Did Ronnie Corbett Buy Four Candles? - Would I Lie To You? Series 4 Episode 5 Preview - BBC One

[Dungarth]

..David Mitchell always looks at Ronnie Corbett as if to say '''..I love you Dad''

[F12Y14N25]

@Dungarth dum dum dummmmmmm

[CultureShockSix]

That voice.

I want that man to read me bed-time stories.

In a leather swivel chair.

And then go off on rants half-way through to liven up the story a little.

[robp2k11]

Corbett's delivery is still perfect

[silarnon]

Please give this the thumbs up, to get the bloody SPOILER off the top comment!

[Clarestovold]

I remember seeing the original sketch a long time ago when my dad showed me it, I couldn't stop laughing XD

[TBlenx1995]

Yeah Julian, coz all legends are true.

[Orberror404]

@TBlenx1995 They are based on the truth; myths are not true however.

[14192jn]

I think everyone deep down wanted it to be true, but kind of knew it wouldn't be, you know the old saying too good to be true.

JON BLAKE 1:1 BARACK OBAMA ALL THEM

[archernewb]

If I was Sir Ronnie Corbett, I would spend my retirement going into shops asking for four candles.

[TheJamieTringham]

I work in that shop (Addiscombe DIY), He comes in so often, literately, everyone is either quiet or just keeps cracking that joke!

[Queenofdeathandevil9]

I do not like the title of this- What if he was buying handles for forks??

[Pencilskickass]

Julian Clary is so creepy :|

[voon100]

I walked pass Ronnie last week in Wing Yip in Croydon.

[backthisway]

@voon100 .. ahaaa .. Well there YOU

have the advantage - because Ronnie saw you walk past him and he said "Who IS that? ".

[sandletters39]

@Lockedupbutstillfree - that's why 16th and settee almost sounded similar having already said that he was born on the 16th of September

[ArthurTheSensible]

If Ronnie Corbett "really wanted it to be true" why doesn't he just go into a shop and ask for four candles?

[danieldrhhall]

@ArthurTheSensible Because there'd probably be a lot of confusion over what he wanted.

[PanickyNine]

@ArthurTheSensible Well he might not want fourcandles. He might want forkhandles and is afraid that they'll think he wants fourcandles. Actually, maybe he really DID buy fourcandles, but the card specified forkhandles, which would make it a lie. Or, maybe he bought forkhandles but the card said fourcandles. Who knows?

[HSA1996]

what is the refference?

[GeneralGoosey]

@HSA1996 A sketch The Two Ronnies did.

[sandletters39]

I'm Virgo. I was born on the 21st. The other said: "I was born on the 16th of September". He later added that he was born on the settee, I replied: "Oh. So ypu were born on the 16th."

[tommos1]

this could be milked forever.

[tommos1]

i still havent figured out what he bought.

[LLOYD19851012]

He brought four candles to put on the end of fork handles.

[OktoberSunset]

It was clearly fase, cos why would anyone need to buy 4 candles these days? In fact, why would anyone ever need 4 candles? Just get a whole box. I doubt they even have candles in hardware shops. 

[smileclarenet]

@OktoberSunset Well it depends on the sort of candles. 

[gamewizard]

@OktoberSunset

For a 4 year old child's birthday cake?

[muffin8or]

@OktoberSunset

Maybe for a romantic date when the candelabra has room for 4 candles

[cesariojpn]

3 people only got fork handles.

[florencelovme]

Is Lee mack being an idiot or what.

[Elric33239]

Being an ignorant yank, I've never heard of this game show. I'm glad that David Mitchell was able to have his childhood dream. I would have asked him if he ever bought Raspberry Ripple-flavored Potato Crisps myself.

[DonToby123]

@Elric33239 lee mack had his child hood dream, David Mitchell was the one on the left of Corbett

[Elric33239]

@DonToby123 Thanks for the correction. As I said, I'm an ignorant yank who has never seen this show and, obviously, never seen the participants except for The Legendary Sir Ronnie Corbett OBE. This show reminds me of the classic US TV game show "To Tell The Truth."

[randompixie109]

Best....lineup...ever :)

[Izaak247]

Retards of course it's a fucking lie... Ugh

[123456785911]

so simple but so funny

[Wolfenman08]

Can someone explain this reference to me?

[worthasquirt1985]

@Wolfenman08 /watch?v=Cz2-ukrd2VQ&feature=r­elated

[TexiG]

@Wolfenman08 go and watch the two ronnies show

[Matty09Magic]

@Wolfenman08 on the two ronnies sketch show there wasone where ronnie barker was buying fork handles and ronnie corbett thought it was four candles, the sketch went from there with simalar things like a hose actually meaning O's, plastic letters. this turned into the sygniture two ronnies sketch remembered over all their others

[gamewizard]

@Wolfenman08

You're missing out on some great comedy if you don't understand the reference.

