LITTLE BOOK, BIG LAUGHS!

Collectors beware. If, like me, you already have all the Two Ronnies' joke books from the 1970s, plus Ronnie Barker's excellent anthology "All I Ever Wrote", then you really don't need this "best of" collection. Still, it's a nice variety of material from their long running BBC TV series: their "news" jokes, sketches, and monologues, but, regrettably, NOT their musical parodies, perhaps for space reasons. Also, there's an unfortunate tendency to just pull random lines out of Ronnie Corbett's shaggy dog stories, spoiling the effect somewhat. HOWEVER...If you judge it on its OWN merits...as a convenient, pocket-sized sampler and affectionate souvenir of the duo's comedy it's very good, and DEFINITELY very funny. A final GOOD night from "Me" (Ronnie Corbett) and "Him" (Ronnie Barker). Bless 'em.
