I am so excited by this thread.
No pressure then,lol.
Next double act will be up soon ![]()
Fry & Laurie are coming ![]()
I have a fixed amount of acts I am talking about but I'm doing them 'in order' to try to show how British comedy and the double act have developed over the years. This is why I started in the 60s with Eric and Ernie. I have thought this shit out, you know......sort of ![]()
I was just too young to catch Morecambe and Wise, but my dad loved them
I only know of them through repeats, I'm not that old ![]()
Next entry up later today ![]()
Sorry No, I didn't mean to imply you were old ![]()
No, dude, I didn't mean you implied that, I was poking fun at myself ![]()
I was going to include that sketch but decided to stick to just Two Ronnies stuff, cheers Owen ![]()
Cheers for taking the time do these write up's Jimmy ![]()
Bugger all else to do, mate ![]()
I plan to do ten in total an it looks as though I am focusing mostly on sketch comedy for now. It is easier for clips.
Never seen anything of Little and Large. That second clip is quite charming. In the third clip, Eddie's guitar playing is almost bad enough to qualify as funny.
I have seen some clips of the Two Ronnies. I find them pretty funny.

Yeah, the things they could get away with at 7pm on a Saturday in the 80s. And you're right, that Rik Mayall sketch is largely improvised with the exception of the actors knowing when the hits are coming and whatnot. Mayall makes almost anything better.
I am writing the next entry now. As you can probably guess, I am focusing on acts that have had sketch shows as that is far easier for clips. Once these initial ten are done, I may do bonus ones for other duos ![]()
Oooh, bottom. Did you get that in the States?
French and Saunders continue to be well loved in the Commonwealth, too. Ab Fab / Vicar of Dibley are frequent re-runs here.
