The Morecambe & Wise Show: The Thames Years - The Complete First Series

The first series of the boys' ill-fated four-series-run at Thames Television, brought to an end by Eric's untimely death at age 58 in 1984.

The first disc holds all six episodes of that first series (1980), whilst the second is stuffed with their first Thames show - a special from October 1978 - plus Christmas specials from 1978, 1979 and 1980.

Often thought of as below-par for Eric and Ernie's normal standard, but very funny nonetheless, and a must-buy for any fan of the comic duo.
