Morecambe and Wise DVD (1968-69) | Series 1 Surviving Footage & Complete Series 2 | Guests: Peter Cushing & Edward Woodward | BBC Tape Wiping Survivors | Bring Me Sunshine | Eric Morecambe & Ernie Wise | PG Cert | New & Sealed

Most of Series 1 was wiped. The BBC did that. What survived is here. Morecambe & Wise on DVD — the surviving footage from their first BBC series (1968) and the complete second series (1969). The BBC’s routine tape-wiping policy in the 1960s and 1970s destroyed irreplaceable recordings across British television — Doctor Who, Dad’s Army, the early Morecambe & Wise. What remains is rare. This two-disc set collects everything that survives from Series 1 alongside all four episodes of Series 2. Guest appearances in Series 2 include Peter Cushing (Van Helsing; Grand Moff Tarkin), Edward Woodward (The Wicker Man; The Equalizer), Frankie Vaughan and Kenny Ball and His Jazzmen. Eric Morecambe and Ernie Wise at the beginning of their BBC years, before the Christmas Specials, before 21 million viewers, before Andre Previn. Essential for collectors. 213 minutes. PG cert.
