A FABULOUS CELEBRATION of the extraordinary life of Britain’s best loved comic Eric Morecambe who, alongside Ernie Wise, formed a comedy partnership that would last an astonishing forty-three years.
From humble beginnings as a lad from Lancashire, through his golden days in variety, to his rightful status as a national treasure, Morecambe is an affectionate, wonderfully entertaining tribute charting the triumphs and tragedies in the colourful life of ‘the tall one with glasses’.
A must-see Christmas special, Morecambe will bring you sunshine this winter.
