If he's was still alive he would have been 100 years old today (14/5)

I never found Morecambe & Wise remotely funny, we've produced many comedians better than they were.

Used to live in Harpenden where he was.

He always had time for a chat and loved the fact that he was left alone as everyone respected his privacy

I'm amazed that in their TV series they shared a house together. They would do sketches in bed together and no one thought it the least bit strange. It just Eric and Ernie

Exactly the same. However they appealed to a lot of people. All a matter of taste I suppose.

Bullshit, grow the fuck up. If I don't like something I'll say so and you certainly aren't going to stop me.

In my opinion, their humour was basic, simplistic and unfunny. Other people have different opinions, which I accept.