[herr0w]

[SupaDrogs]

[kyle1058]

[topbluffa1]

@kyle1058

lol at you... thats the whole point it can be either.



[K0K4NE]

2 people have no sense of humour 

[kash443]

I wanted this to be true with every fibre of my being!! lol

[cyanman123]

They were four candles

[gamewizard]

@cyanman123

Or were they fork 'andles?

[denisrenelara]

I came to USA and i absorb the culture and I like, because of the comedy. Now I want to go to UK and do the same. The guy from the "my blackberry is not working" is really funny. What is his name?

[Its0nMars]

@denisrenelara Ronnie Corbett XD

[veyronman]

@denisrenelara Ronnie Corbett. he's a comedy legend. Search for "The Two Ronnies"

[denisrenelara]

@veyronman I did.. it is hilarious

[Matty09Magic]

@denisrenelara the other guy from the blackberry sketch was harry enfield, part of harry and paul. he would normally be ronnie barker in the two ronnies but barker died so for a christmas special ronnie corbett used other comedians and called it the one ronnie in ronnie barkers memory

[TheSharewired]

four candles or fork handles

[skaterboiWA]

EDDIE IZZARD!!!!!!!! HE'S HERE!!!!

[dogsdoballet]

@skaterboiWA That's Julian Clary

[1Nickk1]

of course it was a lie. He didn't buy four candles. He brought fork handles

[TweekDash]

@1Nickk1 bought*

[matthonen]

@1Nickk1 bought

[Gr1mreaper101]

@1Nickk1 Where did he bring them?

[Bolderman2010]

YES YES YES AWESOME!!!!

[fro7k]

It was a lie... but the week before he DID go into a shop to buy fo'andles.

[BubbleAndSqueek100]

0:28 i really want to know who is he? He is proper funny but i dont know his name?:L

[NickDude555]

@BubbleAndSqueek100 He is called Lee Mack.

[botabara80]

Jo likes !!!!

[SonSkoji]

I wanted this to be true even more than Lee did.

[mjrdoctor]

is it just me or did Julian look suspiciously like Eddie Izzard there?

[tasteofcoda]

is that a man or a woman to the right of lee mack?

[The343Player]

@tasteofcoda Woman to left, man to the right.

[hrnt1]

Never grows old

[Triggerfinger98]

It's happening again!!!

[MassMurderMontageSs]

I want ronnie to live for ever :(

[SophieHarperIsMe]

This is the only week when I haven't wanted David's team to win. I love Ronnie but Sarah Millican is awful. She unfunny and when she talks her voice grates on me. Don't put her back on the show! =(

[dowling1981]

@SophieHarperIsMe Who is this silly little man?

[owaffs]

@SophieHarperIsMe

OMG someone who shares the same opinion as me!! :O

I wouldn't limit her ban to just this show though, I'd broaden it to include all TV shows.

[SophieHarperIsMe]

@owaffs Woo! I thought I was the only one who found her annoying.

I agree I just didn't want a backlash of 'oooh I like her.' Maybe just ban her from opening her mouth in general though. She can write everything down.

[livstar93]

@SophieHarperIsMe she is quite rude and hrash when shes trying to be funny really

[hansellius]

@SophieHarperIsMe Completely agree with you. She ruined an episode of Argumental for me as well. That said, in this show I'd have been stuck as I find Julian Clary oddly off-putting alot of the time as well...

[Unwin85]

@SophieHarperIsMe How right you are, yet she seems to be on every panel show going

[lamestguyintown]

shld be Sir Ronnie Corbett

[doctorwhofan17]

Aww shame it was a lie :)

[chrstphrw]

David Mitchell + Ronnie Corbett on same show = Mind = Blown

[denisrenelara]

@chrstphrw why?

[Threepwoodist]

@chrstphrw YOU = WRITING LIKE THAT = YOU = MORON = RETARD = FUCKING IDIOT.

[thelostpiranha]

@chrstphrw Must've been Rob Brydon's birthday or something.

[thundertid]

Poor Holly Walsh. Get well soon :(

[Pilkingtube]

I like Sarah Millican, she's funny :(

[iwantnovacaine]

At least the bitch next to David didn't say anything... I can't stand her.

[XxXHeavenElevenXxX]

@iwantnovacaine Oh yeah, is that Sarah Millican or somethin'? Yeah she's shite and her voice is annoying as hell ><

[DarthJedi2005remixes]

I work in Hombase, and if Ronnie Corbett had come up to me asking for "fourcandles / fork'andles" I would just wet my self laughing! SO disappointed this was a lie!

[dudedude270]

@DarthJedi2005remixes 2 ronnies did it too, bet he never heard the end of it

[joepane]

@DarthJedi2005remixes ruined it before i watched it! :L

[DarthJedi2005remixes]

@joepane Well, the moral of the story is watch the video before you read the comments! Sorry I slightly spoiled it for you, but it's kind of your own fault...
