Ronnie's TV Compositions
- Screaming (1992) Sitcom by Carla Lane
- Every Second Counts (1986) Gameshow hosted by Paul Daniels.
- Three Up, Two Down (1985) [Theme] Sitcom with Michael Elphick and Angela Thorne
- Jack of Diamonds (1983) Sitcom with Dick Emery
- No place like Home (1983) Sitcom with William Gaunt
- By the Sea (1982) - Hour-long silent special with Messr Corbett & Barker
- Solo (1982) Ooooh - a Carla Lane comedy with the gorgeous Felicity. Music by Ronnie and Beethoven.
- Then Churchill Said to Me (1982) Sitcom with Frankie Howerd
- Sorry! (1981) [Theme] A lovely little rolling chord sequence (IV I V VImaj ), and a sound like no other - great arrangement. Apparently originally intended for a mid 1980s aborted soap opera.
- Roger Doesn't Live Here Anymore (1981) Sitcom written by John Fortune, starring Jonathon Price, Diane Fletcher and Michael Elphick.
- Only Fools and Horses (1981) [Theme Arr.] Ronnie composed the original music for the first series, but then the well-known John Sullivan song was adopted for the second and subsequent ones, with the first series being re-scored when repeated. Ronnie still did all the arrangements and incidentals though.
- Sink or Swim (1980) Sitcom with Peter Davison
- Shoestring (1980) - The "Lazy Daisy" music for one episode
- Yes, (Prime) Minister (1980) [Theme] Classic Jay/Lynn comedy with Paul Eddington and Nigel Hawthorne.
- To the Manor Born (1979) [Theme] Penelope Keith and Peter Bowles in a never-ending romcom.
- Blankety Blank (1977) [Theme] A gameshow. Kenny Everitt breaking Terry Wogan's wand. You remember.
- The Fall and Rise of Reginald Perrin (1976) [Theme]. "Dum dummm - dum dum dummm...Dum dummm - dum dum dummm...Dah dahhhhh da dee da da-da-da deeeee daaahhh". One of my favouries.
- I Didn't Know You Cared (1975) Sitcom with Robin Bailey, John Comer and Liz Smith.
- The Picnic (1975) Another Two Ronnies comedy short
- Wodehouse Playhouse (1975) (incidental music) PG Wodehouse tales starring John Alderton and Pauline Collins.
- Last of the Summer Wine (1973) Arrrggghhh. OK - this shows the genius of the man. Let's face it, it may not be a classic tune from a musical perspective. But of all Ronnie's pieces, this one passes the Old Grey Whistle Test better than any other. Major arpeggios and step-wise sequences all the way.
- Some Mothers Do 'Ave 'Em (1973) [Theme] Famously incorporating the show's title in Morse Code (obviously a big influence on Mr Phoulong). Apparently, Ronnie was paid £30 for this one, and knocked it up in a night. For £50, he would have done you a symphony...
- Dick Whittington (1972) - BBC Panto
- Are You Being Served (1972) [Theme] "Ground floor, stereotypes, risque gags and Wendy Richards - going up!" TV Cream says "Best thing was the experimental cash register theme tune which was way ahead of its time and pre-dated Pink Floyd's inferior 'Money' by at least two years."
- The Two Ronnies (1971) [Theme 1] [Theme 2] I can't find a better description than this, from sheetmusic@compuserve ."A note-for-note transcription of this famous British TV comedy show theme. It consists of three sections [Patched together by Ronnie for the BBC Soundtrack Album - Ed] : (i) the music to the opening credits, in typical funky 1970s style with rich chords and jazzy sax figures, (ii) a detective-theme type middle section, similar to Hawaii 5-0, and (iii) the music to the end credits, a fast two-beat theme with three big chords at the end (Eb6add9 - Db9 - C6add9)." Indeed - gotta love that descending 6/9 ending... brings back shivery memories of Diano Dors... And remember all those big musical numbers? All(?) Ronnie.
- The Liver Birds (1969) (incidental music) You askin'?
- It's a Knockout (1966) Yup - Ronnie does comedy sports themes!
- On the Margin (1966) Written by Alan Bennett
- Alice (1965) - A Dennis Potter TV Play.
