	Morecambe and Wise - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		A typical Morecambe and Wise show, as scripted by Braben, was effectively a sketch show crossed with a sit-com, although shows could also include the duo appearing "as themselves" on a mock stage in front of curtains emblazoned with an M and W logo (this was usually to open the show).
		Wise's contribution to the humour is a subject of an ongoing debate (to the end of his life he would always reject interviewers' suggestions that he was 'the straight man', preferring to call himself 'the song-and-dance man'); but as the manager of the duo he worked hard to ensure their success.
		Morecambe and Wise would often pretend not to have heard of their guest, or would appear to confuse them with someone else (former UK Prime Minister Harold Wilson returned the favour, when appearing as a guest at the duo's 'flat', by referring to Morecambe as 'Mor-e-cam-by').

		Originally Morecambe and Wise objected to sharing a bed (which would become one their most popular and fondly remembered character traits), but Braben countered that if it was good enough for Laurel and Hardy it was surely good enough for Morecambe and Wise.

	Morecambe and Wise
		Morecambe and Wise were the biggest comedy stars in Britain in the 1970s.
		And those bits in the show were never as funny as the bits with the two men bickering and squabbling with each other in a format that hadn't really changed since the days of the Music Halls (and re-using many of the same jokes, it seemed).
		The 1979 Morecambe and Wise Joke Book is actually a far better book than this one, but I don't have a copy so you'll have to make do with Eric, Ernie and the Member for Hampstead:

	DVD.net : The Best of Morecambe & Wise - DVD Review
		The final Morecambe and Wise Show was broadcast on the 26th of December 1983.

		Anyone who is serious about comedy (is that possible?) will add this disc to their collections as Morecambe and Wise are a great example of British variety comedy at its best.

	Eric Morecambe & Ernie Wise - An Appreciation; Morecambe And Wise DVDs and Videos
		Memorable moments included Angela Rippon displaying her shapely pins, André Previn getting a music lesson from Eric, the 'Singin' In The Rain Sketch', and Morecambe and Wise grapefruit squeezing to David Rose's 'The Stripper' tune.
		Both Eric and Ernie seemed unaffected people, and didn't seem that dissimilar to their on screen personas, though I did once see Eric lose his temper at a Junior Hatters (Luton Town FC Junior Supporters Club) do in the early '70s, and rightly so.

	The Morecambe And Wise Movie Collection [1965]
		The Morecambe & Wise Collection brings together the total cinematic oeuvre of Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise: The Intelligence Men (1965), That Riviera Touch (1966) and The Magnificent Two (1967).
		Though intermittently amusing, they serve mostly to confirm that Morecambe & Wise did the smart thing in devoting the majority of their career to television sketch show.
		The Magnificent Two, the final and by some distance the least funny of the three, is an updated though rather laboured subversion of the Spaghetti Western, relying rather too much on the notion that anything and everything to do with foreigners is inherently hilarious.
