The Abridged Ronnies

Considerable amount of cuts on iPlayer

Yes, I noticed the Wham video was, you can tell the difference even in SD. Though the fact they were showing the old version 4:3 cropped to 16:9 wouldn't have helped the quality anyway seeing as you're...

Well, that *and* he's had you-know-what recently. Only right that Frank Bough was included in the In Memoriam segment - and a nice touch to end it with a few Peter Alliss quotes over the last few...

Channel 4 Christmas presentation

'The Clown'
