Ronnie Corbett and Henry McGee, not only neighbours but office colleagues too.

Ronnie (Ronnie Corbett) and Laura (Rosemary Leach) live in "Suburbia" and commutes into the city every day with his work colleague and neighbour Henry (Henry McGee). Henry plays a rather superior character and the shows revolve around Ronnie trying to outwit and outdo Henry....and usually failing.

"No - That's me Over Here!" first two series were produced by Redifusion (Black & White) and London Weekend Television (LWT) produced the third series (in colour)  when Redifusion lost its franchise. Main writers were Barry Cryer and Graham Chapman, with the first series also being co-written by Eric Idle.
