In its heyday, The Two Ronnies was as much a British institution as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. In a glorious blend of visual and verbal humour, each 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."
