In this fascinating autobiography Erics son, Gary Morecambe, describes what it s like to grow up in the presence of one of the best-loved and most fondly remembered of all British comedy greats. Eric and Ernie brought sunshine and laughter to the people of Britain for an amazing 22 years. Includes photos from the Morecambe family archive and unseen extracts from his father s personal diaries. Frank and outspoken, this book provides a compelling insight into the man behind the laughter, a man who was constantly worried that one day he would be found out, who never lost his love of Long John Silver impressions, and who continued to work until heart disease finally killed him at only 58 years of age.
