Just finished Sunshine and Laughter @cheeseford's exemplary study of Morecambe & Wise, a fresh, and quietly corrective, retelling of their well-worn narrative full of details you'll get nowhere else.

As a bonus, if you wade through the "pointless padding" at the back where the author shows their working out and proves they're honest you'll see my name twice. Recommended.♥️♥️
