Morecambe and Wise singing "Side By Side"

[@lizfuller400]

Love you all. Really missed. When I am feeling down, only have to watch you both. Brilliant. Best comedy and scriptwriting ever.

[@petergoddard262]

Never see the likes of Morecambe and Wise again. Great comedy duo.

[@nuggetmcgraw3114]

I don't know why this is so funny but it works! Great harmonies.......I read somewhere that Roy castle and Eric Morecombe were very good friends in real life. Great to see three classic entertainers work their craft!

[@ajivins1]

Eric introduced Roy to his wife. Swings and roundabouts...

[@InACountryGarden]

So simple a sketch in its premise . . . yet SO funny! 😃 🤣 The duo of Morecambe & Wise are irreplaceable. Thankfully we have TV reruns of their shows, so we can see them still. 👌

[@earthwormjj]

I remember seeing this sketch as a child with my dad : ) ,. to me it will always be iconic !

[@moonbeam0013]

Absolutely hilarious, my favourite all time comedians, very sadly missed, thankyou for sharing. Happy New Year, best wishes, Margriet.

[@terrysmith7628]

my darling father passed 4 years ago today loved Morecambe and Wise and this was his theme song - a perfect match

[@marksullivansullybcs8340]

For your dad...... Great taste ❤️

[@Bermondseybob]

I cried laughing at this! It's even funnier because all three of them play it dead straight!

[@davidstuckey5108]

... with Roy Castle ... sadly missed and a great performer.

I love how Eric always finds himself with a self-rising chair :) I think this particular routine is the funniest XD so subtle! I love the "delayed" reaction of the audience.

[@BritishAlienCompany]

Today in class someone's chair was wobbling and they had to prop it up with a book. It raised them a few inches from the ground and it reminded me of this! Even more so when they book gave way and they came crashing down x

[@SidFortune]

I fell out of my chair watching and laughing at this clip.

[@johnking5174]

Eric and Ernie did this same routine again in 1979 for their Christmas edition, Glenda Jackson the one in the chair which moved up and down, much to her surprise and annoyance.

[@rafhenlow]

I doubt very much that Glenda was annoyed.

[@johnking5174]

No, I know she wasn't, I meant she kept character as if she was annoyed. It was all planned out for their 1979 Christmas talk show special, the year Eric had his major heart surgery and was not up to a full special, this sketch was re done.

[@rafhenlow]

Sorely missed, especially the plays 'Like what they were wrote'.

[@alexlazebat839]

seen this when they remade with glenda jackson

[@BasilMcDazzle]

thanks your so right it is the simplest thing that are the best :D

[@trudirosie4186]

So funny!

[@mamakurono7386]

😍👍

[@mcagbe]

Sorry Niiauyr Morecambe and Wise's TV shows were always filmed in front of an audience - that was genuine laughter. Part the reason they werent as successful in films was because there was no audience reaction to play off! But TV - always an audience

[@southwestsearch]

I really loved Morecambe and Wise! Unlike Benny Hill, no sexual suggestions.

[@Jason97D]

Shame you can't really hear the words over the laughs, but it's understandable! :-)

[@margaretlim6535]
