Eric Morecombe was a genius. As a family we watched the Morecombe and Wise Christmas show every year. It was bloody funny. Eric getting a hold of Andre Previn then slapping him on both cheeks was hilarious. Even his orchestra laughed. Classic TV.

We always watch the Christmas show as a family as well. My late dad used to cry with laughter at Eric and Ernie’s jokes and sketches! Christmases were never the same somehow after he died.

Mrs Batholomew died only a few weeks ago in our home town of Harpenden (village really). at the age of 96, packed out with celebs, just as at Eric's funeral. Eric & Ernie were, at one point, Joint Presidents of the British Beer Mat Collectors Society (in the 70s) - now not a lot of people know that?

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

I remember watching E&E as guests on a kids saturday morning show, swop shop or something. They were answering questions from the kids. One of them asked Eric 'What colour underpants do you wear?' After a short silence Eric said 'white, erm yes white' but then he said 'well their a bit grey at moment the wife's on holiday. None of the kids got it (thank god) but I swear I saw the camera shake.

Aw, Eric is so lovely here, sometimes he could I reckon be annoying in interviews, but here he clearly wanted a proper talk. Of course the ghastly Gloria hadn't prepared properly so the chance of the sort of wonderful conversation he, according to so many witnesses, had with Stan Stennett on stage the night he died in 1984, which was very very unfortunately not recorded, was missed.
