Having grown up loving Morecambe and Wise we settled down to watch this last night. It was cringe worthy.

Has anyone else watched it? What did you think?

I loved the Morecambe and Wise shows in the 60s but was really disappointed with the show last night. Probably good reasons why it was " lost " !

I could never find M&W funny. My in-laws thought they were brilliant and they used to roll around in their armchairs in helpless laughter. At Christmas I used to have to watch programmes like "A hundred years of Morcambe and Wise" or "That Riviera Touch."

I found the big one with the glasses made me squirm and the celebrities who were ritually embarrassed made me want to hide behind the sofa.

I haven't watched the lost tape as I have a feeling I wouldn't enjoy it.
