It's Goodnight From Me... And It's Goodnight From Him! Barker and Corbett return for a third series of classic sketch show comedy; The Two Ronnies.
Keith and Kim Lussier are a childless couple who are given custody of a 3-month-old foster child Brittany. However tragedy strikes when Kim dies of cancer in the middle of the adoption process leaving Keith to fight for Brittany's custody alone.
In its heyday The Two Ronnies was as much a British institution as roast beef and Yorkshire pudding. In a glorious blend of visual and verbal humour a typical programme begins and ends with the pair seated behind a desk reading quick-fire 'news' reports. In between in a packed programme tonight there are sketches 'drama serials' musical routines and a rambling monologue from Ronnie Corbett before finally signing off with their famous catchphrase It's goodnight from me And it's goodnight from him.
Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett were an unlikely comedy team but their talents complemented each other perfectly in a series which ran for 16 years. The dynamite pairing of the Two Ronnies is captured here in all its glory for this eleventh series of the hugely popular sketch show.
The Sex and the City phenomenon continues in Series 3 of this outrageously addictive cult show. The four highly sexed thirtysomethings share their hopes, fears and even boyfriends (when Charlotte decides to throw a "used boyfriend party") in a New York where you can buy Manolo Blahniks on the proceeds of one article a week and eat mountains of junk food yet stay as thin as a pencil. But if the peripheral details remain somewhat fantastical, the searing honesty of the main storyline takes this third season to dramatic heights only suggested by the previous seasons. Carrie (Sarah Jessica Parker) falls head-over-heels for chunky furniture designer Aidan Joff (John Corbett) but still embarks on a disastrous affair with her newlywed ex, Mr Big (Chris Noth). The resulting triangle, set against the background of Charlotte's outwardly perfect marriage to Trey (Kyle MacLachlan), proves to be electrifying viewing. But the humour is as sharp as ever too: Samantha's run-in with her drag-queen prostitute neighbours, Miranda pretending to be an air stewardess so as not to frighten men away and one of Charlotte's boyfriends talking dirty to her in bed are all moments of great high comedy. It just gets better and better. --Warwick Thompson

Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett were an unlikely comedy team but their talents complemented each other perfectly in a series which ran for 16 years and became a part of British television history. This seventh series was broadcast between December 1978 and February 1979 and contains eight episodes of the usual hilarious fare. This comedy classic boasts extended sketches of Sid & Lily George & Edie; Ronnie Barker speaking on behalf of 'The Society for the Shy and Embarrassed'; Ronnie Corbett in The Last Mango in Paris as well as the famous 'Argentinean Racing Pigeon' and 'Bobby Charlton' sketches. Musical numbers included The North Acton Ladies Slimtastic Club and the Kamikaze Theatre Company and The Manhattan Transfer were the series regular guests. By this series a young David Renwick (One Foot in the Grave Jonathan Creek) had taken over responsibility for writing Ronnie Corbett's monologues from Spike Mullins meanwhile John Sullivan (Only Fools and Horses) was writing many of the Sid and George sketches (now accompanied by sketches featuring the Ronnies as their wives Lily and Edie) . In a glorious blend of visual and verbal humour; a typical programme begins and ends with the pair seated behind a desk reading quick-fire 'news' reports. In between in a packed programme tonight there are sketches 'drama serials' musical routines and a rambling monologue from Ronnie Corbett before finally signing off with their famous catchphrase It's goodnight from me' 'And it's goodnight from him.
The second volume of The Very Best of Steptoe and Son contains five excellent episodes from the classic sitcom scripted by Ray Galton and Alan Simpson, who created Steptoe when Tony Hancock dispensed with their services in the early 1960s. The story of the acerbic but hopelessly pretentious Harold, would-be man about town longing in vain to escape from his rag-and-bone yard existence and his "dirty old man" of a father, is one of Britain's greatest sitcoms. Its underlying sadness somehow makes it all the funnier. "The Bath" is in black and white and features a wonderfully disgusting sequence of old man Albert retrieving pickled onions from his bathwater and putting them back in the jar. The other four episodes are from the 1970s and in colour: "Séance in a Wet Rag and Bone Yard" features a young Patricia Routledge as a bogus medium. "Porn Yesterday" has Harold outraged to discover that the young Albert once starred in a "What the Butler Saw" feature. "And So to Bed" has Harold buying a waterbed to impress a new "bird" and having his romantic hopes literally punctured by his old man. The wonderful "Upstairs Downstairs, Upstairs, Downstairs" has the put-upon Harold getting the better of his dad for once when he discovers that the "perpendicular ponce" is feigning a back injury to keep Harold at his beck and call and plans an excruciating revenge--a bed bath. There's only one shortcoming: completists would prefer these old episodes to be issued chronologically and in full rather than in selective "Best of" compilations. On the DVD: The Very Best of Steptoe and Son episodes are presented in the format in which they were originally shown and all hold up well without any great efforts at enhancement. There are no extras. --David Stubbs
