Beloved TV comedian Ronnie Corbett died today, he was 85, and was working until the last couple of years when his health started to wain. Another 1970's British TV Icon has gone, but not forgotten.

My Dad loved watching "The Two Ronnies", especially their take on Gilbert and Sullivan!

They were a brilliant duo act.
A very sad piece of news today this.

They belonged to a bygone age when we seemed to have writers of comedy that was worth watching done by people who made them come alive. 'Are you being served' 'Allo, allo', Morcambe and Wise, The Benny Hill show, 'Dad's Army', 'Open All Hours'. They trip off the tongue and stir happy memories. There isn't much to point to now that compares. One of the few things that makes me laugh is 'Not Going Out'. The Two Ronnies were priceless and now both will be much missed.

What better way to pay a tribute than to watch the classic four candles right here.

Tom, spot on. Timeless comedy that can span generations. Innuendo a plenty but no need to resort to vulgarity. They were so in tune that the comedy was effortless. I'm getting old. Clearly. R.I.P.
