BRIAN READE: 'Stop grovelling and back the BBC squaring up to Donald Trump'
Is it a good day for Morecambe & Wise?
Trick question, it's always a good day! Elton John ("sounds like a rest stop on the motorway") tries to teach Eric and Ernie to sing a duet in countermelody, from their 1976 BBC Christmas special.
Via Dave Hutchinson on Bluesky. A classic Eric Morecombe one liner gag.

Played two gigs in a very large (for me) venue in Morecambe this weekend. I'm knackered! Please send kittens and heavy slow riffs.
Who knew that I had something in common with Robbie Williams?
Eric Morecambe was my childhood hero too. I was devastated when he died.
I don’t blame Robbie for going all out to buy Eric’s glasses. It’s hard to think of any object (other than his pipe maybe?) that is more quintessentially Eric. What a thrill to have them!

0. Going to #Morecambe, sad to say not very impressive on a damp Monday, but...
1. #EricMorecambe statue - had to smile.
2. Time in games arcade, much enjoyed by grandchildren. Prize value v. Cost about 1:10, save the football goal game and grandson that saved the day.
3. KFC for lunch, edible, enjoyed by grandchildren, and no Mummy to complain at lack of healthy - the joys of grandparenting 😸
I'd actually go further. This one episode shows all the weaknesses in PRO. It is like a #StarTrek show written by AI. Someone fed Star Trek but For Kids into a chatgp clone, and PRO was what it spat out. All the bits are there, but the way they are arranged are, to quote #EricMorecambe, "playing all the right notes, but not necessarily in the right order". Contrast with LD, and you can see the love and care in it. Not here though.
