when you realise unless hes lived to 120 eric is sadly not with us anymroe what a shame..the legend deserved to live forever ive never laughed so much in my life
I didn't know Eric, but what a joy watching this wholesome gentleman.... This was an era where greats like him existed. No overkill celeb culture, no social media, no woke, just a genuine and authentic human being living his best life.... laughing his way through health and old age. Wish he was still here today. I hope he had a blast on the unique Orient Express. Eric makes me want to laugh more and enjoy the years I have left 🙏❤️🙏
Thursdays at 8pm. Used to watch with my mate’s Grandparents after evening paper round. We’d turn the set over to ‘the other side’ after watching EastEnders 🤣
25+ years ago probably and I should imagine that Vera and Eric are sadly now no longer with us. I hope they got to enjoy their lunch in Paris and Orient Express banquet. What a lovely couple and this was Barrymoore at his very best. Thanks for sharing this great clip.
Also hope they enjoyed their holiday to Cuba, which was thankfully thrown in at the end by Barrymore himself. They were a really nice couple from what I saw of this clip.
Eric was absolutely brilliant, I have watched this video dozens of times, and still do. RIP Eric make the angels laugh. And Michael should be back doing what he does best and that's entertaining. He's talents is being wasted bring him back.
Wish he was still on tv. What a host. Watched this many times and still always makes me smile, When Eric says “doctor told me not to get excited” is priceless
Nick Meadows wow really thats amazing, i saw this on tv and had to put it on here was amazing. i edited it so just was about Eric and Vera. had me in tears and stitches. lovely couple. im guessing this was a while back now. thanks for your message really touched they were your great grand parents 😊
8:38 I remember laughing out loud when the unexpected trapeze lesson appeared 😂. I really miss watching this show a lot and the tv we have nowadays is nothing like it used to be. 😥 I hope it comes back one day.📺
Brilliant and natural. What a lovely couple Vera and Eric. So beautiful in natural laughing and enjoying themselves. Michael Barrymore absolute class, what a legend. He should be on TV still, gutted for him, what a gent and so funny. Destroyed by the tossers - the press! Bring back Michael 🫶🏼
Perhaps the only person on TV nowadays that can come close but not exceed Michael's showmanship is Bradley Walsh. Both are fantastic with the contestants.
Can't stop watch Eric , just so funny bless him , why this not been put back on TV, instead X factor , then Britain got talent , then X factor and so on , Barrymore was best at hes game
No one surpassed Barrymore for his skills with the guests. People say Brucie was good, maybe but he wasn't in Barrymores league. You can see Barrymore was genuinely interested in the contestants rather than pretending to be.
Ha, Eric 😅 M: "How do you put up with the pain?" E: "Well, it's like talking to you." Brilliant x Trapeze lesson! 😂😂😂 Vera must have a great sense of humour too. ❤
this is my fav episode love eric to bits he is so funny even of this bit Berry: Who does what Eric? Eric: Who does which? Berry: no Who does what? Eric: What which? Eric What does which? Berry: ER? Eric which is the what? Berry: Who does what Eric? It's not which. Who does What? Eric: Well the Hospital does
Where's that clip where Barrymore asks a contestant his name, and he replies "Eucant". The audience collapses with laughter ( Barrymore: "I'm sorry, did I miss something?"..

Michael is great with the audience and contestants. He should still be on TV. A natural talent.
Watching this in 2023 and it still makes me belly laugh…

Perfectly put 👏
youre gonna do great Rose
Guys like him still exist they just stopped putting normal people on tv.
Saturday night TV isn't in the same league anymore.
You can shove your X-Factor....this is what great television used to look like!
Amaan Storm this was never a Saturday night show from what I remember. Midweek I think. It was AWESOME
Either way it is in a different league to these x factor type shows
@@wooburn_off was midweek.
Agree with you
Thursdays at 8pm. Used to watch with my mate’s Grandparents after evening paper round. We’d turn the set over to ‘the other side’ after watching EastEnders 🤣
This bit was absolute class, Barrymore was brilliant on this, bring this show back! So funny 😂
I remember this episode vividly, my mother couldn't stop crying with laughter. Bless Eric.
thanks for this Marc! Vera and Eric were my Great Grandparents, this still has me chuckling! so funny!
They seemed like great people, when did they pass?
HorridConica awwww how wonderful!
Did they give their trapeze lesson away? :L
but they only met 2 years prior
HorridConica when did Eric pass away
We all need an Eric what a gem 💙
We certainly do. So sad we re losing that generation
I think they’re both alive still
@@Ryan-wg3ej nah they both died few years ago.. so I'm lead to believe
Yes so truly amazing
@@StuAnderson90 yes unfortunately you are right I think. But what a couple of amazing people salt of the earth these two were
The holiday gesture at the end was brilliant.. Really nice thing to do.
Made me tear up that bit Eric and Vera were so so amazing
Loved the start of this show when he interviews the contestants. Nobody better than Barrymore . Brilliant !! 😭😭
This is a delight. Michael brings out the best in everyone and is so genuine. The surprise generosity at the end was a lovely touch.
Micheal Barrymore has such a wonderful way with the people he laughs with them not at them. I miss him on Saturday nights.
Hope they bring him back seen him on piers morgan life stories felt sorry for his 1 of mt fav presenters

