The Two Ronnies - Series 5 DVD

The classic BBC Comedy series starring Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett. Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett were an unlikely comedy team but their talents complemented each other perfectly in a series which would run for 16 years and become part of British television history. From their introduction, "And in a packed programme tonight..." to the "Goodnight from him", viewers would savour the familiar features - the opening and closing news items, the party sketches, the doctor's surgery set pieces, Ronnie Barker's word-play speeches, the rambling monologues from Ronnie Corbett and some magnificent musical pastiches.

This fifth series was broadcast in September and October 1976 and, many would claim, showcases the two comedians at their peak. Among these eight episodes you will find their most famous sketch, Fork Handles or "Annie Finkhouse", as well as such gems as Pismonuncers Unanimus, It's A Washout and Tomorrow's Kitchen. The series also featured the Spike Milligan penned serial The Phantom Raspberry Blower of Old London Town.
