'.... the North is a goldmine of light entertainment material. I mean to use a lot of artists who are hardly known outside the region.'
As Head of Light Entertainment for ABC Television in 1960, Ronnie brought northern comedy to weekend national viewing.
In June 1962, he delivered a 'principles of comedy production' working document on script and production techniques for the Didsbury and Teddington studio centres.
This manual on comedy production covered:
Humour and the Humourist
The Basic Premise

His notes became the litmus test for a comedy script.