This is proper television! Absolute gold!
A hilliarious programme in its day.❤❤
Fantastic picture ❤❤❤❤❤awesome
I like to think that Eric was reincarnated and is now an accomplished trapeze artist.
Beautiful Eric, such a gentleman with a great sense of humour. Michael is so wonderful with him. Just loved this show, laughed repeatedly!!!! 😅 💕💕💕🤣
Pure Gentlemen.
I really miss this show so much.
TV gold at its finest
that was some amazing tv
with a great ending
Eric's reaction when the trapeze lessons showed up on screen
I couldn't stop laughing/crying
Proper hilarious stuff
I'm in tears too lol
Brian Magicman that part is so hilarious
Barrymore “look he’s using his prize already”
Wish he was still on tv. What a host. Watched this many times and still always makes me smile, When Eric says “doctor told me not to get excited” is priceless
We all need an Eric and a Vera in our life's what a lovely, beautiful man and a lovely lady 😂😂😂❤️❤️❤️
Couldn't agree with you more nichol, they looked a genuine lovely couple, and Eric was hilarious ❤️
@@MarcBrandonBeeWebsdale78 yes they certainly did
Nick Meadows
wow really thats amazing, i saw this on tv and had to put it on here was amazing. i edited it so just was about Eric and Vera. had me in tears and stitches. lovely couple. im guessing this was a while back now. thanks for your message really touched they were your great grand parents 😊
8:38
I remember laughing out loud when the unexpected trapeze lesson appeared 😂. I really miss watching this show a lot and the tv we have nowadays is nothing like it used to be. 😥
I hope it comes back one day.📺
The irony is that I don't think either Eric or Vera would have ever been able to go on a trapeze lesson!
Barrymore: What's inside a soap bubble?
Eric: A soap bottle?
HAHA. Love it.
Never knew about the holiday aspect till watching this
Only the interactions
Barrymore at his best
God Bless Eric and Vera xxx
wonderful and what a great man including Eric- wish we had a follow up of the holidays
Eric is fab, I'm absolutely crying laughing!! 😂
Brilliant and natural. What a lovely couple Vera and Eric. So beautiful in natural laughing and enjoying themselves. Michael Barrymore absolute class, what a legend. He should be on TV still, gutted for him, what a gent and so funny. Destroyed by the tossers - the press! Bring back Michael 🫶🏼
This was so funny 😂 just the tonic I needed too cheer me up at this miserable time with Covid.
Absolutely fantastic clip.........Barrymore was vilified by UK press
Perhaps the only person on TV nowadays that can come close but not exceed Michael's showmanship is Bradley Walsh. Both are fantastic with the contestants.
The prizes on this were amazing!
I actually remember watching this episode. Saturday night TV was the best!!!
This was actually Thursday night TV back in 1998
Eric is a legend.
Luved this show
Eric: Doctor said i shouldn't get excited 😂😂😂
Tears of laughter watching this.
is this where Asda got their uniform?
Can't stop watch Eric , just so funny bless him , why this not been put back on TV, instead X factor , then Britain got talent , then X factor and so on , Barrymore was best at hes game
Great show and presenter always makes me laugh and cheer me up well comedy does it is great
A nurse, a undertaker and a coffin-dodger, excellent combination....lol
Prime Michael Barrymore was an elite presenter. He just knew how to be funny
Michael: I'm just talking to her about baltis. Know what they are?
Eric: Yes.
Michael: What?
Eric: What you just said.
I love Eric
the star of the show
Cheers Michael.
I haven't heard that you RIPed yet.
Alright!?
Wonderful x
I was in torquay at the standup show, about 1985ish.
Great, Cheers
This episode was on challenge yesterday morning (Friday 2nd December 16)
👏 👏 👏 👏
Lovely
Ian was punching well above his weight.
Absolutely brilliant and fantastic host getting them extra prizes at the end.
Great person when I first saw on strike it rich
Good old TV show
proper Saturday night tv not like the crap we have now
I miss the old Saturday nights too my friend
It was never on Saturdays
No one surpassed Barrymore for his skills with the guests. People say Brucie was good, maybe but he wasn't in Barrymores league. You can see Barrymore was genuinely interested in the contestants rather than pretending to be.
Blimey. You’ve hit the nail on the head Sir
That was funny. Barrymore sure knows how to make it fun.
How on Earth did they ever finish recording this? And more importantly, what did they have to leave out?
they could leave the whole quiz bit and prizes out for me and just talk to the fun folk...
oh wait............ they did that on my kinda people lol
Funniest one I have ever seen. Love that elder man.
There is another bit where Eric is peering at the monitors with his hand shading his eyes and Barrymore says "What are you looking for? Ships?? " :D
That was a different contestant.
Agree a different contestant I remember it
I vaguely remember that
Ha, Eric 😅
M: "How do you put up with the pain?"
E: "Well, it's like talking to you."
Brilliant x
Trapeze lesson! 😂😂😂
Vera must have a great sense of humour too. ❤
I wonder what was cut from this episode , nice touch at the end
I noticed you haven't bothered...killed it
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣
Trapeze lessons killed me 😂
So funny, never gets old this clip 👍😁
The 👀s on that girl at the end!! 🤔❤🤔❤🤔❤
Eric is like my ultimate high 🤩
The sad thing about this poor Eric and vera must have passed away as this is going back well over 20 years God bless them 2 wonderful amazing people
Probably 30 years old
Apparently it was 1998
Bloody brilliant this so so funny
Top man bless him
8:36 Imagine either of those contestants on a trapeze!! Doubt that prize will be useful!
Here are the best bits with players Vera & Eric from the British TV show "Strike It Rich", hosted by Michael Barrymore. 🇬🇧 🇬🇧
It makes me sad to think that that older couple are now very likely passed away. Time is a cruel mistress.
Definitely gone I'd say very sad ain't it
I love eric ❤️ bless him
He was so lovely
Bring him back it's brilliant tv
Rip Eric legend
Such a lovely man
What a fantastic man
so funny bless him
Barrymore was a master of his craft.
Brilliant entertainment❤

A brilliant entertainer.
Aww Eric what a great guy

Berry: Who does what Eric?
Eric: Who does which?
Berry: no Who does what?
Eric: What which?
Eric What does which?
Berry: ER?
Eric which is the what?
Berry: Who does what Eric? It's not which. Who does What?
Eric: Well the Hospital does
Berry?????

Happy birthday Eric 63 today
i always preferred strike it lucky to strike it rich.
What year was this episode?
He is forever my hero RIP ❤️
Bring back Micheal!!!
Where's that clip where Barrymore asks a contestant his name, and he replies "Eucant". The audience collapses with laughter
( Barrymore: "I'm sorry, did I miss something?"..
That was shown on the channel ''Challenge'' the other day.
It's on an episode of strike it lucky 👍
Hilarious :)
What episode is this from? Does anyone know
1998 was the year not sure which series
Series 13 Episode 4.
I remember one couple getting hang gliding, eric would have reacted the same way he and vera got that prize.
Proper game show tv GOLD todays game show have nothing compared to 90s games show
