Morecambe and Wise at Thames

Product Details

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 six-disc 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.
