		When Mel Smith and Griff Rhys Jones spoofed 'The Two Ronnies' in a 'Not The Nine O'Clock News' sketch entitled 'The Two Ninnies', it didn't work because a) it wasn't funny and b) it was inaccurate.
		Ronnie Barker's beautifully crafted song parodies did not use words like 'titty' and 'bum', and never did.
		Its twenty years since the series ended (barring compilations) but 'The Two Ronnies' is still a joy to watch.

		The two of them in drag singing their "barnyard medley" and R. Corbett keeps slamming the piano lid down had me laughing so hard i was crying.
		The skit had Ronnie B as a news anchorman in the year 2001(!) and he was doing a live cross to a bomb explosion(!) in London.
		At the same time that The Two Ronnies was in its final few series, the BBC was also screening cutting-edge humour that had absolutely no respect or sympathy for long-standing sacred cows in light entertainment.

		Ronnie Corbett, the short one, specialised in characters that were quirky, annoying and flighty.
		Two of those are included in this package and just as they were the low point of each show, they are the low points of this otherwise amusing collection.
		Ronnie Barker, the stouter of the two, brought incredible talent to the duo by way of his clever word plays, amazing delivery of some incredibly wordy, twisted and amusing monologues and his impeccable timing.

		Throughout the course of the series, and beyond, The Two Ronnies' material was made available in print, on video and on LP's and cassettes.
		On the minus side, there are no pictures of the Ronnies and the illustrations are silly, kiddie joke book quality and take up space that could have been filled with more news.
		The first, "The Two Ronnies: Packed Programme", is a protracted episode of sketches from later in the series.

	SAY A PRAYER FOR TWO RONNIES CD Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
		Both Ronnies are unrepentant rockers, equally blessed with magnetic personalities, natural humor, and the innate ability to click with people from all walks of life.
		Dawson, originally marketed as Ronnie Dee, was on the verge of stardom when the payola scandal turned the record biz upside-down, and he quickly became another downsizing fatality as his label went into full mode retreat.
		Pure rock 'n' rollers swooned over the raw excitement of his comeback recordings, and those privileged to see him in the flesh and blood were rapturous in their praise (click on the commentary section of "www.ronniedawson.com" and you'll get the message).

	DVD Times - The Very Best Of The Two Ronnies
		The Two Ronnies are a comic duo that in their absence from the entertainment scene illustrate what is lacking from the current batch of British comedy.
		The Two Ronnies was a prime time BBC sketch show that lasted between 1971 and 1987 (a year before Barker retired) and became a firm favourite for comedy lovers across the nation.
		If you are a fan, this knocks the other Two Ronnies release for six in that it is double the length and is better quality in every department.

		Whilst it may not be laugh out loud funny, it is impossible not to be carried along by Ronnie C's affectionate memories of Ronnie B and be moved by the depth of their friendship which lasted over four decades.
		Both Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett were icons to me, not just because of their performances as comedy geniuses, but also because of their warmth and genuine personalities which shone through their bespectacled faces.
		Ronnie Corbett's deeply affectionate biography is an insightful, emotional and genuinely funny portrait of two of the most remarkable men in British comedy.

		Ronnie Corbett's equally accomplished solo spot was the sit down monologue, which showcased the diminutive Scot's near genius at going off on interminably convoluted tangents before finally delivering the gag's long awaited punchline.
		A full scale BBC retrospective was mounted in 1999, in which Ronnie Barker agreed, much to the delight of millions, to come out of retirement (albeit temporarily) to record some new "News" items which had famously opened and closed each show.
		During the Two Ronnies Night viewers were asked to vote for their favourite sketch and the one they ultimately opted for was the hilarious one set in a hardware shop, which opens with Barker asking for "Four candles".

	OFF THE TELLY: Reviews/2005/The Two Ronnies Sketchbook
		Every episode so far has begun with the pair studiously, if not pointedly, emphasising that what we're about to see is "warts and all" Two Ronnies: sketches in their entirety, not cut down to a particular isolated gag, or sequence, or highlight.
		This is all very well, and it's great to see both men held in such fond acclaim, but you sense they would receive the same kind of dizzying reception were they reciting numbers from a phone bill.
		Moreover, this kind of blanket acclaim doesn't seem to sit all that well with the pair, especially Ronnie Barker, who sometimes looks hugely ill at ease and befuddled at the whole enterprise.

	The Two Ronnies - Nostalgia Central
		The Two Ronnies firmly placed Ronnie Corbett and Ronnie Barker on the same level of popularity as that other great 70’s comedy duo Morecambe and Wise.
		The Worm That Turned was a misogynistic mini-drama within The Two Ronnies, about a world where women had taken over (Featuring Diana Dors as a woman Prime Minister - a concept we found laughable at the time!).
		It was a fairytale world where men were made to wear dresses, whilst the women walked around in leather shorts, thigh length boots and peaked caps and did the dominatrix thing - A mixture of reactionary political polemic and male sexual fantasy.

	SWAPATORIUM: The Best Of The Two Ronnies
		Not that they were in any sense competing or overshadowed - The Two Ronnies has long established its claim as one of the most successful British comedy shows of them all; safe, yes, but often very funny and of vast majority appeal.
		Whereas the latter played 'themselves' in all of their routines, the Ronnies performed as comedy character actors, slipping into a huge variety of different guises and personalities to execute their humour.
		Also, the Two Ronnies were not an established double-act per se, thus there was no 'funny-man/straightman' aspect to their relationship, both being capable of filling either (or neither) role.
