Fork Handles: The Bery Vest of Ronnie Barker

Loved by millions and collected here for the first time is the very best of Ronnie Barker’s classic sketches, monologues, songs, and, of course, the brilliant 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," "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.

All I Ever Wrote: The Complete Works

Ronnie Barker has long been known as one of Britain’s greatest comedy performers. But he was also responsible for writing much of the material he performed, often hiding the fact from the public by using a number of pen names. Showcasing the complete work of a true comic icon, All I Ever Wrote is a laugh-out-loud collection of sketches, monologues, songs, poems, and scripts from every strand of Ronnie’s long and brilliant career. With gems like "Fork Handle’s," "Three Classes," and "Frost on Sunday," Ronnie’s clever writing, double entendres and spoonerisms will bring a smile to your face, as you rediscover some of the 20th century’s finest comedy moments.

What a lot of people don't know is that Ronnie Barker was responsible for writing most of the material he performed - whether solo, with Ronnie Corbett or in sitcom. The fact that he often hid behind a number of pen names may explain this... Ronnie is already loved by millions for his roles in Porridge, Open All Hours and that perennial worldwide hit, The Two Ronnies (which ran to 12 series). But now you can discover for yourself the wealth of his talent, from his early radio and Frost on Sunday sketches to classic monologues and the immortal songs, his (almost) silent films - including Futtock's End - to his final sitcom, Clarence, the play Mum and the previously unseen Rub a Dub Dub (Two Men in a Pub). You can't even look at this book without a smile coming to your face; open it up and you may never stop laughing.
