RaspberryLucozade Ronnie Corbett decided to celebrate his 80th birthday in style by heading this one off special dedicated especially to him - 'The One Ronnie'. No one could have thought for a second that the show was going to be brilliant. In fact, I very nearly did not tune in due to the fact that I am in all honesty not a great Ronnie Corbett fan, as well as the fact that some of Britain's most overrated comedians such as Matt Lucas, David Walliams and Miranda Hart were among the supporting cast.However, against my better judgement, I decided to watch. Now, it wasn't quite as bad as I had anticipated but all in all it wasn't far away from being awful. One annoying sketch had Catherine Tate as a barmaid not letting her customer finish sentences to a story he is trying to tell her. Corbett's armchair monologues ( used in 'The Two Ronnies' ) were also unwisely retained.There were some decent supporters though such as Robert Lindsay, Lionel Blair, Rob Bryden and Harry Enfield. Enfield did a good sketch with Ronnie in which Enfield was a greengrocer whilst Ronnie was a customer who complains about the quality of his fruit and veg as though they were electrical goods, for example.RONNIE: My apple isn't working!HARRY: Well, let's try booting it up. ( He kicks the apple up in the air, to which point we hear the sound of crashing ) Sorry, it's crashed!Not great stuff in any way but still better than what was on offer at the time. Ronnie Corbett died in 2016.
studioAT Ronnie Corbett more than deserved this one off tribute last Christmas and it was good to see so many of todays big name comedians getting involved to join in the fun.Not all the sketches as classics but there are more laughs in this half an hour show than there is in most of the BBC's sitcoms. The blackberry sketch in particular is this shows equivalent of the famous fork candles sketch.It is quality family entertainment as well and goodness knows there isn't enough of that at the the moment.Congratulations to all involved in the making of this festive treat that reminds us what a great talent Ronnie Corbett is.
