    1 9 6 9 (UK)
    11 x 30 minute episodes

    This London Weekend Television production starred Ronnie Corbett in a series of sketches and comic capers of the kind he helped establish in the weekend Frost shows.

    The show was very glamorous and fast-moving in a Folies Bergere style – Ronnie was surrounded by eight dancers (‘The Corbettes’) and six showgirls known as ‘The Corbett Lovelies’ (Andrea Ward, Gillian Elvins, Penny Everton, Valerie Field, Gwendoline Brittane and Anne Chivers) – with lots of dancing, singing and comedy.

    Ronnie’s guests included Engelbert Humperdinck, Ronnie Barker, Roy Castle, Ray Barrett, Vikki Carr, The Kaye Sisters and Sandie Shaw.
