Agreed. Without M&W being smartarsed about it, in this particular skit they demonstrate a not always obvious connection between comedy and choreography. They can each only succeed if served by near-perfect timing from the artists. Miss the beat and the performance collapses. M&W rarely missed a beat.

Very true, back in the day when a Christmas tv special truly meant something, and when tv was a communal event. I remember the first time they showed Jaws on tv pre video rental stores, no home computers, as you say you saw it or you didn't ... and Jaws was all anyone could talk about the next day. Bit like that Steve Davis - Dennis Taylor unbelievable snooker final, how a game of snooker could create such drama, an entire tournament comes down to the last ball and two great players, nerves in shreds. Finished at half past midnight and we all stayed up watching it and again next day that's all anyone was talking about ... "Did you see it? Unbelievable!" .. those days will never come again .. until Elon Musk lands on Mars that is!

Janet Webb is that lady that comes on and thanks you for watching 'her' show and saying ' I love you all'. It was a running gag for a couple of years. It happened one night at the end of the Bring me Sunshine song, and Janet pushed her way through and thanked everyone (It had been a joke set up by Eric) but the cameras had caught it, and it went down a storm. She appeared for a couple of years at the end, sometimes trying to start to sing her own song, but always cut off just before she started. Her appearances became fewer and fewer as she became ill, and she died at the very early age of 53. RIP to them all xxx

Two utter comic geniuses, plus also two very nice men. Nobody had a bad word to say about them. They'd get up to 30 million watching them. The entire country was mad on them. Their Christmas Day show was a national event. Everyone, including the royals, would gather at their TVs to watch it, and end up crying laughing. They were genuinely loved as two really lovely human beings. Sadly Eric, the tall one, had long time heart troubles and died in the 1980s. Ernie lived In think until 1999. Their shows still get watched. Gene Kelly particularly loved their Singing in the Rain. He roared laughing when it was shown to him, and said it was the best version he had ever seen. My generation were lucky to grow up watching Morecambe and Wise. It was an honour.

Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise had known each other since they were kids. They appeared on American tv in the 60s on the Edd Sullivan show. Eric Morecambe died from a heart attack on 28th May 1984 after coming off stage after appearing with another comedian, he was born on 14th May 1926. Ernie Wise died 21st March 1999, he was born on 27th November 1925. There was a programme on British satellite television presented by comedian Lenny Henry with Eric’s son Gary looking at The Morecambe and Wise Show with appearances from some of the people who appeared on the show including Angela Rippon. Jonathan Ross presented a programme looking at Morecambe and Wise appearances on American television.

If you love Singing in the Rain the Paddington Bear take on it is a must. It's TV gold. It was a childrens TV show based on novels about a bear from Peru who ends up in London and is found at Paddington Station. In this episode he goes to the movies for the first time and then comes out into the street and recreates the Singing in the Rain sequence. The Singing in the Rain sequence is recreated perfectly in stop motion animation. It's so funny seeing this teddy bear recreating this with all the dance steps.

You may also like their dance routine "Slaughter on Western Avenue". Towards the end, when Ernie is sliding down the bannister, he accidentally got a splinter; the camera catches his look of surprise, but he carried on with the routine regardless.

Morecambe and Wise were absolute national treasures in the UK, they were adored. Their 1978 Christmas special was viewed by 28 million people, when the population back then was 56 million. When I was a kid, I loved their scenes together "at home" together, where they shared a bed, they ate breakfast together, and celebrities used to pop round for a cuppa. They were like a old married couple who squabbled, but loved each other. Their chemistry together was unique, and they shone on stage together. Simple, innocent fun. You have to go back to Laurel and Hardy to capture a comedy partnership like them, IMO. When I was a kid, I could never understand Eric's paper bag trick! It got me every time!

Bring Me Sunshine was Eric and Ernie's song, their signature tune. Janet Ellis at the end, was a running gag. This is all you ever saw of her on the show. The idea came about following M&W's observation of English comedian, Ukulele player and film star George Formby - prolific in the 30's and 40's, and his stage act, whereby his wife would come on stage to take the curtain call, even though she had done nothing at all on stage! Ernie was quite a prolific dancer in his early years, and did at one time, seriously consider this as his career - not many mention his brilliant dancing skills in this piece.
