It's interesting how there was an ad break just before Des started singing, despite that fact that the show was on the BBC and therefore had no adverts!
This is from the 1979 christmas special, which was made by Thames and shown on ITV, hence the ad break. Eric and Ern left the BBC after their 1977 special.
It is said that Morecambe was like this ALL the time. You can tell it’s off the top of his head as Ernie keeps genuinely laughing!!! Christ I miss him!!!!
Such class, such wit, such a good sense of comedic timing. I'm afraid we won't see their like again. All we're left with now are the street urchins and blue-collar rednecks who cannot speak without cursing, and STILL are not funny.
Agreed. It's also interesting to see that Des was more than capable of trading quips with Eric, though as he said on the Parkinson interview, Eric always had an answer.
Funny will always be funny :)

Never mind, they made up for that in other ways since! (Can imagine Eric saying something like that)

Either way, smashing clip.
