Morecambe & Wise: auditioning for the Âé¶¹Éç
Eric Morecambe’s family look at his Âé¶¹Éç file
The Âé¶¹Éç is celebrating its centenary.
Among the most famous of Âé¶¹Éç performers is the double act Morecambe and Wise.
Eric Morecambe’s daughter Gail and son Gary spoke to the Today programme’s Garry Richardson, who started his Âé¶¹Éç career in the corporation’s Written Archives department.
The Archive holds an amazing collection of Âé¶¹Éç papers – among the papers Garry found the letters written by the double act to the Âé¶¹Éç, and the Âé¶¹Éç’s replies.
