The BBC Collection

Morecambe and Wise are the greatest comedy double act ever to grace our TV screens. The fabulous mixture of sketches, musical numbers, insights into their 'home life' and the plays 'wot Ernie wrote' brought them audiences in the millions.

On stage they were living legends with Eric's raised eyebrows, Des O'Connor jibes and cheeky catchphrases putting every audience in the palm of their hands. And, of course, the stars - from Shirley Bassey and Elton John to Laurence Olivier and Glenda Jackson - lined up to join in the fun.

The BBC Collection includes nine series, five Christmas specials and features every memorable moment of Eric and Ernie's BBC career including the legendary Singin' in the Rain, the famous Andre Previn appearances and the acclaimed Breakfast Stripper sketch - as well as every shoulder-and-cheek slap, Luton Town reference and "Not Now Arthur!" in between.

Special Feature:
Series 3 contains the 1970 Golden Rose of Montreux Entry Entry Programme


Morecambe & Wise At Thames

The best-loved double act that Britain has ever produced, Morecambe and Wise were a staple part of British television for three decades and their festive specials as much a part of Christmas as turkey, tinsel and terrible pop songs!

The shows they made for Thames Television in the late '70s and early '80s were top-flight Light Entertainment, showcasing their mildly anarchic humour, impeccable sense of timing and keen eye for the absurd. Guest starring Terry Wogan, Hannah Gordon, Dave Prowse, Deryck Guyler, Gemma Craven, David Frost, Glenda Jackson, Donald Sinden, Judi Dench, Leonard Rossiter, and Alec Guinness, among many others, these fast-moving skits and musical parodies have lost none of their warmth and humour over the decades.

This six-disc set contains 26 editions of The Morecambe and Wise Show alongside all seven specials made for Thames Television, most unseen since their original transmission.

Running Time: 1030 minutes (approx.)
