The Two Ronnies!

Last night Toby, Jenny, Mum and I joined Mark in London to see the filming of a new series by the Two Ronnies!
We met in the queue outside BBC Television Studios (White City) a mere hour before the doors opened. Once inside we were delighted to be told that there was a special surprise - the ticket numbers we were given at the door doubled as entries into a prize draw. On offer were 2 signed copies of Ronnie Barkers biography! Needless to say, we didn't win. But it was close, had we not pushed in to the queue with Mark the people behind us wouldn't have won. ;)

It was incredible to watch them together - bluffing their lines and laughing along to old Two Ronnies sketches we all watched on VT. They always made sure the audience were having a good time and that we knew what was happening.

It was a real experience and kind of odd to see such British comedy legends in the flesh - to see two people you've grown up watching on TV looking so much older and maybe a little frail (in the case of Ronnie B who reminded us all of Gramps!). But they've still got it...the tongue in cheek jokes, the fast paced wit and even faster paced monologues! It was a joy to be there and something I'll always be proud of.
