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.
