High Hopes
A true great of British comedy, Ronald ‘Ronnie’ Corbett, is hailed as one of the finest comedians of his generation. Son of an Edinburgh baker, Ronnie rose to fame as one half of the infamous Two Ronnies alongside Ronnie Barker. Known for his versatility, quick-wit, family-friendly dialogue, and meandering monologues, Corbett was a staple of British television for more than 50 years. In his autobiography, he tells the complete story, from his school technique of estimating the height of a girl before daring to ask her to dance, to his days as a night club barman in London, and finally, to his decades long career as a stand-up and sitcom star. Including tales of how he first met David Frost, John Cleese and Michael Palin, this book is written with all of Ronnie’s trademark warmth and wit. Celebrating his life and career, this is Ronnie’s own honest and definitive account of his truly dramatic journey.

Here collected together for the first time is the very best of the Two Ronnies' immaculately crafted material. From their opening But First the News jokes to their classic two-hander sketches, Ronnies Barker's hilarious speeches and monologues and Ronnie Corbett's shaggy-dog tales in 'the chair'- invariably involving his producer somewhere along the line.

Fork Handles
A selection of Ronnie Barker's writing, including monologues, sketches and songs.
Fork Handles
Loved by millions and collected here for the first time are the very best of Ronnie Barker’s classic sketches, monologues, songs, and, of course, the fantastic two-handers that he wrote for The Two Ronnies. Celebrating his genius for comic wordplay, this wonderful collection includes "Pismonouncers Unanimous," "An Appeal for Women," and "Swedish for Beginners," and the nation’s favorite sketch, "Fork Handles." As talented a writer as he was performer, Ronnie Barker was behind the best known Two Ronnies’ material. His comedy writing was so prolific that he began using the pseudonym Gerald Wiley while working on Frost on Sunday, which he continued when making The Two Ronnies, so eager was he to ensure that his writing was judged on its merit alone. Showcasing the work of a true comic icon, and one of the best writers and comedians of the twentieth century, Fork Handles is every bit as warm and funny as Ronnie Barker himself. With a foreword by Ronnie Corbett.
