The Two Ronnies by judithg

The Two Ronnies

I've been trying to think up an idea for a TV show that everybody will know but have ended up with a much-loved British comedy classic from the 1970's. This is my representation of the 'hardware shop' sketch - a work of word-play genius written by the late, great Ronnie Barker. I refers to garden forks not cutlery but they wouldn't fit in my pot!
If you've never seen it give yourself a happy Sunday!! http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jnJuqgTFwA0

PS I knew Picnik's 'heat map' would come in to its own one day and mega thanks for recent commenting - I really appreciate it!
Brilliant love love love that sketch :) ooooooooooooose lol

@halkia @ubobohobo Glad it translated - I wasn't sure if the accent would make sense!! That sketch is from 1976 & it's still funny!

Timeless comedy, great pic, interpretation and processing. They were just brilliant......you don't very often hear that people didn't like them!
August 7th, 2011  
Simply brilliant!! what a great shot - love the colours and light. I used to love the Two Ronnies!!
August 7th, 2011  
love the colours and post processing Judith. I don't need to follow the you tube link to the classic sketch :)
August 7th, 2011  
wow, very creative, wonderful shot!

Haven't seen the show you speak of but this is so creative! And I've been looking for an excuse to use heat map too:) I think I've managed to pull it off once on some extreme editing.

Came back to this again from the tv shows theme page....isn't it amazing that people haven't heard of the two ronnies.......I guess really their humour was so English it wouldn't really 'translate' that well.....esp the sketches they did singing silly/clever words!
August 8th, 2011  
Even though I don't know the show I really like this shot - love the heat map function! Maybe when I'm in Germany again and start missing Cambridge and England too much I'll watch the show.

@jannaellen I think you'd like them Janna because so many of their sketches, like this one, revolve around language.
August 8th, 2011  
Don`t know the show but I really like this pic, especially the "heat map" editing!
August 8th, 2011  
LOL thanks for the trip down memory lane, We used to love them, soooo funny.
August 9th, 2011  
Great shot! Fork'andles is a common phrase in our house. The boys asked once what we were on about and we found the sketch on Youtube to show them - still very funny - although watching it again, it does go on a bit long!
August 9th, 2011  
@helenmoss Yes it does start to struggle a bit!! He should have stopped after 'O's!
August 10th, 2011  
Lovely shot and colors are stunning.

Definitely a classic sketch by The Two Ronnies. I like your interpretation of it too. :)
