I used to watch morecambe and wise when I was a child..I laughed..even now I still love morecambe and wise gone but never forgotten they have made their marks on the world eg no one turned a hair when scenes when they were both in bed..
I heard Eric was initially unsure about the bed thing, but, when told it was good enough for Laurel and Hardy (who also did it), Eric's reticence fell away.
@@patpending8134 As a kid in the 70s you never thought about stuff like that also I didn't question what my gender was unlike youngsters today. Can you imagine going into school and saying your a non binary hairless cat you would of been caned sent home and smacked by your dad for being bloody stupid 🤣
Not particularly "revealing". It is fairly well documented that Eric often stressed about his performances, had heart troubles and three heart attacks, the third sadly killed him.
Don't forget it's an American doing this and has no idea anything about Eric apart from what he's researched trying to find some exclusive information, then making it seem its exclusive when he couldn't find any.
If Eric had done what he originally wanted to do , after his first two heart attacks, which was retire to his home, rest and write books, he might have lived a little longer. But he felt a duty to return and assist his longtime 'short fat hairy friend' . Either way his eternal foul log of a pipe was stuck in his gob.....
@@degsbabe It says he smoked 60 a day here. Not helpful for a bad heart. Did he give them up after the attacks, or just keep smoking? Tommy Cooper was the same I think.
@@sidneygreen9120 I read an article before the play off final that said the PL were looking at the facilities at Kennilworth Road but the ground just couldn't accommodate all the film crews required for live PL broadcasts.
Ant and Dec get the award every year for best comedy duo now Eric and Ernie are no more, just goes to show what a total load of crap there is nowadays, Ant & Dec are about as amusing as piles, maybe not even as amusing as that....RIP DEAR ERIC AND ERNIE...
Personally, I think ant and dec, are overrated..they are just doing what morecambe and wise, noel Edmunds, done years ago, them two have no one to challenge them..
It is VERY common for comedians to die of heart attacks. Henry Cooper died on stage and Ronnie Barkers cell mate in porridge died at a very young age, Richard Beckinsale, who's daughter Kate is the spitting image of him.
What do you mean, his son is finally ready to tell the truth? He has written loads of books about his dad and all his fans know all this already. Eric Morecambe will never be forgotten. This video is a waste of time.
Omg there's something wrong with you they are legends the so called comedians of today are rubbish their the ones getting away with murder Morecombe and wise were wonderful very talented and absolutely funny you must be young to think this they are truly missed 😢😢😢
I thought they were brilliant I watched them as a child, then as a teenager followed by a young adult. It was good clean fun the shows done by Ernie was the finale. It always had a big star totality out of their comfort zone. All the jokes about Des O’Conner were endless. I vividly remember Glenda Jackson, Andra Previn who stood out as big stars prepared to be upstaged by the two of them. All those jokes from them while in bed together. No one thought anything about it lol
If you grew up in the 60s and 70s and watched television, its unlikely you would have missed them. And if you enjoyed their comedy, there are too many "good bits" to single out one piece of comic genius above the rest,
When growing up watching morecambe and wise shows was the best thing on TV and the movies they made you can't just pick one they where all amazing if I had to pick one it would be with andra previn it doesn't seem 40 years since his passing
I think you'll find it was November the 8th 1978 not 68 performing all through the 60s and the 70s tragically before he died a legend will never be forgotten fantastic comedy
If Eric worried about being forgotten he needn't have.
You don't forget legends.
Well said I'm one of many who feels this way
We all knew this. Xmas isn’t the same without Morecambe and wise Xmas specials. 😊
Every Christmas I still watch their shows on TH-cam - never old, always funny !
Bring me sunshine in your smile...
My favourite memory has to be the Andre Preview...Erm sorry...Previn...sketch.
Me too. For me it's the best sketch ever made xxx ❤😂
😂 awesome sketch 😅😅😅😊
Tried to find it but YT removed it.
I was just eighteen months old when the Andre Previn sketch aired and didn't see it for some years!
I used to watch morecambe and wise when I was a child..I laughed..even now I still love morecambe and wise gone but never forgotten they have made their marks on the world eg no one turned a hair when scenes when they were both in bed..
Same here, and we never gave it a thought about doing scenes with two men sharing a bed.

@@patpending8134 True. Eddie Braben convinced Eric with that.👍

Well he's certainly got no worries on people forgetting him that's for sure....he was brilliantly funny, as was ernie❤
He will be happy about Luton Town yesterday 👍😉
Only if the PL allow them to use their sub standard stadium to be a PL stadium. Always a chance they won't be allowed into the PL.
@@MickCampin-jp9kb interesting 🤔

Not even remotely close to Eric and Ernie 🙄 there are other comedy pairs that out shine anything of modern times of their scale ❤

Very interesting, thank you so much for sharing this info! What other types of video would you like to see on our channel?
Samantha Beckinsale is the spitting image of her dad....not kate
I think you mean Tommy Cooper, not Henry. Henry Cooper was a boxer.
Sid James too

He'll never sell any ice-cream at that speed

The Eric Morcambe Suite at Kenilworth Rd
what about luton town fc ????
What about Luton Airport?
What do you to it so far???
Reveals the truth??? All this information has been accessible on-line for years. Nothing here I haven't read before about Eric.
Stephen was an adopted son to Joan and Eric.
He is the same age as me. I always enjoyed watching M and W!
He was a very pleasant funny man but it's a shame that he smoked so many cigarettes
That was before they gave you cancer. 🙂
Joan do not fret he will be a charlie chaplin plus ,lv fan for life mark xxx
Gary Morecambe is a disgrace to his father.
@@wollowtit He constantly tries to exploit his long dead father.
Morecambe & Wise were crap. Totally unfunny and unoriginal. They got away with murder. As did many other British comedians in that era.
Ah! When did you have your Charisma bypass?
@@doogle2822 When did it become accepted practice to insult anyone who has an opinion you don't agree with?
@@zakmartin You mean in the same way you insulted Morecombe and Wise?
Omg there's something wrong with you they are legends the so called comedians of today are rubbish their the ones getting away with murder Morecombe and wise were wonderful very talented and absolutely funny you must be young to think this they are truly missed 😢😢😢
@@zakmartin I don't think anyone is insulting you they are just shocked by your comment and rightly so I was taken aback by it

He had his first heart attack in 1968.
Everything, just loved watching them, still do , have box sets of nearly all their shows, & am still laughing
