The story of Morecambe & Wise, Britain鈥檚 greatest ever comedy double-act.
Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise met for the first time in the 1930s, while appearing as separate acts in one of Jack Hylton鈥檚 touring variety shows.
Both were successful child stars, and each recognised a kindred spirit instantly. They learnt their trade the hard way with periods of 'resting' and several flops, but the hard won experience gained on the way up proved the making of them in a career that lasted half a century.
The story of the much-loved comic duo written by Louis Barfe.
Omnibus of five parts abridged by Libby Spurrier.
Read by actress Penelope Keith, who guested on one of their shows.
