Well, unless one of them died this morning and I haven't heard about it
yet, they're both still alive. Of course, Ronnie B. retired a few years
back anyway, so the Two Ronnies haven't actually existed as an entity for
quite a while ...

Strange - Drop the Dead Donkey is a British comedy which is shot very close to
broadcast time so that the references to news items are extremely recent. It
strikes me that unless it is shown at the same time in Canada (very unlikely)
or is a Canadian-made copy (also unlikely) it must lose all its impact. Please
give details.

Funny why nobody has mentioned 'Mr Jolly lives next door'. After
all, the script was posted here just a short while ago...
(ok, so it was part of the Comic Strip which is mentioned above).

I also remember seeing a children tales thing he did on British
TV some year ago. He read tales like 'Rapunzel', in his very Mayallish

You haven't missed it because it's only about to start this weekend, but...

"That Alan B'stard series" is "The New Statesman", and as of this Sunday,

The head-to-heads are without doubt their best sketches. The one where Mel was
telling Griff about his trip to the Sperm Bank was superb!!
  Actually I only remembered about it when they showed a clip this afternoon on
that Plunder programme with Emma Freud. It was Clive Anderson's show BTW, and
the team had persuaded him to include some of his own writing, the Sperm Bank
sketch being it.
