And it's goodnight from him
#TheTwoRonnies
Ronnie Barker attempts to buy fork handles from exasperated hardware shopkeeper Ronnie Corbett, in the iconic Two Ronnies sketch ‘Four Candles’ (1976).
Kate: “What’s the plan for the candles?”
Alice: “Well, Martha’s five, but I’ve only got one candle, so perhaps you could pop to the village shop for me and ask Susan for four candles?” #TheArchers #TheTwoRonnies

In the grand old British tradition of double entendre,sexual innuendo and just plain old schoolboy level smut.

Thank you, #TheArchers tweetalongers. That’s all we’ve got time for this evening, so it’s goodnight from me – and goodnight from him. Goodnight! #TheTwoRonnies
I grew up adoring these two, and I've just spent a delightful little afternoon sojourn down the rabbit hole.
Is comedy like this made anymore?

Reminds me of this short skit by the late-great #TheTwoRonnies 😀

The Two Ronnies on a pub set on TV.
Didnʼt enjoy these as much as Morecambe and Wise, but Iʼll take whatʼs on at the moment. (The Two Ronnies Christmas Special on #BBC4.) #TV #BBC #TheTwoRonnies
The old gags are always the best. #TheTwoRonnies 🤣😂

Four candles..... #thetworonnies
“Two across, they pack holes in your milk bottle tops. Four letters something something TS.”
“That’s a typical Sun clue that is.”
“Peck holes in milk bottle tops something something TS..BATS!”
“Bats?! Since when do bats peck holes in milk bottle tops?”

[Doctor Who spoilers.]
Best line from the #DoctorWho season finalé: 'So much for the two Ranis. Itʼs a good night from me.' I imagine youʼd have to be a certain age to get that one. #TheTwoRonnies
Non brits won't get it but this is legit out of context spoilers for Doctor Who
#doctorwho #thetworonnies
When one of the Two "Ranis" exits with the line "It's good night from me" and you wet yourself laughing - hopefully every younger fan has looked up the Two Ronnies by now. #DoctorWho #TheTwoRonnies
Re Doctor Who's most recent episode I've found myself thinking of Mrs Flood & The Rani as "The two Rani's".
Tell me RTD has thought about using a "well it's goodnight from me and it's goodnight from her". In the next episode. #Doctor-Who #TheRani #TheTwoRanis #TheTwoRonnies

Can't wait to see the reboot of this show! 😂 💙💙 #Whovian #TheTwoRanis #TheTwoRonnies #WhoSky
Depicted are Archie Panjabi as The Rani (the definite article so-to-speak) and Anita Dobson as a Rani. They're both incognito (à la Clark Kent glasses). The meme is captioned "The Two Ranis" superimposed over another image of their glasses in a typeface reminiscent of one used previously to promote The Two Ronnies show starring starring Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett.
I made this meme yesterday, but opted to give the #DoctorWho episode I'm parodying a self-imposed spoiler moratorium before sharing it publicly.
The joke practically writes itself, so I'm definitely not the first to make it, nor will I be the last.

My visual homage to 'The Two Ronnies' opening credits. A silhouette of Archie Panjabi and Anita Dobson as 'The Two Ranis' from Doctor Who.
It's "Shut" from her. And it's "Yes, ma'am" from her. Something silly I threw together. Possibly one for people of a certain age (👀). If only these two wore highly stylised spectacles. #DoctorWho #TheRani #Pastiche #Homage #TheTwoRonnies
