Luvachicken Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Oh dear, another treasure has gone I used to love watching The Two Ronnies especially about the four candles Very sad what with Paul Daniels the other day too Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grandmashazzie Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 Yes Luvachicken,it nearly seems every week a part of our past disappears. I suppose if you are similar age to me, late 50s,it was really the start of Saturday night family entertainment and these people in some way touched our lives. My memory is good decent entertainment, Morecombe and Wise,Generation Game,Sunday Night at the Pallidium. All a bit dated now,but I have fond memories of my parents,sister and I watching these shows and wow,when we got colour TV how thrilled we were.

Fond memories of all gathering round the TV after Saturday supper watching all of the above; it was a real ritual. With each of these 'national treasures' that we lose It does feel as though my childhood is slipping further away. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Alis girls Posted March 31, 2016 Share Posted March 31, 2016 The jokes were a bit risque at times. Ronnie C seemed to love dressing up and hamming it up. Another one who remembers Sat night with affection. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luvachicken Posted March 31, 2016 Author Share Posted March 31, 2016 I was just saying to hubby earlier how all our childhood favourites are leaving us. I think I watched more telly than him as he doesn't remember some of the things I tell him. Sad world at the moment Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Valkyrie Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 It is indeed. Those shaggy dog stories while sitting in his chair "digressing". But my favourite will always be the morris dancers. That song!!! Priceless! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Groovychook Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Another sad loss I have fond childhood memories too... Saturday night TV used to be such a big family event! Just seen that Denise Robertson died today. I can't say that I've watched This Morning for many a moon but I remember her as such a kind and compassionate lady.

Alis girls Posted April 1, 2016 Share Posted April 1, 2016 Was listening to Jackie radio this morning (radio 2 had gone AWOL) and the DJ said worth watching the Ronnie C and Harry Enfield spoof. Can't do links but Google both names and watch YouTube. It's not as good as 4 candles but watchable. From 2010. Harry can't keep a straight face but Ronnie ever the professional kept a straight face.

They used this sketch on the news yesterday and it involves a real blackberry fruit being placed on the counter and Ronnie saying he couldn't get his blackberry to work It is a hilarious sketch and as soon as I saw it, I remembered watching it. Poor Denise from ITV too, never watched her but I get the impression she was very kind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
