The Two Ronnie's

[Chris Gilbert]

This week I have been enjoying some Two Ronnie repeats from 1980 and 1981 on ITV3.

I was surprised to see such a famous BBC show on an ITV station but pleased to see its some of their lesser known seasons that hardly ever get repeated anywhere else.

It made me wonder if all their seasons still exist?

I think their first season was 1971 or 1972 but have never seen any material from it.

Can anyone shed any light on this?

Yes, every episode of "The Two Ronnies" still exists. The first series was indeed in 1971. These days it's not that unusual for programmes made for one channel/organisation to be shown on another, though it's more often the other way round - i.e. ITV shows appearing on the BBC, such as "Thunderbirds", "The Prisoner" and "The Avengers".
