Eric & Ernie's Home Movies

Duration: 59 minutes

First broadcast: on BBC Two HDLatest broadcast: on BBC Two HD

This one-hour documentary takes an in-depth look at the early days of the legendary double act - both on and off screen - using previously unseen footage from Morecambe & Wise's own home movie collection. The archive footage, shot in the 1950s and 1960s by both Eric and Ernie, their wives and friends, provides a unique insight into the pair and their lives at home and abroad, on holiday and relaxing between work engagements - the first time that the collection in its entirety has been made available to documentary makers.

The new footage is combined with fresh interviews with those who knew them best, and who also appear in the home movies - from family and friends to colleagues who worked with Eric and Ernie during the early stage of their careers. Show less
