A handwritten script of the classic Two Ronnies sketch has been sold at an auction.
The historic artefact went for £28,000 when it was put up for sale at East Bristol Auctions.
Ronnie Barker wrote the sketch using the pseudonym Gerald Wiley. It has been said that he used the pen name so that material he submitted did not get looked upon favourably because it was knopwn to be by Barker. It was only later that Wiley's true identity was discovered.

Well that was about as soppy as everyone expected Peter Kay's very last Car Share to be.
I did wonder for a moment if there was going to be an awful accident because John (Peter Kay) kept glancing at his phone or looking at Kayleigh (Sian Gibson). And in fact the episode did feature a smash, but not in the way I expected. It was caused by Kayleigh getting out of the car to save a hedgehog, causing the car behind to swerve and prang and then for the door of John's Fiat to be sliced off by a passing truck.
