Ronnie Corbett interview

You say in the programme that you got your break relatively late - in your late 30s. Did you always have an ambition to be a comedian and if so, when were you first aware of it and what do you think sparked the desire in you to make people laugh?

I had a desire for comedy sparked by a youth club pantomime I did in Edinburgh. I played the wicked aunt and I was suddenly in an atmosphere that I found very comfortable. From that day on I was determined to have a go at it.

A lot of things happened in between because I did my national service in the air force for two years and worked for the civil service, but in the back of my mind there was always a desire to perhaps one day be a professional performer/entertainer/comedian.

You've had a long and successful career that has spanned a number of decades. What have been the highlights of your career?

It's very difficult to select highlights but obviously The Two Ronnies was a major part of British television during our lives. The Saturday night shows at that length, with their breadth of skills, design, writing and music was a major television show by any standards, so I would say my relationship with Ronnie Barker is the highlight of my career, and my spell with Danny La Rue is also very important. If you're talking about television though, it's definitely The Two Ronnies, Sorry!, No - That's Me Over Here!and various sitcoms along the way, but mainly The Two Ronnies.

Of course my extremely happy marriage is the spine of the whole thing. I have a happy, contended life with two lovely daughters, so that makes it all rather special.READ MORE=https://www.comedy.co.uk/tv/corbetts_comedy_britain/interview/ronnie_corbett/

Paul Daniels and Debbie McGee interview: 'We don’t mind when people make jokes about us'

On 17 March 2017, Paul Daniels died after a battle with terminal cancer. This interview with Daniels and his wife Debbie McGee was first published in October 2014.

Paul Daniels and the Lovely Debbie McGee are showing me a magic trick involving a pack of playing cards that, entre nous, I think will be a bit boring-snoring. I was hoping for a little legerdemain with the three white rabbits dozing in penthouse cages against the sitting-room wall. Or perhaps spooky hocus-pocus with the medical skeleton, lounging incongruously on one of the sumptuous cream sofas. 

But within moments I am laughing with delight at the cleverness and the verve and the showmanship; these guys are good. Better than good. It’s just we’ve forgotten. We’ve forgotten because they’re not cool.  They are cheesy and spangly. They are frilly-shirted and bow-tied up with a very different era of cosy Saturday night light entertainment, which began in 1979 and ceased abruptly in 1994 when The Paul Daniels Magic Show was axed by the BBC. 

“Years ago, I played a month in Vegas,” says Paul, thoughtfully. “They offered me a 10-year contract. I turned it down. I was asked to sign up for a year on Broadway. I turned that down, too. I’m a family guy, my =read more =http://www.telegraph.co.uk/theatre/actors/paul-daniels-and-debbie-mcgee-interview-we-dont-mind-when-people/
