Classic jokes, one-liners and sketches from one of Britain's best-loved comedy duos
--This text refers to the

edition.
Product Description
For nearly twenty-five years, the two Ronnies were a TV institution, a much loved double-act but each with his own inimitable, individual appeal. Who could forget Ronnie Barker's hilarious pispronounciation, Mr Corbett's witty monologues, the risque limericks, the puns, the patter and the parody? So enjoy another fun-filled feast of verbal fireworks - inspired classic comedy from the two one-offs who said goodnight but not goodbye.

I don't need to say too much about this. Everything on it works. 'The Complete Rook' is my favourite sketch, despite the somewhat weak climax. You will laugh a lot, for the entire duration of both discs. And it's great to listen to time and time again. CLASSIC. GET IT.

LITTLE BOOK, BIG LAUGHS!
7 Feb 2007
Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
Collectors beware. If, like me, you already have all the Two Ronnies' joke books from the 1970s, plus Ronnie Barker's excellent anthology "All I Ever Wrote", then you really don't need this "best of" collection.
Still, it's a nice variety of material from their long running BBC TV series: their "news" jokes, sketches, and monologues, but, regrettably, NOT their musical parodies, perhaps for space reasons. Also, there's an unfortunate tendency to just pull random lines out of Ronnie Corbett's shaggy dog stories, spoiling the effect somewhat.
HOWEVER...If you judge it on its OWN merits...as a convenient, pocket-sized sampler and affectionate souvenir of the duo's comedy it's very good, and DEFINITELY very funny. A final GOOD night from "Me" (Ronnie Corbett) and "Him" (Ronnie Barker). Bless 'em.

The Two Ronnies

Format:Paperback|Amazon Verified Purchase
While I enjoyed this book, I found it fell short of the title description. Only some of the sketches were included and many were of the same type.
"The Two Ronnies" was a versatile series of acts and, had I not been around to see them on TV, I would think from the book that they had a limited range of comedy.
The delivery of the book was prompt and ahead of predicted date.
And it's goodnight from me
