The Morecambe and Wise Christmas Special 1970 with guests Peter Cushing, Eric Porter, Edward Woodward, Nina van Pallandt, Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen, and William Franklyn.
Ah....Morecambe & Wise.....the Christmas Shows. Everyone in the UK would gather around the TV at Christmas to enjoy the show. These two were not just comedians, they were an institution in the UK. No smut, no swearing, but wonderfully timed and performed comedy. This takes me back to a time when there existed true comedy giants, and Morecambe & Wise were in that category. Nobody does comedy like this anymore, simply because they are not good enough to do it. These two were the best. Truly professional and from the old school of comedy. As good today as ever they were......timeless. RIP Morecambe & Wise, and thanks for all the laughs. You were and still are the best.

They really did bring so much joy. Like Tommy Cooper Eric and Ernie creased me up and still do. Their humor is timeless, classic. It was clean, clever and silly and so so funny. I watched the shows with my Mum and Dad, brothers and sisters - it was a family event. Forty seven years ago.

Our family jammed into the front room at my granny’s house and watched these Christmas specials. Just like the song title “ Magic Moments”.

We watched this as a family everyone around now all deceased except me I was 11 - it was my last xmas before secondary school, as I recall it was cold icey cold as i went out to play football as you did took sweaters off to make goals...life was as simple as this comedy, yet the timing of these guys was impeccable, don't make TV like this, clean honest not your bloody Alan Chatty man crap. Those were simple times still families lived close by, Nina was smoking hot!
