Series 1, Episode 1 - Culture And Sophistication
Further details
Lenny Henry is joined by special guests Glenda Jackson and Hugh Dennis - with special help from Angela Rippon - to reveal how Morecambe & Wise can tell us all we need to know about being cultured and sophisticated.
Stand by for brilliant but rarely seen clips from Eric and Ernie's heyday, along with familiar favourites such as Antony and Cleopatra - a play "what Ernie wrote" - and the immortal encounter with Andre Previn as Eric plays "all the right notes - but not necessarily in the right order..."
