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. ( )

This is not really a biography of two men, but the story of a partnership. It gives a fascinating insight into the workings of a successful comedy partnership. Having grown up through the period when Messrs Corbett and Barker came to fame, this was absolutely gripping.
Beware, the end is harrowing as Ronnie Corbett explains how he watched Barker fade and die. Half a comedy duo can be the saddest of all entities: look at poor Ernie Wise after Eric's demise. The two Ronnies did always have a life separate from each other and so, it was not quite as bad as it might have been: still a two hankie read! ( )

You can't be in your thirties and above and not have a special place for the Two Ronnies in your heart. This is a perfect book for a trip down memory lane and some fascinating insights in to the process that went in to making the show, and how it fitted in to the rest of the two stars' lives.
The book is frequently very funny with some key scripts given in full, and Corbett manages to slip in a few typical meandering stories. It helps that you can't read it without hearing his distinctive Scottish voice.
If I had a criticism it would be that there is the occasional use of a bad pun here and there, and it could have done with some tighter editing as some of the sentences are a bit clumsy (not unlike this one!) It's not particularly deep and could be seen as just a sequence of anecdotes, but I don't think the hard-hitting psychoanalysis is required here - look elsewhere if you want that.
I read this in the space of a couple of 90-minute train journeys. It's a magnificent way of remembering a great double act and a fitting tribute to Ronnie Barker, a much-missed comic actor. ( )
