Meet Morecambe and Wise -- that's Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise -- who formed one of Britain's most illustrious and best-loved double-acts of all time. From beginnings in post-WWII Great Britain the lads soon found a home first on radio, then with television series and specials that spanned 20 years. And, for many of those years, they produced Britain's most watched Christmas special -- a real tradition. Morecambe and Wise were versatile, with both men capable of song and dance as well as either the comic or straight man role. That versatility made them a huge influence on future British comics including Ben Elton and Stephen Fry and Hugh Laurie. Not bad for a couple of song and dance men who just wanted to make people laugh. As always find extra cuts below and thanks for sharing our shows! Want more Morecambe and Wise? Morecambe and Wise had oodles of chemistry -- perfect for two guys who could flex between the comic and straight man parts with ease. Here is some typical banter with Shakespeare the focus. https://youtu.be/WMXz2SCqtfg?si=rMO19GXNPcWZD__6 As one of Britain's top variety shows, Morecambe and Wise were the place to be for pop stars including a man who was the biggest of all back in the early 1970s -- Tom Jones! -- who shows a bit of comedic flair himself. https://youtu.be/e66z6nnWKq0?si=Siv0_Hkb0kiPECpT One of Morecambe and Wise's secrets was the quality of their scripts, mostly written by Eddie Braben who also was the pen behind David Frost and Ronnie Corbett. It allowed them to draw top-notch guest stars including Andre Previn, here helping the boys with a classical music bit (taken from the 1971 M&W Christmas Special). https://youtu.be/R7GeKLE0x3s?si=sBr-gYcqixGc1l8j

This is a chat between Rich, Robin Ince and host Tommy Pearson from an event at the Eric Morecambe Centre in Harpenden which was a celebration of all things Morecambe and Wise - it includes thoughts on what made the pair the legends they are, a look at some clips from the shows (not included in this podcast but you can easily find them) and some thoughts on how double acts work. There was an incident towards the end, which Rich and Robin discuss in hindsight and then at the end there's an extra chat between Robin and Rich about double acts they've been in.

A rediscovered episode of Morecambe and Wise is set to be broadcast in colour for the first time on Christmas Day. The footage was found by Eric Morecambe's son Gary in the attic of his mother's house. The 45-minute episode had been wiped by the BBC so the expensive tape could be re-used. The episode turned out to be the comedy duo's first show made for BBC One, which originally aired 8 October 1970 after they moved from BBC Two. Eric and Ernie became the nation's most popular double act and their show became unmissable television. Today's Martha Kearney speaks to Gary Morecambe, son of Eric Morecambe, about finding the tape and the duo's legacy. (Image credit: BBC/PA)

The light entertainment world of the 1970s has come under the spotlight recently which reminds our titular duo of the foul deeds of respected newscaster Sir Trevor Macdonald and in particular the unfortunate predicament that befell Angela Rippon when the apparently friendly rivalry betwixt God’s own BBC and the grubby little ITV went a little far.In other news Archie still has his captive under the stairs and Reg has fallen for the charms of Mavis The Cleaner.

The SFF Podcast pre-season continues with the return of Krys as host, joined by one John returning from holiday as the other remains on his. It's a bit like the Celtic first team squad returning from World Cup duty. Speaking of the World Cup, chat quickly turns to England's disappointment at an otherwise brilliant tournament. VAR gets some discussion after it's pivotal place in one of the best finals in living memory, while the tournament itself also went down a storm. A bit like Neymar. Closer to home, we're still four out of four in terms of European representation, although the pessimism is clear about how much longer that might last. Discussing third qualifying round opponents feels a bit odd given this was also the second qualifying round preview! But that's UEFA for you, cram in as many qualifiers as possible to weed out the wee diddy league teams before they meet the small fish from the big pond who get a bye to the group stages. And as for group stages, the Betfred Cup is well under way in the sectionals for all the non-European competitors. Someone at the SPFL really needs to check a calendar though and remember it's 2018 and we haven't had two points for a win in 25 years. It's a quick review though as not many shocks have happened, other than the greatest football result known to comedy... even if it was on penalties. Next week we should have a preview of the upcoming league season, but enjoy this chat as we get back into the swing of things. Feel free to contact us on twitter sffpodcast

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever seems to. Joining Tim this time is writer Jacqueline Rayner, who wants to know who else remembers ITV panto Quincy's Quest, lurid soft drink Quosh Tropical, comedy battle game Klonks, Bernie Clifton's character El Bandido, Pippa dolls and Honey Bear Spread. Along the way we'll be finding out how to tell if Morecambe And Wise are coming to murder you, the best adventure Doctor Who never had, what happened when a runaway horse smashed into a bathroom factory, and why you should avoid German Smarties at all costs. And if you can tell us the name of Jac's mystery scary children's programme, or alternately who said 'bastards' on Radio 4, please let us know...! You can find more episodes of Looks Unfamiliar at http://timworthington.org

As a special extra Christmas treat for Looks Unfamiliar listeners, here's a compilation of highlights from the archives, with extracts from Christmas-themed podcasts of Christmases past by Tim Worthington, Ben Baker, Phil Catterall and Darrell Maclaine-Jones. A lot of this hasn't been available for years, and a lot of it is still rather funny, so we hope you enjoy it! Along the way we talk about Now - The Christmas Album, Val Doonican, A Christmas Gift For You From Phil Spector, School Fairs, Department Store Grottos, Last-Minute Shopping and Disastrous Office Parties; run down charts of Bad Santas, The Worst Ever Christmas Songs and The Best Ever Christmas Quotes; and listen to bewildering Christmas Singles by Russ Conway, Rotterdam Termination Source, Mr. Christmas, Percy Sugden from Coronation Street and The Count from Sesame Street. We'll also be finding out who Tim thinks is more important than Father Christmas, who Ben suspects might be Father Christmas, what happened when Phil went carol singing, and what the other tape in Darrell's house was. Not to mention who recorded a song called 'Santa's A Big Fat Fuck'... Ben Baker's Festive Double Issue is an informative and hilarious book looking at the good, the bad and the plain baffling from forty years of Christmas TV, from Morecambe And Wise and The Box Of Delights to some thing with Willy Rushton as Santa stuck in the Wild West. No I'm not making that up. It comes very highly recommended and you can get it in time for Christmas from https://benbaker.ecwid.com/Ben-Bakers-Festive-Double-Issue-Forty-Years-Of-Christmas-TV-p95383976

It's Eric and Ern...in colour! Gary and Tilt return to the cinema to discuss The Intelligence Men, That Riviera Touch, The Magnificent Two and Night Train To Murder.

Looks Unfamiliar is a podcast in which writer and occasional broadcaster Tim Worthington talks to a guest about some of the things that they remember that nobody else ever does. Joining Tim in this episode is writer Stephen O'Brien, who wonders why he gets blank looks all round whenever he mentions Steven Moffat sitcom The Office, early 'lad mag' LM Magazine, eighties puzzle cash-in paperback You Can Do The Cube, KLF-affiliated early Stock Aitken Waterman act Brilliant, The Beachcombers and other last-minute ITV emergency schedule replacement standbys, and The Morecambe And Wise Board Game. No he's not making that last one up. Along the way we'll be finding out how many issues of 'Razzle And Wise' were published, how many characters Stefan Dennis can play on stage at once, and which seventies action serial is slightly less preferable to actually being at school. If you've enjoyed this, why not have a read of Tim's book Well At Least It's Free - more details at http://timworthington.blogspot.com/

We are back with another episode. This time we look at the lives and careers of Morecambe and Wise. Remembered fondly as Eric and Ernie. Possibly England's best comedy Duo, who performed on Stage, Radio, TV and Films. You can find us on Facebook. Opening Music by Kevin McLeod

With Kirsty Lang. Morecambe and Wise are remembered and revived in a new stage production called Eric And Little Ern, which follows on from a TV biopic of the double-act, a one-man show about Eric Morecambe, and the award-winning The Play What I Wrote. The writers and stars of this latest homage, Ian Ashpitel and Jonty Stephens, discuss the reasons for the comedians' enduring appeal. Performance poet and rapper Kate Tempest won this year's Ted Hughes Prize for innovation in poetry for Brand New Ancients, an hour long spoken story depicting the intertwining lives of two families. As she begins a tour which will take the show all over the country, she explains who the Brand New Ancients are and reveals the play that changed her life. James Bond producers found themselves embroiled in a legal dispute with Kevin McClory - a co-writer of the 1965 film Thunderball - over who invented the cat-stroking supervillain Blofeld. As a result, the character was left on the shelf for 30 years but with news that the relevant rights have been acquired from the McClory estate, it looks like our most famous screen villain could be given a new lease of life. To reflect on the character of Blofeld and why he has become so ubiquitous in popular culture, journalist Stephen Armstrong came to the rescue. And 50 years after his death, the Chronicles of Narnia writer CS Lewis has been honoured with a memorial stone in Poets' Corner in Westminster Abbey. The Dean of Westminster, the Very Reverend Dr John Hall, explains how the selection process works. Produced by Ella-mai Robey.
