Press
The legend of Eric and Ernie is still potent. Fronted by Lenny Henry, this series combines guests and clips to explore different aspects of their comedy. Tonight, Glenda Jackson recalls the mixture of hilarity and intense professionalism that was a feature of working with the duo. Sunshine is brought.
