There are many people that you could call a national treasure, but Eric and Ern are very, very high up that list. I am now very old, so I remember the 1960s shows on ITV with Dick Hills worry and Syd Green as writers, (and of course the magical 70s BBC shows.) And I saw them live back in the 1970s and Eric did his paperbag gag, (you just click your fingers obviously) and it was magical. But ‘that’s easy for you to say’ they were both brilliant lovely people.

Thanks for sharing - I’ve never seen this before. He seems much more serious here. Perhaps it’s because he’s without Ernie?… I imagine this is actually very similar to what the show was like in Tewksbury on the night he sadly passed away - an interview, where he’s prompted to reminisce. God bless him anyway. 40 years, and now reunited with his lovely Joan.

A lot of folks these days don't get M&W, they only know comedians who hone 'tight 5's' with killer punchlines which is fine even tho it's a culture that eats itself as it has to increasingly shock or overstep lines in order to stand out in the competition (early Frankie Boyle etc.), but M&W was a totally different creature, watching them was more like visiting a fun relative or friend, comfort in familiarity

My favourite M&W skit was when they go to meet Eric Porter, in his dressing room, so Ernie could ask Porter if he'd appear in his play (in a sense, a 'play within a play'). Morecambe and Porter were the perfect class foils to each other, with Wise having to act as uncomfortable mediator, all the while, fearing Morecambe would ruin it all--classic!: kzitem.info/news/bejne/s5qvm2qJmqtyln4si=fHCLOdeiDymud6tQ
