Rezensionen

Despite many of the gags now being quite dated, the content holds up reasonably well. Not quite the same as watching the delivery from the two masters of comedy, however reading through it I can picture them in my head.
A very quick and enjoyable read reminding me of 1970s & 80s British comedy.

Really nice book. Like the way it was written with no focus on scandal or disagreements. Corbett seemed to blame himself for any problems.

Very sensitive to the memory of Ronnie Barker, particularly in the final chapters.

Liked the inclusion of extracts from the shows and sketches. Especially after watching the complete TV series. Also liked all the photos.

Very funny book, rather in the style of one of Ronnie Corbett's monolgues from the show. A lot of factual information about both ronnies and the show also lies between the amusing anacedotes. I would recommend it to anyone who likes The Two Ronnies, or fancies a good laugh.

It is nice to read the biography of a comedian without a tortured past. Ronnie Corbett is obviously one of those people who remembers the sunny days of summer and forgets the rainy ones.
This book is uniquely Ronnie Corbett: every line has his distinctive vocal lilt and there are a few nuggets, particularly concerning his long standing professional relationship with Ronnie Barker. The friendship, which looked so close on stage and screen, was not so away from the bright lights and grease paint: not, that they were enemies, they simply lead their own lives.
I mostly approve of Corbett's sunny view of life but, I would have been interested to read more about the ear infection which affected his balance and lead to ten years of pre-show fear.
A pleasant book about a pleasant man.
