Previn Plays Greig Sketch

[@ukgolfa]

Laurel & Hardy, Morecambe & Wise; what more in comedy could you want...? Timeless. Thank you for the post.

[@kkraken409]

the untouchables....brilliant timing and writing...the classic..Morecambe and wise..thankyou..lads.

[@aribahombre2942]

THAT look of shock/horror on Andre Previn's face at 2:13 . Priceless . LOLOL

[@Skeffles]

thanx i lov morecamb and wise it was a nanna that told me and thanx again my favourtive is yr breafast one which i new about before

[@wanna316]

Just one amazing duo no one will ever replace them they might imotate but never replace

[@flashleadlegs]

Awesome! No swearing, No filth, just genius.

[@TheOriginalDalamanza]

I love the orchestra players cracking up after Eric says 'rubbish'

[@brothersrevenge532]

Two true gentlemen, absolute two of a kind.😁

[@dlamiss]

forget the dead parrot or fork handles THIS IS THE GREATEST COMEDY SKETCH EVER !!!

[@GerryMATW]

Beautiful moment

[@tonyisyourpal]

Later, they did a series of "I worked with Morecambe and Wise, and look what happened to me" mini sketches. Mr Privet/Preview/Previn appeared on the back of London bus dressed in a bus conductor's uniform, waving his baton. I think it's safe to say he doesn't mind that much :) And yes, this is the funniest TV sketch of all time, so far as I'm concerned !

[@jjo2]

One beautifully subtle joke in the sketch - Eric is in fact playing the right notes, in the right order, but in the wrong rhythm.

[@d60944]

Such a shame the full original appears to be unavailable to watch anywhere!

[@ukgolfa]

On the full version: "..hopefully you understand all these squiggly lines here.." Pissing my pants again after another re-visit...magical. (Full version in my comedy playlist)

[@pauldashwood2897]

If ever you need cheering up put this on ..magic

[@peteandurnot]

You should check them out. They were absolutely brilliant, still are.

[@peteandurnot]

I doubt he ever feels bad about that. Its a classic sketch, and I'm sure he feels glad to have been part of it. I'm sure it did his Career no damage whatsoever, most likely enhanced it.

[@Itsliz1984]

it's that look andre previn gives after Eric plays the piano lol

[@dozysplot]

Liz Ward yeah, Mr privit was brilliant in it too!!

[@schnozz87]

Eric's face at 2:30 is the absolute best bit...

[@pele28]

so, want to see the whole clip on here. Love it when Previn comes over to Eric looking aghast after he has played the wrong tune, and Eric asks him, 'Something wrong with the violins?' 'No, there's nothing wrong with the violins' he replies disdainfully.. 'Well that's only your opinion' deadpans Eric...Genius

[@musical_lolu4811]

WHO WANTS THE SHEET MUSIC of Andre Previn's improvisation there? Your responses/interest will determine whether I get around to making a transcription!

[@singinginachurch]

Love the look on Previn`s face at 2:15.

[@sixtysecondvlog]

I'm playing all the right notes!!! But not necessarily in the right order!!! *pmsl*

[@davidcole2078]

Pure genius

[@ysgol3]

Eric saying 'Is this the band ? ' always kills me.

[@petepsy]

Brilliant

[@CapitalBhoy78]

RIP GENIUSES OF COMEDY

[@isaacdavid1958]

The full sketch is available on dailymotion.

[@colinflockhart4996]

Daily motion

[@WyreForestBiker]

Does anyone know where the complete sketch can be found (with the couple of mins in front of the curtain before the orchestra is introduced) It is where the confusion over the name begins ( Previn / Preview / Privit) , and the reason for Eric having to stand in for Yehudi Menuhin is explained by Ernie ... ??

[@Freub]

Anybody able to tell me where I can get this on DVD ?

[@IThinkYouLookLarvely]

This "Top 50" was a few years ago, and a Little Britain sketch was at No.1. I'm sure that wouldn't be the case now, and this should be higher than No.16. Though it is my personal No.1.

[@xxxxnirvana]

Different class

[@bobbydazzler9482]

brillant

[@mercifulzeus01]

@TVloverXx I remember the show - number 1 was a Little Britain sketch. Who voted in this poll - Heat readers?

[@quas392]

ffs, I just want to watch the sketch, not what bloody people thought of it.

[@frankhogan7541]

go Here. Morecambe and Wise - Andre Previn (The full sketch)

[@frankhogan7541]

Frank Hogan

[@__PHIL__]

Frank Hogan Nope. The "Wonderful" BBC have blocked them. *Cough* Arseholes!!!

[@pluckyfella7]

Same here! I am trying to find the whole Morecambe and Wise's Singing In the Rain sketch and this one, only to find it "Blocked in your country due to copyright grounds". What!? I can't view a ENGLISH comedy duo in ENGLAND and yet they allow plentiful sketches of The Two Ronnies on here? What hypocrisy, a load of crap. Not happy.

[@tnimbus]

I so fuvcking hate the BBC for blocking the full sketch. Khunts to a man

[@lisabateman6989]

tnimbus work on your spelling sunbeam. Lol

[@A-R-17]

Thanks very much mate at least someone has now twigged the fact that the reason I said RUBBISh is because of what Morecambe said at the end, I am not mocking it because it is a great sketch

[@CleverDjembe]

Yes, it's GRIEG!

[@EddyGeorgeEddy]

Andre Previn is fantastic, especially considering that he only just learnt the script and that he isn't an actor

[@4205lr]

What ever happened to REAL comedy like this.

[@geoffgrainger7074]

If you want to see it in full try "Daily Motion"

[@oldaccount409]

Look at the orchestra at the end

[@danshaggy292]

This may sound like a stupid thing to ask, but...what's the Greig piece called?

[@davekemp3690]

danshaggy292 Hope you've found out in the last 10 years but it is the beginning of Grieg's Piano Concerto in A minor.

[@adec8875]

These are the right sketches but not necessarily in the right order

[@lisabateman6989]

Ade C good 'n! I never get tired of watching them, do you?

[@JanKopanski]

I came here from SCC312 slides.

[@WyreForestBiker]

Easily the greatest thing M&W ever did .. and Eric himself thought so too.

[@IThinkYouLookLarvely]

Only No. 16? These are definitely in the wrong order.

[@matthewstreets9662]

I am playing all the right notes. But not necessarily in the right order.

[@rigel5]

Eric's reaction and timing at the end when Mr. Previn stops playing is brilliant. "Rubbish!" Cracks me up every time! Good sketch but Ernie is surplus to requirements in this one. What's his point in this sketch? Would have been just as funny without him. It's quite obvious who the main man was in this double act.

[@Suprahampton]

@jkarani How on earth is that possible? You ask the british public what the greatest comedy sketch is & it'll be this, fork handles or dead parrot without fail

[@lisabateman6989]

Suprahampton I must have missed the memo then. By sheer numbers of fans, (half the country watched the Xmas show), the lads would win. Hands down! To millions of people, (me included), they felt like family. The people you mentioned were very funny. But if you asked, my guess is that nobody has ever said that they, "loved" the people that were in the shows you mentioned. I don't mean, "oh, I love the morecambe and wise show". I mean that, "oh, I love morecambe and wise". And they would mean it, probably even now. I do. X

[@redrum4100]

Watch on daileymotion... www.dailymotion.com/video/xl9sgf_morcambe-and-wise-andre-previn_fun

[@Suprahampton]

@jkarani LB was good the first 2 series... but thats when it should've been left. To me, the only funny thing about LB now is Tom Baker's announcements.

[@nrellis666]

@fiddymcegg10 Privet!

[@dabigfella6ft7]

they hide these classics because they are remade with changes by ant and dec , ie robbie williams with ant and dec copy andre revin sketch , king of the swingers copied by ant dec robbie , so on so on .

[@lisaholdsworth3665]

Simply not true. Every funny guy needs his foil, his straight man. They were pure comedy chemistry together.

[@patongaman]

Rubbish....... Brilliant

[@willomax4]

RUBBISH
