Ronnie Barker and Ronnie Corbett met for the first time at the Buckstone Club in the Haymarket, London, where Ronnie Corbett was serving drinks between acting jobs. They were invited by David Frost to appear in his new show, The Frost Report, with John Cleese, but the pair's big break came when they filled in for a few minutes during a technical hitch at an awards ceremony in 1970. In the audience was Bill Cotton, the Head of Light Entertainment for the BBC, and Sir Paul Fox, the Controller of BBC1. Cotton was so impressed by the duo that he turned to Fox and asked "How would you like those two on your network?". As a result, Barker and Corbett were given their own show by the BBC.

Comedy for ELT - Pronunciation Problems
[To download a free worksheet (+ KEY + Script) just click here: https://app.box.com/s/ho4l2rezn639kq0012v5yh9xj53f6lop ]
What do you do when a customer walks into your shop and asks for 'cack' or for 'parri' -- or indeed for a 'pee'? A (very wealthy) Arab walks into the Mini Market. His wife has armed him with a shopping list (and asked him to run an errand for her later). But communication can be a problem as pronunciation is not that particular customer's forte... (Fortunately for the shop owner, his wife is there to help him. Despite his condescending attitude towards her, it seems she is twice as clever as he is...) Level: C1 -- C2. Topic: Shopping, Pronunciation. Taken from the BBC TV Series 'The Two Ronnies'.

Take me up when I fell down you're like the sunshine in the sky You are fine to have around It's plain to see, I'm satisfied People say, you're not good to me you're not wrong for loving me Don't lay me down Kind of things that in my life no one knows but you can guess my goal in life's to meet the rainbow Seems like things are never there People say, you're not good to me you're not wrong for loving me Don't lay me down Doo di doo doo di doo ...
