From the 1971 Christmas Show, this is possibly the most popular Morecambe and Wise sketch of all. But too often it is shown incomplete, starting from the mom…
Joshua Aaron
With a keen ear for detail, Joshua Aaron delves deep into the rhythms of the music industry. His insightful reviews of songs and their corresponding sheet music unravel the magic behind every composition. Journey with him through the symphony of sound.
Happy 85th birthday to our Conductor Laureate and former Principal
Conductor André Previn. He’s had a very long career, but the most famous
moment of it is of course his appearance on the Morecambe and Wise Show in
1971. Still extremely funny today.
Oh, that bit where Eric grabs Andre Previn and says, “I am playing all the
right notes, but not necessarily in the right order!” So, so lol. Also the
way Ernie keeps calling him Andrew Preview. Greig’s piano concerto, “with
him and him.”
This is such a classic! Easily their best sketch.
Simply wonderful – and Andre is an amazing straight man – who wouldn’t have
laughed with Eric right in your face like that! :-))
I just realised, this was also on another beautiful British comedy: BLACK
BOOKS
It’s good is it, it’s sorta relaxing.
Andre Previn looks like he could be Rich Fulcher’s dad in this sketch.
MUSICAL HUMOR !

Paddy 9i99 may feel that they’re not funny, which is his privilege but
we don’t need to know his opinion. Besides if he is so convinced that Eric
and Ern aren’t funny, why does he watch?
amazing such a nice man
Just Brill!!!!
Surely the greatest comedy sketch of all time….
Perfectly written, perfectly acted. Everyone involved contributed to making
this one of the great pieces of comedy writing in the English language. It
really is THAT good. Even the reactions of the members of the orchestra at
the back are funny. Modern “comics” like Ricky Gervais (to name just one)
should watch and learn.
Absolute genius. Andrew Preview was fantastic too.
Magnificent. Television doesn’t get any better than this.
By Crackey lads; they don’t make them like that anymore.
Incomparable!
Sadly both gone but never forgotten while this jewel remains.
this all ways make’s me laugh
Is André Prévin still alive these days?
this will never grow old, i’m still in stiches
this will never grow old, i’m still in stiches
This whole sketch is a work of ART! Magical!
