I've gotten well into this lately. It's very funny; one of the clever-ist comedies ever written.
Discuss this fabulous sketch show here.

"Don't Quote Me", "The Vagabond Lover" and "Archaelogical Lesson" are by far the best I've ever seen. If I find my DVDs I'll see about getting a few sketches up on Youtube.

I found 'The Phantom Rasberry Blower of Old London Town' rather hilarious. As well as 'Four Candles' and 'Mastermind'

I absolute adore The Two Ronnies. I've been a great fan of the Late Ronnie Barker after seeing him in other comedies like PORRIDGE and OPEN ALL HOURS. The sketches in this show were extreamely well done, hilarious and never failed to dissapoint. (Well, if you count Corbett's rambling thoughts. That's where I find time to sleep!) BTW, for anyone who wants to see repeats of this series, I think they show them on ITV3 on Thursday nights at 9:00.

Barker > Corbett. Of course, I base this solely ( ) on having seen Porridge and Open All Hours and only read a book of some of the Two Ronnies' quips. I think my dad has a DVD somewhere...must try to find and watch it. The question must be asked...why can they not do comedy like they did in those times? It's goodnight from me...And it's goodnight from him.Goodnight

One of my favourite shows!
It's a shame there aren't much DVD releases for them, but in the UK they are still repeated on ITV 3
My favorites include Four Candles, Mastermind, Swedish Lesson and a couple of the musicals at the end which included them as cleaners and members of a brass band!

The Two Ronnies are great!!!
My favourite sketches are Four Candles, Mastermind, Swedish Lesson, The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town, and the one where Ronnie Barker is the leader of a secret society (I can't remember what its called, but he uses a duck-quacker throughout the sketch).

I think its safe to say that The Two Ronnies wil never die and never be beat. Its impossible to have favourite stekches with me. All their work is fantastic. Each and every single piece of it. In short, I'm bloody great big fan of them.

I think he was a wizard ( Warlock, I hear you cry!) in that one. I've got the clip where he reads the pictures on the board, telling a 'love' story on me hard drive. I can e-mail it to anyone who wants it. It's comedic genius! I can't spell any of the words I was going to use for this post! Idiotic or what?

I just watched the "Four Candles" sketch and I though it was brilliant. I loved Ronnie Barker in Open All Hours and I really need to see more of this series.

I particularly like the Cockney Rhyming Slang Sermon sketch:
