Morecambe And Wise : Complete BBC Christmas Specials
ReviewsBest Christmas TV ever Review date: 2008-02-23 Rating: 10 out of 10 We all know we love Eric and Ern, but what you really want to know is what's on the bloomin' discs, right? Here is Disc One of the Morecambe and Wise Christmas Specials which covers the 1969, 1970 and 1971 shows. I'll add discs Two and Three as soon as I watch them. The 1969 Show: Ernie being groovy Ernie in the bath (Eric takes a photo) Monks feeding the ducks Eric's giant X-Mas tree Song: Nina Eric's giant ventriloquist dummy Song: Sascha Distel Monks pull a pint Getting Fenella Fielding in the play Song: Frankie Vaughn Nelson Sketch Song: Bring me sunshine The 1970 Show: Exchanging gifts French Foreign Legion in the loo Fuel saving Car Peter Cushing (cut in half) Song: Kenny Ball Ann Hamilton over for Christmas dinner Eric Porter Song: Nina Edward Woodward Song: Edward Woodward William Franklin The 3 Musketeers Sketch The 1971 Show: Santa stealing gifts Eric and Ernie get awards (with Dick Emery) Monks At the chicken farm Song: Los Zafiros Glenda Jackson song with guests Cliff Michelmore, Frank Bough, Eddie Waring, Patrick Moore, Michael Parkinson and Robert Dougall Andre 'Preview' and the Piano Concerto Shirley Bassey funny 'Smoke gets in your eyes' Song: Shirley Bassey Piano and water sketch Francis Matthews Robin Hood Sketch If it ever gets here I'm sure it'll be great Review date: 2007-12-21 Rating: 10 out of 10 I'm giving this five stars because I have no doubt it will be great when it arrives. I watched every one of these 'live' the first time around, surrounded by my family, and am looking forward to reliving those memories, especially as sadly my family are no longer with us. But despite ordering on the 9th December, and paying for 1st Class delivery, and more infuriatingly, despite it saying a week ago that the order was being prepared and therefore couldn't be cancelled, according to the details in My Account, this has still not been despatched. I've been checking almost hourly for many days now, and the item has been in and out of stock like a yo-yo, but again, for about the third time, it's showing as In Stock so if it doesn't arrive in time for Christmas I shall be FURIOUS. Come on Amazon, get your act together and treat your loyal customers properly. Best Comedy Ever? Review date: 2007-11-30 Rating: 10 out of 10 3 DVD's covering 9 Xmas Specials. Worth the money just for the 1971 show which featured the classic sketches of Shirley Bassey and Andre Previn (or is it Preview?) Christmas feast Review date: 2007-11-30 Rating: 10 out of 10 Three-disc set comprising the eight Morecambe and Wise Christmas shows from 1969-1977 (there wasn't one in 1974). As usual with the BBC, there are no extras or booklet but it is such a bumper package of goodies, you still get your money's worth. Surprisingly, the first two shows here (starring Fenella Fielding, Edward Woodward and others) are identical to shows in the Series Two dvd, with the addition of the odd sketch and musical interlude. The quality does vary from year to year but generally these are fun-packed, memorable productions with loads of illustrious stars and of course, Eric and Ernie's nervy, well-honed showmanship. Highlights are Vanessa Redgrave as Josephine, the Robin Day brawl, Shirley Bassey in boots, Glenda Jackson as Queen Victoria, Jack Jones and backing singers, and their career-best sketch with Andre Previn and the Grieg Piano Concerto: a brilliantly conceived reworking of an old M&W routine, which has the feeling of improvisation yet the polish of true professionalism, and excellent timing by all the players, Previn a natural comedy straight man. Merry Christmas!
