It amazes me that their delivery of their lines should sound so effortless and natural. And they really look like they're having fun rather than giving a well rehearsed performance. No wonder Peter Cushing kept coming back! :)
for me ,Eric is the funniest man ever to appear on tv.The two of them make it look effortless.What a joy to have worked with them it must have been.Just priceless.
This is the sketch in which Peter Cushing had to wait years to be paid by the duo for performing in it. The joke ran for another 11 years, with Peter Cushing coming back on to the show constantly asking to be paid and always being fobbed off by the boys. It took until the 1980 Christmas Show on ITV before Peter got paid. Fantastic.
"What News of Carlise".........(Eric)........they won 3-1.........hahahahaha so funny from in my opinion the greatest double act there was i never get tired of watching these 2 sad day when Eric Morecombe died in May 1984
I love Eric and Ernie they are utterly brilliant, i wish there were more things like this now! That would be Awesome :D Its just so sad how we have lost these 2 grate comics even if it was a while age there still loved and Missed RIP :(
Only the professional actORS could really do scenes with Eric and Ernie, their stage experience really shone through. Peter Cushing never got paid though did he?😊😏 Or did he? Bless you Eric and Ernie for all the laughs what you gave us. ❤
Eric: Rubbish! That's Rubbish that .. (Looks at Ernie and what he is wearing) ... Good lord (laughs) Brilliant cracks me up every time , true entertainment
I love the bit at 07:15 where Ernie (as Merlin) is adding poison to Eric's goblet from the ring he's wearing, and as he's doing this the ring hits the edge of the goblet and makes a loud jangling sound. Eric then makes an identical sound by tapping another goblet at the same time. It's so very silly, it just makes me titter. :-)
There's a not very well known fact about Peter Cushing that's evident in this. He had absolutely huge feet. When he played a villain in Star Wars he had to do it in carpet slippers because the costume boots didn't fit. How do I know that? He said so himself in a chat show

The fact that Peter Cushing got through this sketch without corpsing is a testament to his acting ability.

I still laugh at this sketch, there will never be another comedy team like eric and ernie, sadly missed.

Are you John King or do yo mean it? 😊
Peter then used the money to build the Death Star :) (yes I know that was in 1977, still worth a gag though)
the joy in my heart when i see Eric and Ernie, love them ❤
Gosh, life was better for there being such blokes as these.
"Tell me about your doings" classic!

This and so many of their sketches still crack me up! Eric was a comic genius.
Peter Cushing doing his best to contain his laughter at Ernie Wise 2:00 - 2:05 LOL!

To get the late Great "Sir" Peter Cushing was a real coup, Peter seems to be having great time.
You've got to love Eric's laugh
Eric: Rubbish! That's Rubbish that .. (Looks at Ernie and what he is wearing) ... Good lord (laughs)
Brilliant cracks me up every time , true entertainment
I love how Ernie's moving. It's so funny. I can't stop laughing. Of course Eric is really funny.
The comedy duos are great and the actors did well for their part.

Absolutely brilliant.
Never knew that Governor Tarkin used to be a king.
Eric: "Whoever made it was a genius
Ernie: " I did"
Eric: "Stinks!"
I LOVE YOU ERIC!!!!!
Eric Morecambe was brilliantly hilarious in this sketch.
Eric's wit is so fast he's hilarious
Love Peter Cushing,
Love it

"what a fine actor that boy is!"
"That's a girl!"
"Is it? You coulda fooled me from here."
Absolutely bloody priceless.
Was it really as far back as 1969? Oh Bugger...I was a mere 16 and now I'm 60...where has life gone?
cogidubnus1953 Faded in the light of old sunsets and the distant sound of passing traffic...
Dusty fingerprints on an abandoned handrail....😏
How on earth did Peter keep his face straight ...
classic morecambe and wise comedy.
My favourite of Ernie’s play
one of the plays what eran roat
ME THINKS IT IS A TABLE SIRE...
love 4:04 --- so funny
I wonder if this is where the writers of Blackadder got there ideas.
Many were inspired by Eric and Ernie. They were legends of their craft.
4:45
He never got his money you know
He did eventually, more than ten years later, buy he had to trick them to get it.
No mention of the female guest star?
Not sure about the blond waitress but Quinnevere was Ann Hamilton, their regular female co-star
poor cushing cannot keep a straight face
Love it
