Matt on Morecombe & Wise?

Post by michduncg » Sun Dec 10, 2006 10:30 pm

Hello all

Just curious if Matt ever appeared as a guest of 'Morecombe and Wise'? Have seen all sorts of stars as 'stooges' alongside Eric & Ernie, just wondering if Matt ever did? If so, is this clip available anywhere?

I do not ever remember seeing Matt with Eric and Ernie.

I think they would have made a great threesome!

I know - my comedy heros! Still funny 30 or 40 years on! I am sure Michelle will let us know. I still cry at the 'Andre Preview' sketch.

I am playing all the right notes, ......but not necessarily in the right order

I have a video of Matt appearing with Eric and Ernie, but it's not very good quality. He just sings one song.

Marian. :wink:

I'll save Michele the bother here!

I don't know, doesn't anybody look at the Website properly. I don't know, daft lot you are!

Matt appeared on Morecambe and Wise 4 Times. Some of these shows still exist in the archives too! 1 at ATV 3 at BBC (list says BBC but was their last ATV Series)

It's not an easy Job to find out what exists and doesn't though!

I'm sure I remember seeing Matt on TV with Morecambe and Wise when I was young. In the book that comes with the "Singers Singer" there is a photo of Matt and Ernie, sat at an outdoor table, in swimwear I think.

All Matt's appearances with Morecambe and Wise are listed on his TV appearances.

You're right Richard - must admit that I tend to ask a question in the forum rather than check out the website itself. sorry!

M & W were awesome Marian, wonderful wholesome family entertainment.

Who was the lady that used to come at the end and say goodnight and thank everybody for being on her show?!

I know this one Mike, but another senior moment I'm afraid, I'll get back to you! :? :?

Pretty sure her name was JANET WEBB.
Just looked at the M&W show I have and that's THANKS too, so probably the same show Jon mentioned, from 1971. :wink:

Having now read the full TV listing, I was surprised to see the 'Wonder of Woolworths' was as late as 1975, so pretty sure that I can just about remember seeing them on TV - went on for a whole commercial break!

Oh no -sorry to be the cause of another 'senior' moment Marian :shock: . But as I have said before, I think these fall foul of new age-discrimination legislation and would prefer it if you would use the phrase 'mature and life experienced individuals recall difficulty phenomenon' :lol:
