Morecambe and Wise are perhaps the best loved and most fondly remembered of all British comedy acts. They were the first truly great double act in Britain and, although many have tried to emulate them, no one has yet succeeded in replacing them in the hearts of the country. Despite his untimely death 18 years ago, Eric Morecambe's popularity continues to grow. In this book, Eric's son, Gary Morecambe, takes us on a personal journey through the life of "Britain's greatest comedian of the twentieth century" as witnessed from within. To add to the uniquely private and personal theme of this book, each chapter is introduced by a diary extract from Eric Morecambe while the book itself is studded with many hitherto unseen photographs from the Morecambe family archives.
