- Synopsis:
The best-loved double act that Britain has ever produced, 'Morecambe and Wise' were a staple part of British television for three decades and their festive specials as much a part of Christmas as turkey, tinsel and terrible pop songs! The shows they made for Thames Television in the late '70s and early '80s were top-flight Light Entertainment, showcasing their mildly anarchic humour, impeccable sense of timing and keen eye for the absurd. Guest-starring Terry Wogan, Hannah Gordon, Dave Prowse, Deryck Guyler, Gemma Craven, David Frost, Glenda Jackson, Donald Sinden, Judi Dench, Leonard Rossiter and Alec Guinness, among many others, these fast-moving skits and musical parodies have lost none of their warmth and humour over the decades. This set contains all 26 editions of 'The Morecambe and Wise Show' alongside all seven specials made for Thames Television, most unseen since their original transmission. - Actors:
