From their show in July 1969, Eric & Ernie with their guest star Peter Cushing show us their version of King Arthur and the knights of the round table

This is the sketch in which Peter Cushing had to wait years to be paid by the duo for performing in it. The joke ran for another 11 years, with Peter Cushing coming back on to the show constantly asking to be paid and always being fobbed off by the boys. It took until the 1980 Christmas Show on ITV before Peter got paid. Fantastic.

Peter then used the money to build the Death Star :) (yes I know that was in 1977, still worth a gag though)

for me ,Eric is the funniest man ever to appear on tv.The two of them make it look effortless.What a joy to have worked with them it must have been.Just priceless.

It amazes me that their delivery of their lines should sound so effortless and natural. And they really look like they're having fun rather than giving a well rehearsed performance. No wonder Peter Cushing kept coming back! :)

The fact that Peter Cushing got through this sketch without corpsing is a testament to his acting ability.

To get the late Great "Sir" Peter Cushing was a real coup, Peter seems to be having great time.

I love the bit at 07:15 where Ernie (as Merlin) is adding poison to Eric's goblet from the ring he's wearing, and as he's doing this the ring hits the edge of the goblet and makes a loud jangling sound. Eric then makes an identical sound by tapping another goblet at the same time. It's so very silly, it just makes me titter. :-)

Only the professional actORS could really do scenes with Eric and Ernie, their stage experience really shone through. Peter Cushing never got paid though did he?😊😏 Or did he? Bless you Eric and Ernie for all the laughs what you gave us. ❤

There's a not very well known fact about Peter Cushing that's evident in this. He had absolutely huge feet. When he played a villain in Star Wars he had to do it in carpet slippers because the costume boots didn't fit. How do I know that? He said so himself in a chat show
