept slipping down? If you go ice-skating, you will slip down. | 0:16:05 | 0:16:10 | |
And rolls for 20p. | 0:16:10 | 0:16:13 | |
She doesn't?! | 0:16:13 | 0:16:15 | |
What did you say her name was? | 0:16:17 | 0:16:20 | |
Hovis. | 0:16:20 | 0:16:22 | |
I think I know her. | 0:16:23 | 0:16:26 | |
-Isn't she pregnant at the moment, though? -No. No currant buns, dear. | 0:16:26 | 0:16:31 | |
No, no, they'd run out. | 0:16:31 | 0:16:34 | |
A tin of something for the cat. | 0:16:34 | 0:16:37 | |
It all sounds very fishy to me, old sport. Very fishy indeed. | 0:16:37 | 0:16:42 | |
-Did you say her parents are in oil? -Yes. The pilchards. | 0:16:42 | 0:16:47 | |
She sounds a right little raver. I don't know how she had the energy. | 0:16:47 | 0:16:52 | |
She said the milkman hadn't been round yet. | 0:16:52 | 0:16:56 | |
That would explain it, of course. | 0:16:56 | 0:16:59 | |
-What did you do? -I had to get sterilised. | 0:16:59 | 0:17:03 | |
Good God! | 0:17:04 | 0:17:07 | |
To be on the safe side, I'll put them in the fridge when I get back. | 0:17:07 | 0:17:13 | |
Rather you than me, old chap. | 0:17:13 | 0:17:15 | |
Now, where was I? | 0:17:15 | 0:17:18 | |
So she took you home and gave you a nightcap, did she? I say! | 0:17:18 | 0:17:23 | |
What sort? That sounds a bit of a poofy drink. | 0:17:23 | 0:17:27 | |
Well, it's all she had. Fairy Liquid. | 0:17:27 | 0:17:31 | |
Oh, she had bitter lemon and you had something stronger? | 0:17:31 | 0:17:35 | |
-Yes, three tins of curry powder. -Yes, just to keep you going, eh? | 0:17:35 | 0:17:40 | |
You lucky devil. What perfume was she wearing? Something exotic? | 0:17:40 | 0:17:46 | |
Salt and vinegar and smoky bacon. | 0:17:46 | 0:17:50 | |
-Making a pig of herself, was she? -Sorry, that was a mistake, dear. | 0:17:50 | 0:17:55 | |
-She was wearing a cross-your-heart bra? -I thought it said Oxo. | 0:17:55 | 0:17:59 | |
Oh, I see. | 0:17:59 | 0:18:02 | |
So you took the opportunity of having a quick... | 0:18:02 | 0:18:06 | |
Butcher's, yes, dear. Yes, I didn't forget the steaks. | 0:18:06 | 0:18:11 | |
You saw her do what to the bra? | 0:18:11 | 0:18:13 | |
Fillet. | 0:18:13 | 0:18:15 | |
With two portions of sirloin. | 0:18:18 | 0:18:20 | |
Yes, I made sure they were tender. | 0:18:22 | 0:18:24 | |
You had her sitting there, nicely on the boil. Then what did you do? | 0:18:24 | 0:18:30 | |
-I went across the road for some apples. -That is all you need. | 0:18:30 | 0:18:35 | |
-A dog leaping into your lap. -Yes, the crunchy sort with yellow skin. | 0:18:35 | 0:18:41 | |
-Golden retriever. -Golden delicious. | 0:18:41 | 0:18:43 | |
-I bet he bites. -And Cox's pippins. | 0:18:43 | 0:18:47 | |
Yes, I'm sure. What a terrible thing to happen. What did you say? | 0:18:50 | 0:18:56 | |
-My three minutes is up. I'll have to go, dear. -That's about all you COULD say. | 0:18:56 | 0:19:02 | |
You haven't told me what this girl does for a living. | 0:19:02 | 0:19:06 | |
She works at Sainsbury's? | 0:19:06 | 0:19:09 | |
-(Your champagne, darling. -That's for us, later.) | 0:19:09 | 0:19:13 | |
Simon, is this girl six foot, blonde, big blue eyes? | 0:19:13 | 0:19:18 | |
I'm going to be late. | 0:19:18 | 0:19:20 | |
I've got a fair bit to see to. | 0:19:20 | 0:19:23 | |
Forget it, Simon. Sorry, old sport. You've been short-changed. | 0:19:23 | 0:19:28 | |
By a little basket. | 0:19:28 | 0:19:31 | |
APPLAUSE | 0:19:31 | 0:19:34 | |
And so to our final sketch. | 0:19:40 | 0:19:43 | |
As always, a big musical finish in which we show our prowess at music. | 0:19:43 | 0:19:49 | |
He plays the drums and I play the cymbals. Just like infant school. | 0:19:49 | 0:19:53 | |
Except we were performing with a real band and having to march at the same time. | 0:19:53 | 0:20:00 | |
Oh, yes. They say the secret of comedy is timing. I don't think they mean this. | 0:20:00 | 0:20:06 | |

APPLAUSE | 0:26:33 | 0:26:37 | |
PROLONGED APPLAUSE, WHISTLING, CHEERING | 0:26:41 | 0:26:46 | |
Well, that was a lot of fun, Ronnie. | 0:26:50 | 0:26:54 | |
I loved it. Tricky bit at the end. | 0:26:54 | 0:26:56 | |
Yes, yes, I know. I did one crash too many. | 0:26:56 | 0:27:00 | |
And I thumped when I shouldn't have done. It's embarrassing when you do that, isn't it? | 0:27:00 | 0:27:07 | |
-That's the end of this week's show. We hoped you enjoyed it. -We did. | 0:27:07 | 0:27:12 | |
