Morecambe & Wise introduce Ian Carmichael

This is taken from their 3rd series with the BBC from 1970. It's the build up to Ernie's version of Frankenstein, and he introduces Ian who will be playing the Baron.
Eric is on great form here

Ian Carmichael was a lovely man and a great actor. Loved him in so many classic British movies.

[@paulredhead8603]

Sheer brilliance. Ian Carmichael, a true gentleman and marvellous actor, along with the utter perfection of the finest double act ever. (In my opinion).

[@stevengriffin7873]

A true hero too in Normandy in tanks.Always came across as dignified and sophisticated.Handsome dude too.

[@Tiger20001]

RIP Ian Carmichael. Great comic actor.

[@keithdavidson4723]

Three Titans of British culture. R.I.P. Eric, Ernie and Ian, and thank you for all the wonderful entertainment and many, many laughs 🙏🏻

[@elainemagson213]

Ian Carmichael - what a wonderful actor he was - and an utterly superb narrator of Lord Peter Winsey and PG Wodehouse. (And what a lovely man, too) As for Morecambe and Wise, they were the epitome of british comedy at its gentlest and most splendid.

that'll be wimsey tho.....

[@thephoenix3155]

Don’t forget Wind In The Willows with Michael Hordern and David Jason, as it was a phenomenal children’s cartoon! 😊

[@TheWanderingAngel]

Eric Morecambe was such a genius and he struck with such lightning precision.

[@jasonking6892]

Happy days 🇬🇧👍

[@sharonjones873]

I would love to have been in the audience for one of their shows.

[@edwardtait4285]

Love it. We´ve come to the right show. Amazing humour! Thanks so much.

[@michaelmouse4024]

Eric, Ernie, Ian Carmichael - aka Henry Palfrey and Stanley Windrush. Genius.

[@wenglishsal]

Not forgetting Ian as Bertie Wooster and as Lord Peter Wimsey.. Cracking actor and heartily missed as are Eric & Ernie .. Best wishes from Wales.

[@1stAngelArtsMagazine]

Iam Carmichael died peacefully on Friday at his home in the Esk Valley on the North York Moors. A wonderful actor with two fantastic comedians

[@colinfrance6926]

Eric and Ernie made it look so easy. That was part of their genius.

[@mikeowen7526]

Eric Ern and Hoagy have amazing chemistry 😂❤ I love how Ian laughs at the situation ❤️ ❤❤

[@parksyist]

He was in lots of 50s classic films

[@michaelmouse4024]

School for Scoundrels - also soooo good.

[@michaelmouse4024]

@@francis400 Indeed. Alistair Sim in Scrooge by Brian Desmond Hurst is one of the best British films, best Dickens adaptations and the 'best' Xmas film:in my humble opinion.

[@alanwitton5039]

Tea urn! Had me in stitches every time lmao 😂 😂

[@flaggerify]

I’m Alright Jack is a classic.

[@michaelmouse4024]

Can we mention 'School for Scoundrels' too? Brilliant film.

[@paullynton-green6570]

One of the best films l have ever seen.

[@susanhiggs4082]

They broke the mold Shen these two were born and then made the greatest double act they are sorely missed

[@happysue21]

I loved! Ian Carmichael in the intricate life of gerald c potter.....such the most amazing delicate and sublime comedy.... As for the other two in this.....anyone know who they are? They're quite good...could have a future.

[@splerth3771]

I say, jolly good show!

[@tanyaandelvis2698]

Superb in all ways

[@mikeowen7526]

I always wish Tommy Cooper Frankie Howerd Ronnie Barker and David Jason had been their guests 😊😊😊

[@johnking5174]

Tommy Cooper was in a locked contract with Thames Television, and so when they were at the BBC he could not appear. When they moved to Thames, Tommy was not interested in appearing with them, as he felt he would not suit their show.

[@sirdigbyminge1639]

You can get two years for that!

[@mikeowen7526]

Eric and Erns body language and one liners are amazing Any new comedians should watch E&Es shows 😂❤

[@ruperthennen]

@Tallis45 What is your book called? And where can I buy a copy? I am Ian Carmichael's grandson.

[@sirtinycreep]

Yeah, he was brilliant. Very sad.

Classic comedy

[@vantheman12welshman66]

Ant of Ant and Dec has definitely modelled himself on Eric Morecambe.

[@johnking5174]

Which I hate. He is simply copying the mannerisms of Eric. There is a difference between taking aspects of someone and styling it in your own way and just a pure copy act which Ant has done. Also, I don't think Eric would be amused with Ant.

[@scotty193]

@@johnking5174 I dont know how you can mention that pair of unfunny amateur bums in same sentence as Eric n Ernie.

[@MrDaiseymay]

@@johnking5174 Anton Deck ? I have NEVER, understood the apparent appeal, of those two frauds, utterly pathetic, and talent-less nobody's.

Well he forgot to model himself on the funny bits of Eric then.

[@mfjdv2020]

It's great but unfortunately the video keeps getting stuck ... any tips on how to avoid this??

[@johnking5174]

Even though this was very funny, I can understand why Eric and Ernie never really had huge success in America, as Eric's style of talking was way too fast. I found him at times hard to understand. He would need to slow down a tiny bit. They appeared on Ed Sullivan many times, but never ever adapted for the American audience, which was a mistake.
