Morecambe and Wise: In Their Own Words

Logo for Morecambe and Wise: In Their Own Words

Jonathan Ross introduces the story of British television's greatest double act as they told it themselves, using television appearances, rare radio material and newly uncovered correspondence from the BBC archives to build up a fascinating portrait of their lives and careers. The programme reveals how as young performers, Eric and Ernie reallly did share a bed. And the BBC's rather lofty response when they first auditioned for television in 1948.
