The Two Ronnies Christmas Sketchbook – 2005
In their heyday The Two Ronnies Christmas shows were as much a part of Christmas as turkey.
In 2004 after Ronnie Barker: A Bafta Tribute, messrs Barker and Corbett paired up again for The Two Ronnies Sketchbook. It was obvious during the series that Barker was unwell, he appeared frail and had lost weight.
He was determined to give fans one last show and so on July 5th 2005, he teamed up with partner Ronnie Corbett for The Two Ronnies Christmas Sketchbook, a selection of their favourite Christmas sketches from previous shows.
