The Two Ronnies: But First the News

The pick of the ‘news items’ that became such a trade-mark of the Two Ronnies show, illustrated with more than twenty cartoons. 


‘Obviously, I remember with affection some of the gags — the elephant doing a ton on the M1; the contortionist who had come from Australia to look up his relatives; and the stunt-man who fell sixty feet, landing on Raquel Welch (his condition was described later as extremely comfortable), but for the most part they had "flowed away down the dark stream of memory" as Lionel Blair once put it. What a treat, then, to sample them once again in this splendid and rib-tickling selection. I hope you enjoy them as much as I did.’ RONNIE BARKER
