Download Morecambe and Wise: Christmas Special AudioBook Free
A rib-tickling collection of seasonal sketches, songs and plays from Eric and Ernie's BBC tv set Christmas specials. "The greatest double act in the history of British television". (The Independent). Morecambe and Wise are one of the most popular and enduring double acts ever to appear on television. Their Christmas specials were amidst the highest-rated programmes ever, with viewing figures in the tens of millions, plus they soon became seen as a national institution. These highlights from the years 1969 to 1975 include a host of stellar guests including Eric Porter, Fenella Fielding, Peter Cushing, Glenda Jackson and Des O'Connor. Here, too, is Ernie's play Victoria and Albert, the classic Grieg's Piano Concerto with Eric as soloist, conducted by Mr Andre Previn/Preview and Eric's appearance at the flat with a giant Christmas tree taken from Trafalgar Square ('we were very lucky, there was only 1 left'). Along with the duo's inimitable design of delivery and repartee, it's no wonder a BBC poll saw Morecambe and Wise voted 'Best Light Entertainment Performers of most Time'. This fantastic compilation represents the very best of Eric and Ernie's festive fun. Duration: 2 hours approx.
