Description

Between 1975 and 1978, when they were at the peak of their popularity on television, Morecambe and Wise also starred in their own radio series, with each episode scripted by the one and only Eddie Braben. This feast of gags, sketches and song and dance numbers - plus of course Ernie's 'plays what I wrote' - features a host of special guests including Ann Hamilton, Anita Harris, Gayle Hunnicutt, Richard Caldicot, Percy Edwards, Nicola Pagett, Brian Wilde, Des O'Connor, Vince Hill, Penelope Keith and The Nolan Sisters. So pull back the stage curtain and settle down to nine hours of sparkling comedy, in the company of 'the tall one with glasses' and 'the one with the short, fat, hairy legs'. Honestly, you can't see the join. The comedy in this release reflects the attitudes and conventions of the era in which it was first broadcast.
