Today's word is laughter. by seanoneill

Today's word is laughter.

People from the UK, of a certain age should get my tenuous link straight away here.

For this who don't get it, and I appreciate that there will be many, take 6 minutes out of your lives to watch what was recently voted the best British Comedy Sketch of all time.

Originally broadcast in 1976, this Two Ronnies sketch entitled Four Candles always makes me laugh, often so that tears roll down my face. I don't think anything will ever better this.

This is my first ever attempt at shooting candles, and it wasn't easy!!

Thank you to everyone for your comments and faves which have got my last 3 shots on the PP. I was also awarded my 1000th ever fave yesterday. I know that most of you will have many more than this, but as a personal milestone, I am thrilled. Thank you.
I'm not sure what age I should be but I got it!! I loved the two Ronnies when I was a child, well I still do, who doesn't?! Great idea for the word and nicely photographed.

@roachling Thanks Louise. Glad you got it. I am currently watching it again for about the 5th time today and I am still laughing!

Ha ha! Only 5 times? Not every Christmas special?

@fueast They broke the mould I think....I have a copy of the sketchbook with every Two Ronnies sketch in it, and it is well thumbed!!

Wonderful candle shot Sean, sooo enjoyed the two Rs......it's been a long time and still as good as ever!!
November 16th, 2012  
Brilliant Sean! Vintage comedy, never bettered. Remember The Phantom Raspberry Blower?? (the kids favourite). Your shot is superb!
November 16th, 2012  
@tishpics Yes, how can we forget, Charley Farley and Piggie Malone!! @ruthmouch Like a great wine, age has matured it Ruth!

How wonderful oh so much laughter they gave us but as you say this was one of the best.......very clever interpretation of the word and a brilliant compilation of your candle shot....Oooo so clever!!!

I do have that certain age, but I'm not from the UK. Despite missing that I can still see that this is a beautiful picture.

November 17th, 2012  
Fav! And yes, I'm of that certain age too when I remember, almost ad verbatim, the four candles sketch..... 'got any ose..... no O's!' Hilarious and this is a great interpretation of that while grappling with flame and WB!

Sean, you're a bad man!! Your office shot and comment about the in tray made me realise I have got loads to do today and i was about to scurry away to get on with things when i thought I'll just have a quick look here and but then this one delayed me even longer
November 23rd, 2012  
Hit the wrong button doh! I was going to finish by saying that "four candles" is definitely my fav comedy sketch, so thank you.....need to busy now :(
November 23rd, 2012
