The Two Ronnies : The Complete BBC Christmas Specials

Throughout the 1970s and 1980s, Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett’s magnificent partnership became a cherished British institution. Their Christmas Specials were particularly eagerly awaited and, for many, they were the highlight of festive television schedules. The 1987 Christmas Special proved to be The Two Ronnies last ever full show together, but by then they had left so many cherished memories.
The Christmas Specials features extra special guests – such as Elton John, David Essex and Elaine Paige – and great Christmas fun, as well as the regular Two Ronnies fare of the opening and closing news headlines, party, allotment and pub sketches and Ronnie Corbett’s shaggy dog monologues.
This collection will bring back all the memories of those shows including such highlights as Chas and Dave; The Milkman’s Christmas Address To The Nation; Christmas Day In The Yukon; Game For A Trial; The Tree – an Extra-Festival encounter of the Christmas Kind and Pinocchio II – Killer Doll.Synopsis
All the Christmas specials from the comedy sketch show that, in its heyday, was as much a British institution as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding.

Includes all the Christmas specials from 1971 to 1987.
