CAPSULE REVIEW
The classic Morecambe and Wise shows, the ones that get repeated on
British television every Christmas (but it's still nowhere near enough)
and the ones that contained more unforgettable comedy moments than any
other show of the 70s. These things should be declared a national treasure
- at the very least a DVD release would be nice...
