The Two Ronnies Series Five (1976) The first sketch of, in my eyes, The Two Ronnies' finest series. I do not own the contents of this video. No copyright infringement intended.
This is how comedy is done!! Excellent from start to finish.

"Name dropper" a brilliant piece of fast thinking improvisation there, improvised right up to when Ronnie Barker says "Three drops a day in your ear" during performing in front of a live Audience and left in after filming and editing. You can tell it's improvised because he gives everyone a clue by saying, "Name dropper, I'll write that down", because it was good Ans something to maybe use in another sketch.

This was the result of a BBC initiative for young comedy writers to submit their ideas for sketches in exchange for £25 if it was turned into an actual sketch. Well £100 quid in all but since it was me and three mates then we got £25 each. That was good money in those days for a 14 year old. We submitted about thirty sketches to the Beeb and four of them were made and broadcast. Barker and Corbett improved on our original script immeasurably but kept that line of mine about the barometer and my friends' lines about the causes of death. Happy days.
