Comedy

One of Britain’s great character actors, Ronnie Barker stars in Lines from My Grandfather’s Forehead. The show consists of short comedy skits, funny songs, and monologues. It was quite different than anything other programs of its time, though it is somewhat reminiscent of the comedy on The Goons Show.

Often on Navy Lark, Ronnie and actor Jon Pertwee would often laugh so hard, they were paralyzed to do anything else. Everyone would stand around until they could regain their composure.
