Ronnie Barker’s Lines From My Grandfather’s Forehead Audiobook (Free)
Summary:
Here is a cornucopia of clever comedy, offering sketches, monologues, poems and tunes in this ‘sequential entertainment for radio’. Among the sketches, Mr Serpent, a sales rep in your garden of Eden, attempts to flog a knowledge training course to Eve (‘one bite and you’re a PhD’). A doctor has to give some bad news, but gets even more emotional compared to the patient, and there’s love among the road reports. There’s an exclusive interview with ‘Charlie Chaplin’, some lavatory humour (a sketch occur a manager’s washroom), how exactly to learn baby talk and ‘Evaluation Through the Looking-Glass’. A baptism causes naming problems, while among the music is definitely ‘What Am I LIKELY TO Do About You?’ (‘You’re like Everest with all its icy crags, I don’t believe I’ll overcome you somehow.’) Co-written by Gerald Wiley (the pseudonym used by Ronnie Barker), David Nobbs and Harold Pinter, this advanced cabaret-cum-sketch-show contains plenty of witty wordplay, and is vintage Ronnie Barker. Starring Ronnie Barker, with Terence Brady, Pauline Yates and Gordon Langford.
