Eric & Ernie with Dave Prowse

This is the start of one of their episodes from 1980, complete with the Thames opening titles.

Ernie's had enough of Eric mucking about, so he's gone to "rent a giant" ho hire someone to make sure Eric behaves

I agree. I know this may cause some controversy, but I can't think of a single double act performing today that can hold a candle to these two.

@Feisty1967 At this point he was 6'6", but he's had a lot of surgery for health reasons since then, so now he's "only" about 6'1" or so.

@Feisty1967 You've probably looked it up by now, but he was six foot seven. He's a little shorter now due to age and surgery.

Blimey, how big is Dave Prowse?

The tall one with the glasses disliked this video.

@DavidRichardLord

No controversy. You're correct.
