The Best Of Morecambe & Wise

A collection of some of your favourite sketches from an irreplaceable comedy partnership, including: "Anthony & Cleopatra", starring Glenda Jackson (but without Caesar, who'd come down with a touch of the "hieroglyphics"). "Monty On The Bounty" - with Arthur Lowe as Captain Blight, Eric Morecambe as Fletcher Christian and Ernie Wise as Midshipman Tinkle. "The meeting of Byron and Keats" - including such unforgettable lines as "two cows eating grass on a sunny hillock, by four tomorrow that grass will be mil-lock!" "Eric being well and truly "lacquered" as a long-standing member of a bar-football team - with new recruit, Ernie, strapped alongside him on the wooden bar. The classic "Singing In The Rain" Sketch. And, most famous of all, Eric & Ernie making breakfast to the sound of the stripper music.
