FLY2 10,108 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 I could never understand the need to show two men in bed together. Maybe it was just me being cynical in my formative years. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

Michael Booth 7,364 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 FLY2 mentioned the Two Ronnies and I remembered reading a book about Ronnie Corbett's life, written by Corbett. It was a really good read and he mentioned quite a lot about his time with Barker. Some double acts that I remember but not always my kind of humour are: Ant & Dec, Matt Lucas & David Walliams, Little & Large, Cannon & Ball, Frank Skinner & David Baddiel, Mike & Bernie Winters and Tony Hancock & Sid James.

FLY2 10,108 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 Hinge & Bracket were hilarious and way before their time. Ant & Dec are tolerable, but the rest..... Oh Michael I'm so sorry (that's all I bloody well seem to do nowadays, apologise to people) Mike & Bernie Winters...... Oh my God no. Horrendous. Hancock & James..... Not bad, but not a great fan of Sid I'm afraid. 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites

LizzieM 9,497 Posted March 9, 2016 Report Share Posted March 9, 2016 # 65. Shnorbitz was my sister-in-law's dog, she trained him to work with Bernie Winters, he became so attached to the dog that he adopted him in the end. 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
