I love Ernie's face when he suggests "Could we get in touch with Greig ?" at 2:57
-
I'm open to argument, but this is surely the best comedy sketch ever. Oh, & Andrew Preview rocks!
-
@dunebasher1971 : "Over time, this story has mutated into the idea that Previn learned his entire part from scratch in a single taxi ride on the day of recording. " That is strange, because Previn himself has said in interviews that he had not managed to make rehearsals, but merely read the script. Are you saying he is lying?

I really miss Eric and Ernie. I'm only 13 and they are the best ever double act comediens I have ever seen in my life and that will stay the same forever! May they both Rest In Peace! xxxx Love them both!!!!!! Great sketch!

@purplestar9902 FWIW, the story that Previn had no time at all to rehearse is something of an urban myth. The reality is that he did rehearse, but only for three days rather than the seven that Morecambe & Wise usually insisted on. He had to leave rehearsals to go and see his mother, who was ill in New York. Over time, this story has mutated into the idea that Previn learned his entire part from scratch in a single taxi ride on the day of recording.

@Voxac100b lee mack could also have a go playing eric as well
Vic might be closer... who would be ernie?

Perfection!!!

@purplestar9902 - I heard that. The sketch was originally done in the Sixties - but with no famous conductor. Andre Previn really MADE the sketch.

Ernie's litle dance is wonderful

Enrie's little dance is wonderful

Wonderful - I never get tired of seeing this! It's comedy at its best perfomed by experts at comic timing who we don't seem to have anymore.
Remarkably, Andre Previn had no chance to practise this sketch beforehand and actually learned his lines on the plane coming over to the studio. I agree that the expression on his face after hearing Eric's piano playing is priceless!

He says: 'Forget it- for another four pounds, we could've booked Edward Heath.' Or something to that effect.
