The Two Ronnies: Series 7

Vereinigte Königreich Edition, PAL/Region 2.4 DVD: TON: Englisch ( Dolby Digital 2.0 ), Englisch ( Untertitel ), BONUSMATERIAL: Satz 2-DVD, Szene Zugang, Wechselwirkendes Menü, SYNOPSIS: Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett were an unlikely comedy team but their talents complemented each other perfectly in a series which ran for 16 years and became a part of British television history. This seventh series was broadcast between December 1978 and February 1979 and contains eight episodes of the usual hilarious fare. This comedy classic boasts extended sketches of Sid & Lily, George & Edie; Ronnie Barker speaking on behalf of 'The Society for the Shy and Embarrassed'; Ronnie Corbett in The Last Mango in Paris as well as the famous 'Argentinean Racing Pigeon' and 'Bobby Charlton' sketches. Musical numbers included The North Acton Ladies Slimtastic Club and the Kamikaze Theatre Company and The Manhattan Transfer were the series regular guests. By this series, a young David Renwick (One Foot in the Grave, Jonathan Creek) had taken over responsibility for writing Ronnie Corbett's monologues from Spike Mullins, meanwhile John Sullivan (Only Fools and Horses) was writing many of the Sid and George sketches (now accompanied by sketches featuring the Ronnies as their wives Lily and Edie). In a glorious blend of visual and verbal humour; a typical programme begins and ends with the pair seated behind a desk reading quick-fire 'news' reports. In between, "in a packed programme tonight", there are sketches, 'drama serials', musical routines and a rambling monologue from Ronnie Corbett, before finally signing off with their famous catchphrase, "It's goodnight from me', 'And it's goodnight from him."
