This November Network have three special Morecambe and Wise releases. Undoubtedly the best-loved double act that Britain has ever produced, Eric and Ernie were a staple on our TV screens for decades.
Morecambe and Wise at ITV
Morecambe and Wise came to fame in the mid 1950s but their popularity soared in the 1960s whereafter they were TV chart toppers for the rest of their careers starting with Two of a Kind, their hit comedy series for ATV. After a decade at the BBC the pair were in residence at Thames Television, where their festive specials were hugely successful! The Morecambe and Wise Show was massively popular with the public and its fast-moving skits and musical parodies have lost none of their warmth and humour over the years.
This 14-disc set contains all 48 editions of ATV's Two of a Kind (plus a wealth of special features from that era) alongside all 26 editions and seven specials of Thames Television's The Morecambe and Wise Show.
Available on DVD - 29th November
