Oh I miss watching Morecambe and Wise soooo much. These two, the Two Ronnies, Mike Yarwood and so many more. They were true comedians. We haven’t seen their like since and unfortunately never will again. Today’s ‘comedians’ (and I use the term loosely) can’t hold a candle to them. RIP to all the late greats of comedy. We miss you 😢
I love all the stage sets and props. So much hard work gone into the design and making of them just for a short skit. I wish we still had comedy like this.
Redcicada Lincoln…well, depending where you live, we still do have good comedy. One person’s experience (ie. yours) doesn’t make something generally true for everyone everywhere.
It became a real accolade for so many top actors and entertainers to appear with Eric and Ernie over the years. Just shows how popular they were, as were their shows.
i dont mean to be so off topic but does someone know of a way to log back into an instagram account? I was dumb forgot the account password. I love any help you can offer me.
I cannot watch Eric and Ernie without seeing Dad. He was the spitting image of Eric, and as funny. We always watched the show..They are both long gone now. When comedy was great.
It has been a pleasure watching this antique SitCom. Thank you for uploading it, senor 2Descaro. "Gentlemen this is Abdul. Abdul, this is gentlemen." Witty, silly, brilliant !
Such a joy. Timeless. Eric is just so effortlessly funny & having a blast. Town centres used to be dead when their shows aired & Xmas ones got 17million viewers.
Some estimates say that 28 million viewers watched their Xmas show in 1977. That would have been half of the entire British population. Unheard of today for any British TV show.
A good joke is funny, most people tell a good joke and make people laugh. But to actually be funny is something else altogether. Eric was a comedy genius and with Ernie by his side they were on top of the world
'boulder dash' - I just love how funny these guys were. Nothing beats good old British humour, that coming from a German that left his boring old country, full of arch conservative bureaucrats. There is a fine art to comedy, which some people will never get right.
(guest) Hello, George, So glad you like Morecambe and Wise.☺. They were very popular, for decades, and their shows are often repeated, especially at Christmas, etc. ☺🌹☺.
This was the sketch that introduced Eric & Ernie's dancing walk. They used it for the rest of their TV career, and for a while it became a part of British culture. To some of us of a certain age, it still is!
Percy Edwards, Shirley Bassey, Percy Thrower, Show of the Week, Weather Forecast, Close Down... We've been looking at a 14th Century BC Edition of the Radio Times
Seeing this now in HD quality, You can see why the BBC used the most expensive Tv Cameras available, so on the Tv Sets of the future, it would look like it was recorded yesterday. 👍🏻😀
It has recently been suggested that the artefacts in the tomb of king tut were smeared with toxic substances. These substances may have killed lord Carnarvon and others.
@TheRenaissanceman65 OK, try this. I was *_Wise,_* or rather _wise,_ (as in _earnest_ ) to what you posted _after_ I'd posted rather less _earnestly_ in reply to you. In essence I meant that I'd understood your response and I replied playing on the word _wise._ The difference I was underlining _originally_ was that *Shakespeare,* whose use of language I truly admire, would probably _never_ have used the facetious locution that *Ernie,* who I also admire, famously did (though I suspect it was *Eric's* idea - and I admire _him_ even more). *_Pterry_* would have known what I meant as would *P. G. Wodehouse* but, as I said, it's rather elliptical.
@TheRenaissanceman65 No. *Ernie* wrote many plays that are lost to history, attributed to such as *De Vere,* and many others that I know not wot of. Perhaps you could elucidate further. As I recall it *Ernie* wrote *_Macbeth,_* a truly wondrous play. Did he also write *_Loves' Labours Lost,_* a great political play according to *Barry Cryer?* *_ISIRTA_* nearly _rools_ but *_ISIHAC_* went further - but maybe only in _my_ opinion!
