Paw patrol

you will see me soon, that's the broom cupboard.

When i worked in Victoria Barracks in 1974 the Army doctor was a Dr Death.

Knew a shrink by the name of Brain, and a pathologist named Blood! Auto suggestion in choice of profession ? I wonder

one of my doctors was called Dr Stiff

I had surgery in the UK many years ago. The surgeon was named Mr Savage. Hes was wonderful

Reading Football Club once had a goalkeeper called Steve Death. He's dead.

Great British Comedies! I agree 100%!💐 But, with the other part, I disagree because many younger generations Never seen these comedies, they more interested in how to get ££££ and Nothing else, sadly...👈😪

👍 No they won't comedy today if you can call it comedy is boring

yes, because you are sitting on youtube instead of doing humor : D

Ad libbed? It was in the script.

How do you know? Have you worked with The Two Ronnies?

i think the fish drowned too

@@jourwalis-8875 I don't need to have; the bird fell out of the clock on purpose, and the line was in response to it.

@@MaskedMan66 The name-dropper bit was ad-libbed, I think.

“I’ll see myself out. No need to come down!” “No, I won’t. That’s the laundry chute.”

Just more of today's humourless little babies.

"Fast thinking improvisation" ? Was there no script at that time ?

It was a superb piece of ad libing, and picked up by Corbett like only a partner could! I'm so glad they kept it in 👍

So when Barker spontaneously laughed, was that in character, or a rare glimpse of the real Barker?

@@Strontyum l think you're barking up the wrong tree....

I stopped watching television over 10 years ago. Mind numbing garbage.

@@peternagy-im4be ha ha actually same with me here.. actually i stopped many longer than this. very little quality now; i dont know how reality TV like Big Brothers can be conisdered as entertainment

😂😂😂😂😂💦

I remembered that from first seeing this in the 1970s. Classic line delivered in true Ronnie Corbett style.

ha ha. "Cuckoo, dead on time". "plenty of time to kill" 😂

Paul Whitlock gg

Like COVID.

one of my doctors was called Dr Stiff

But he struck you afterwards?

@@jasonmcdaniel345 only with the bill !

Four Candles was one of those sketches like the Only Fools & Horses classics (falling through the bar and the chandelier scene): If you've never seen it before it's absolutely side-splittingly funny, but once you know what's coming, not so much so.

Ice cream shop is my favourite and it's not on youtube, I only have the memory. Barker showed his unbelievable talent in that sketch, wish it was up.

Eerily, they did mention someone called Grundy who died of an ingrowing toenail. Which was also the name of one of Shipman's victims.

😂

Even more unbelievable, how did he get an appointment with one of the few with English as his native tongue?

This particular doctor is registering new patients.😱

There were a few last minute cancellations.

Yes it was; a book featuring Two Ronnies sketches makes mention of that moment.

Brendan Richards Was that really ad-libbed? If so, that was a perfect recovery.

Definite adlib, you can tell by the way they looked at each other. Pure genius.

This was the result of a BBC initiative for young comedy writers to submit their ideas for sketches in exchange for £25 if it was turned into an actual sketch. Well £100 quid in all but since it was me and three mates then we got £25 each. That was good money in those days for a 14 year old. We submitted about thirty sketches to the Beeb and four of them were made and broadcast. Barker and Corbett improved on our original script immeasurably but kept that line of mine about the barometer and my friends' lines about the causes of death. Happy days.

According to the Two Ronnies book mentioned above, the sketch is credited to Garry Chambers. Maybe the BBC paid to use the sketch but got other writers to polish up a good idea.

if he's still around, you should send him this.

I missed that one! XD

Joel Gawne Really? So I take it you’re divorced? I mean, if you’re married, that statement is hypocritical and disrespectful to your wife. If you’re widowed your statement is plain crass. If you’re single then your statement is idiotic as you’re making a judgment on something you know nothing about.

Harold Shipman? 😂

Good old doc Shipman?

Can you rewrite that in English, please? No wonder nobody has answered your question!
